Thane:
Hello house, please does University of Manitoba allow 2.2 GPA for Masters (2.84/5) ? Is there any way around it? Also any other good schools in Canada that can allow 2.2 . My degree is in Human Anatomy

I really need this information before I start applications for fall 2022 entry. Please help. Also, would I be required to pay my school fees from here in Nigeria before given visa?
University of Manitoba does not accept 2.2 applicant to their masters program, unless you have 70% GPA in your last 2 years (300 & 400 level GPA) of your undergraduate studies...

If you also have a long years of working experience (e.g 10 yrs working experience) + your 2.2, you'll have a good chance to be admitted.

Besides those 2 points, it'll be best to go for post graduate certificate program.

Concerning payment deposit, University of Manitoba doesn't require deposit, but many schools do require deposit and it'll be mentioned in your admission letter.

@Toceenay. The original question is how much POF is required for a fully funded scholarship student during visa application. Thank you.
No specific amount of POF is required, but often times on this thread many suggest that miscellaneous amount that covers traveling, settling in and emergency expenses might be within ₦3m

Hello, Good morn.

I know the chances of getting fully funded GA/RA/TA positions in Canada is relatively not as easy as that of the US but is it possible? Also, if you get a fully funded scholarship with the school maybe through RA/GA/TA position, do you still need POF during visa application?.
Yes... It's advisable to show POF even if you got a fully funded scholarship.
You may ask, why?
Because VO's believe that besides your tuition and living expenses which the scholarship would/should cover... There are some expenses that you'll need before starting your life in Canada, from traveling and settling in, pending the time the money for living expenses would be given to you by the school. Also there could be some emergencies that were not planned for. So, showing some POF for fully funded applicant is a way to tell the VO you're capable of taking care of these things.

@Toceenay, thanks soooo much for your response, can I apply for PGD when I don't have a degree, I presently don't have a degree at all, so what should I do, please also can you help share names of cheap colleges that I can find Telecommunication/ICT courses, I can apply for.
OH... I never knew you don't have a degree. You can't go for PGD then, I guess advance diploma or a certificate program in your work experience is the best bet.

For cheap colleges, many people here always recommend NBCC and NSCC, they are in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia respectively.

Hello, Please am new here and I need alot of guide on how to go about this. Am a licensed Nigerian Nurse/Midwife, So I have a Diploma in Nursing graduated 2012 worked in hospital for a year and went for Diploma in Midwifery and graduated 2015 worked for close to a year before I got a job at a telecommunication firm and have been working in their network operating center,( Not health related), since 2016 till date. Also I don't know how to go about with my sponsorship, My mum is to sponsor me, she is into local buying n selling of oil, although she has some landed properties and also rented apartments. My job also is a pensionable job, am really confused on how to start, the steps to follow, the school n course to choose, how to provide evidence of statement, and proof that will help me pull through, generally what to do. Am 30 and single for now, am the Last biological child in my family but I have an adopted younger sister, but she was adopted before she was born, so all her details from her birth certificate bears same surname with me, am adding this information because I have plans of taking her along once am a able to pull through n I balance. Please help me I need detailed explanation of every thing n necessary steps. Thank you

Before you get more response from a lot of experienced gurus here, this is my suggestion

First of all, you've been working in telecommunication sector since 2016, that's 5 good years of experience. So you have a good option of going for PGD in related courses... Also, since you're a licensed Nurse/Midwifery with few years of experience, you can opt for a diploma/certificate in that line as well (the only problem could be that you've been out of the system for about 5 years)

Focus on getting admission first, and during that time start to arrange for your proof of funds. Make sure your Mom's businesses are registered, so that she can easily proof the source of her income. She should as well have a bank account. If her business is always on cash, you can make sure the money pass through the account in other for her to establish a good flow. Also, her landed properties should have required documents to show for it. If it's on rent, she can provide receipts to show that she also make money from it.

Concerning your sister, you don't have any problem. During your application, include her name as your sibling(s), because legally you are. Being related by blood or adoption still prove you're siblings. After your application has been successfully approved and you land for Canada, she can start her own application.

You'll still get more info from others

Good morning all, the Msc program i am looking at set its admission requirement is a 70% grade. I want to know its equivalent in the Nigeria academic system on a 5.0 GP scale. I have researched on the internet but i could not find any helpful information. I have a 3.63/5.0 scale , would i scale the 70% requirement for the program? Thanks in anticipation of your response
You can easily search online for "CGPA % conversion", then select the grading scale from 4.0, 5.0 or 10.0, it'll convert it for you.
3.63/5.0 is 72.6%
Would have shared the site here, but na ban!

