Hello Wendu, As regards the 37k, it is an estimate for how much you would spend in 2 years. On the Avg Tuition fees at Uottawa are 7k per semester. When you multiply that by 4 (On the avg people spend 4 semesters aka 2 years) then you get 28k, the remainder i suppose should be for feeding and accomodation. 37k is just the avrg amount you would spend in 2 years, it can be more depending on the type of accommodation you get and your feeding as well.
I hope this helps.

WenduIce:
Hello room, so the last time i said anything i wasn't detailed and I realize now that the question was uncalled for as i have gone through the thread and gotten most of the information I need.
My name is Wendu, i have been offered admission to UOttawa for fall 2016 for Masters,communication. Want to start applying for study permit from now. I have a few questions though.
1) Which route is highly recommended- paper route or online. I have already decided to do upfront medicals no matter d route.
2)Since its just the SOA that needs d original to be sent, must all other copies of supporting documents be notarised.
3) I am planning to use my dad's company as sponsor and him as the co-sponsor using his dorm account. Please how can i go about it. Will both need separate letters/affidavits of sponsorship?
4) I'm sure I'm not the only one that got scared with the $37,000 in the offer from Uottawa as opposed to the $6,888 + that was written on their website for fees. Any comments on this.
5) I am currently working as a front desk officer in an oil trading firm. It doesn't pay me much so once salary comes in n it leaves..and sometimes they issue cheques. How would this affect the application. Do I need to to put in my empty SOA And again, it is not related to what I studied-Theatre Arts or what I'm going to study. Does it matter? BTW I'm 22yrs, finished from school 2014 and finished NYSC last year.
6) I asked the school for a letter of acceptance on their official letterhead as I felt the one that was sent to me via email may not suffice. they have agreed to send it and is asking what address to send it to.Please advice on the address or on if it is necessary at all. And if the different routes would have different addresses.

As I have more specific questions id ask but please gurus in d house..help a sister.

@tnuola, @hayqinsbFX @thesoj please help

Hello guys!

Happy New year!!!! I wish everyone the best of the year.
Anyone travelling to Ottawa with Lufthansa on the 4th of January?

enieme:

it simply means letter from ur referees. One being academic (e. G. Lecturer? ) and the other being a professional ( e. G.. boss at work ). The email should be an official mail e. G. School email or office email. They are to send directly to the school not you.
I'm also applying for A masters course at MUN.
the only problem I'm having now completing my application is the application fee payment. I don't have a credit card and no one around me does either. And the uni doesn't even have it her options like bank transfer e. T. C.

Hello, You can use your normal debit card. As long as it has internet banking features.
Have you bought anything online before with your debit card and it worked? If yes, then you can use it to pay for your application fee. I used First bank Visa card for mine.

Hey, still looking for a roommate? i will be coming to ottawa in January and I am looking for an aprtment

michael1385:
Please can i use GTB naira debit mastercard to pay for my application fees to MUN, UofS and UM...because what i have on their site is credit visa or mastercard. please i need urgent response. thanks

Yes you can. Even though, sometimes, the GTB naira mastercard's network is down. I know people that have paid with their Gtb naira card, if it gives you trouble, try another bank Card, preferably First Bank as they use different card server/platforms( or whatever they call it).
p.s: note that MUN states its payment portal is only open between 9am to 4:30pm our time.

ohaveez:

Congratulations

Thanks alot! this is truly a miracle as there were many mistakes in my application

Its been a longggg 12 weeks. My passport request mail just dropped!

ada4all:


Are u in RMIT? If yes, pls hw is d school? Are there Nigerians there? Are jobs in Melbourne and wat kinda jobs....what is d pay like....i would appreciate any feedback.

Hey Ada, I was searching to find out if there was anybody with a similar case as mine. Its been 12 weeks and I still havent heard from CIC, i notice you are already making applications to Australia, so am I( Just incase the response is negative), have you applied to an Australian school already? I recently got admitted into Deakin University Melbourne.

Zim5050:
[color=#990000][color=#006600] did u do up front medical?

No I didnt. Did my medicals on the 20th Oct. "Medicals Passed" was updated on Oct 24th

Apart from sending CIC an email query. Is it advisable to call? How can someone wait for 12 weeks (online route)? and still nothing?
It would be very unfair if they send a rejection after so long. Is it still possible for them to send a rejection after keeping you for 12 weeks?

Hello Guys,
Pls I need help. I am trying to apply to U winnipeg for my aunt.
I cant seem to find where I can apply for PGD Applied computer science. I have only been able to locate Masters of Applied computer. Can any one help me with a link? Thanks in advance

nauticalstripes:
Hey guys, Thank you for the good work you are doing. I applied for trv (PGD) on the 8th of October and my application was updated medical passed on the 20th of October but since then I haven't heard anything. My application is quite straight forward. I'm sponsoring myself having been in employment for the past 8 years. I paid first semester tuition and I have travelled quite a bit too. USA and UK included, yet I'm still freaking out cos I heard Travel history don't hold water with the Canadian embassy. I'm actually just seeking words of encouragement hence, my post. Please, if you are in a similar situation let me know. I would also like to hear opinions from the house. Thank you once again guys.