Family / Re: My Son's Girlfriend Comes To Our House To Sleep Everyday by Toceenay(m): 9:44am On Oct 11, 2021
wisemum:
I am bringing this topic here to see if I can get any good advise from youths of the same generation.

My son returned from schooling abroad two years ago and after completing his NYSC, has been trying to get a job. None has been forthcoming but he tries to keep occupied, trying his hands on different projects. He still lives at home but says that once he is financially stable, he will get his own apartment and move out.

He is generally a calm, law abiding , likeable gentleman until when he recently started bringing home this girl who dresses like a prostitute and who I discovered stays overnight in his room with him. His dad and I have fought him over this subject to no avail. I confronted the girl to tell her I do not feel comfortable with her sleeping overnight in my house especially since I do not know her family and will be held responsible if anything happens to her. She apologized to me and promised not to come to sleep over again. However, I noticed that after that, he started sneaking her in at late hours of the night when he thinks we have gone to bed, sometimes when it is past midnight. He hasn't introduced the girl to us as anything to him even though I have asked him several times what his intentions with this girl is but he will just say she is a friend that makes him happy- that's all.

He told his uncle that he likes the girl. I don't even know what else to do. I have tried talking to him, reasoning with him, but it all falls on his deaf ears. I do not like this girl at all. She comes across to me as a street girl- even though she is generally polite when she meets me at home anytime she comes during the day. I investigated and found out her work place is not far from our house. What I do not like about her is that she dresses, exposing delicate parts of her body and is a chain smoker.

Furthermore, to me, a girl who sleeps out in a mans' parent house, continually disregarding how his parents feel about it, cannot be good news. Once, I caught her almost naked in the night walking along the corridor leading to my sons room. She ran inside his room when she saw me. I was so embarrassed and wondered what if my husband had been the one who ran into her? What kind of thing is this? Only her pant on, breasts bare. It was the following day I traced her to her work place and gently but sharply and firmly told her I do not permit her to sleep over in my house again. His dad also spoke with him. I also spoke to him. Everything has been to no avail.

He still sneaks her in. Or did she jazz him?, Please advise me. Thanks.

I'll be firm and honest with you... Parenting is more than bringing up a child to be gentle, calm and respectful.

You are demanding some "moral values" you didn't inculcate in him. I'm sure you're part of parents that feel cohabitation is a normal thing, because this is the 21st century and that is the freedom he wants to exhibit. You're not comfortable now because it's in your house and with a girl you do not like.

The truth is if you had inculcated the moral standards at the initial stage of his life, he will never have done such. And if he would, not in your house.

We've lost the moral values in our society today, and that's the main reason for higher immoral practices in the world.

Landing gist:

I decided to leave Nigeria October 1st to mark my independence from the country.

We got to Montreal, immigration check, COVID vaccine checked, ArriveCAN checked, as we approach final lap for study permit. I was supposed to have a connecting flight to Toronto but cos of the numerous checks, I missed. My fears returned again when I tot of enrollment letter but I hoped for the best, I was finally cleared without being asked.

Drops pen.

Guys, I've been hearing that CBSA officers in Montreal are flexible compare to Toronto. I know 3 persons that entered Canada through Montreal, despite the fact that they didn't have enrollment letter and their schools have resumed weeks before they landed, they were still allowed in to start in January and gave them work permit. But the person that tried it in Toronto was sent back, they told him he should come few weeks before his January resumption.

Octavoral landing gist is just another confirmation about Montreal flexibility.

But not all 2.1 are able to secure Masters admission. Example. Me
The fact that 2.1 is usually the minimum requirement for a master's program doesn't mean everyone with 2.1 will automatically secure admission. All schools always mention that "meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission" and that is based on many factors.

Even here in Nigeria, like 40,000 candidates or more will write Post UTME, and like only 5000 - 8000 will be admitted for an academic year, despite the fact that they must have 200 point in Jamb for meeting the cut off mark.

At times I wonder how the so called our leaders think, is it that they don't have brain or they don't use it.

Something like this must be a continuous activity. Every day thousands of children are given birth to in the country and outside, they are still Nigerian and they'll need it at a point.

Some are not in the country, yet you refuse to make it an online registration and stick to physical availability.

In most advanced countries, a single number (eg SIN) given to a child at birth is what will be used for life. But here different number for different activities... We have: BVN, NIN, VCN, IPN, etc. For how long we go dey do this!