Hey
we are definitely in the same situation. I applied on the 15th of September, passed medicals on the 24th of October and I still havent heard anything since then. I guess all we can do now is hope and pray.

thesoj:

You just sent me a PM, so I'm responding to this on here so others can benefit.

Most Canadian universities accept 2:1 and above for masters. However uOttawa does accept 2:2, and there may be other schools too. Your aunty may have to email different Computer Science MSc program coordinators to ask them directly.

My frank opinion is that if her bank job is unrelated to computer science, the probability of her getring admitted to a CS MSc program with a 2:2 is very very low (esp given that she's been out of school for ten years). But she should probably email program coordinators to find out directly. A program that may be a good idea for her is the Electronic Business Technologies MSc at uOttawa.

Admission to a PGD program would be more straightforward for her. It shouldn't affect visa processing if she is able to convince the VO why she specifically chose her course and why she is doing a PGD.

thanks alot thesoj

Good Morning Guys,
Please I have a serious question for my aunty.

She graduated from Uni in 2005 with a 2.2 in computer science. Since then she has been working in banks (No gap year)

She would like to apply to a Canadian university for a masters in computer science with the hopes of moving there with her Family.
Please are there any suggestions on programs she can do with a 2.2 in computer science?
Do you suggest she goes for PGD? Wouldn't that affect her visa processing?

We have tried to research on University of Regina, Memorial university of Newfoundland University of Winnipeg, university of ottawa and its not quite clear if they would accept her 2.2. I would appreciate if I can get first hand experience from you guys.

I look forward to any help I can get.

P.S its almost 11 weeks and still no visa for me. God is in control.

The problem with bringing up theological arguments is that people get really sensitive about these kind of topics and everyone has his or her own views. If we do not stop this argument now, it would probably go on for the next 10 pages.

In other news... Pls I applied about 11 weeks ago, got called for medicals about 5 weeks ago and yet no Visa. I have mailed cic and still no visa. I am actually getting worried. I know there's nothing I can do right now. I just feel sharing my worries would make me feel better.

Congrats to everybody getting their TRVs
As for me, its been 9 weeks and still no response. Even people that applied after me through paper route have gotten their response. This is getting disturbing. Is there anybody in the house that applied on the 15th of September, has done Medicals and still hasnt gotten a response?

ugonwankwo:


Thanks for the reply bro. A second class upper in my school is 3.20 above, missed it narrowly.
Do you advise i still go ahead and prepare?

Hmm I dont get it. I think you are fine and you should apply.

ugonwankwo:
Good day house, am new on this thread. I have a couple of questions to ask.
1. Has anyone here gotten a direct admission to a masters program in any Canadian University with a second class lower? without going through PGD
2. I heard that University of Ottawa takes graduates with second class lower. Is there any other school in that category?

I actually have a CGPA of 3.10/4. Schooled in Ghana.

Urhm how is 3.1/4 a second class lower? On the american 4.0 scale, 3.10 is a second class upper. Not quite conversant with Ghanian education, but it should be same. check here http://www.classbase.com/countries/Ghana/Grading-System

afolaseg:


Relax bro, it is well.. lets have hope. we are still in thesame shoes. it will end well ijn. is it up to 8weeks? because my took exertly 8weeks and was dispatched on 12/11/2015.

ajaereogechi:

afolaseg:



I applied on september 16 and track my vfs yesterday 12 of nov and it says it has been sent to lagos nigeria but I didn't receive any approval mail. Bt am scared to go and pick it up. Still waiting for there text message because I learnt they send text message if its ready. I applied via paper route and did upfront medicals. Aw about you? Did you have any ideal y I didn't receive an approval mail? Or if truly they will text once my passport is with them in lagos vfs center?

I applied via online route. You are even one step ahead, my vfs page still says "Visa is Visa application, tracking ID xxxxxxxxxxxxxx is being processed at the Canada Visa Office . To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website." and I applied since September 15th oh. God will help us

I am confused. I need to know if anybody that applied on the 15th of September has gotten theirs. I got my Medicals approved on the 24TH of Oct, its been 3 weeks and I still havent gotten passport request. People that got theirs today should pls state when they applied and other information to help those of us that are hopeful.

/Hello House, Is there a way to waive the IETLS test?

another day gone, no visa. Has anyone that applied on september 15th gotten theirs?

Royat1:
Please,is there anyone here that knows any school in canada that allow Neco for someone that had mostly c6 and with a low tuition fee. Thank you.
