Hello Guru,

I need your candid advise as usual.

My sponsor l which is my mum name documentation is not all uniform.

In her int. passport, she didn't include her husband name she used her own surname

On my birth certificate, her husbands name is with her name and her own surname is not dere.

On some other document, the two surnames are used together.

But at least one of the surnames (hers or her husband own) is always used.

So am scared will CIC not think it's fraud that they r different people..how can I handle this without it having issues.

Thanks.

i am not a guru, but here is my question and then my view on what to do

is there any reason to the changes in surname on many official documents ??

i mean divorce, annulment?
if none,

swear an Affidavit before a Notary Public and submit, detailing that the person with all the different formats of surnames are the same person and that she will like to be known as ( whatever the person chooses) and she should stick to that in all her official documents and all.....

I'd like to get an opinion on how feasible chances are that one can get an admission to a research based masters program (especially in Computer Science/Engineering).

I've tried contacting a few professors to no relevant avail.

I've come to the understanding that unless you have a real concrete research proposal, efforts to directly contact potential supervisors will most likely be futile.

Has there been anyone in the forum who was successful in MSc. application without contacting a potential supervisor prior to applying (particularly in comp sci/eng)?

@michV @thesoj @yemdogg @Genius000 @QuantumMove01 your inputs will be appreciated.

While i am not a guru, i think from the replies on this thread i can say a little something something about the whole supervisorship thing. it is usually a lot more difficult to convince your potential supervisors if you do not have a proposal of what you want to do and how you hope to go about doing that same thing during your Masters programme. they also sometimes may reply to pattionately worded straight to the point emails where you can outline your interests displaying how far and wide you have read on such areas of interest (not sure about this but i want to believe that most research based masters programmes will request for your researcgh proposal as part of the application process).

about getting admission without the supervisor, i dont know how feasible that is because their requirements more oftenn than not state that without the supervisor, you will not be granted admission. some allow you to apply and then start your journey towards getting a supervisor while others will not even consider your application at all without supervisorship. This does not mean to say it is absolutely impossible. the best person to answer that will be either the graduate chair of your faculty or the graduate secretary.... but in my humble opinion for research based Masters generally, there is a need to have both the research proposal and the supervisor (where applicable) ready

Note i answered based on previous posts, i went in for law and while it is highly recommended that you speak to potential supervisors and all, it is at the admissions committee level that the supervisors pick their supervisees.

@ yemdogg Please what do you think about Sponsor from one's fiance, with sufficient fund, say about 30M balance, can it fly?

sponsorship from your fiance will be okay as long as the person is willing to write a sponsorship letter and also state in the letter why the person decided to do same on your behalf, since you are not legally married under the law yet. An affidavit stating that the said fiance will also be taking care of all the requirements as regards funds during your stay is also going to go a long way and finally in my opinion to show commitment to the sponsorship, the person may pay part/all the tuition fees required, and also send some money to your account making sure the narration reads for either living and feeding expenses and in the narration.

please note i am no guru, im an ordinary admission seeker and all i have stated has been what i have read on here.

Good afternoon to everyone, @ Osemigho and other gurus in the house, my application at UBC is under review, i uploaded my transcript while submitting my documents. According to the school's website, uploaded transcript are regarded as unofficial. it is advisable for me to send official transcript ( i.e send by mailing it directly from my previous school to UBC) when the admission decision has not been made. . And i could read this on the school's website that official transcript has to be submitted before admission offer will be made. Do you advice me to send my official transcript to them when admission decision is yet to be made. Thanks, ur reply will be highly appreciated

As you have rightly answered your question I will just reiterate it for you, while your unofficial/student transcript is okay in some schools for CONDITIONAL acceptance UBC has rightly informed you that no admission decision will be taken without your official copy, therefore to get admission, your official transcript has to be given

You really need legal document to prove they are separated. Consult a family/friend lawyer on the easiest way to prove that.
Oyinbo no dey believe story without evidence. Especially when it is from Nigerians(blacks). Lol.

Cc: Original Poster pls

Separation and Divorce in law are two separate and distinct situations...... While divorce will allow the change of name, separation is not technically seen as marriage over under law, so the change in name may be seen as suspicious or whatever..... In my opinion, the best your mother can do is to swear an affidavit, because if you go at them with separation then there is no reason for change of name as separation still gives an air of the possibility of a resumption of conjugal rights at anytime till proper divorce proceedings are commenced ...
@yemdogg what do u think??

Hello everyone
Pls am in a state of confusion right now and i will be so glad if you can help me out.
A friend of mine introduced me to an agent, in which i had a brief discussion with the traveling agent. He told me i will need to give him my WAEC cert, scanned passport data page, birth certificate and an 100k upfront to pay the school as an acceptance fee then we later talk about the amount am going to pay for his service which is 150k.
Please should i trust the agent and proceed or quit? Please ur opinion is needed
Thanks in advance God bless you guys

I'll only advise based on everyone's opinions and views please keep in mind I'm waiting on admission from my unis.

Using an agent has on this thread as mentioned by victims more often than not proved to be of no better value than doing it yourself. My advise to you, go through the first page of this thread and view the things that you need to know. And from there ask questions where you are unclear and do this yourself or better still pay @michv the *trv doctor* and I'm sure he'd help you out in a big way LOL..... I just don't see the need for an agent seeing as mst of us on this thread are a lot more knowledgeable about the ins and outs eveb better than the so called agents.....sorry to any agent in the room, just speaking from other peoples observations....

It is wel

Hello Gurus in the house, please i need ur assistance,
been trying to get a supervisor for my program (elect and comp eng) in the uni of manitoba, but proving so difficult. pls i would really appreciate if any one who was able to scale thru dis process or who has idea should please kindly help a soul and put me tru or assist on ao to get a supervisor.
All assistance rendered would he highly appreciated

Thanks in advance

While I started to look for supervisors in my various applications I found out that if you just mail the professor's and tell them what you think they want to hear, 9/10 will not reply... I got this from a PhD student in uottawa, when approaching a potential supervisor be very straight to the point, tell them why you are mailing them and why you think they'd be a good fit for your thesis, and why you'd be a good fit for their research interests. Not just telling them, send a copy of your CV, your research proposal, and also a copy of previous works, pls make sure they are not too bulky, many may not answer, a few will tell you that you can mention their names in your application and a few MAY even give you pointers on how to come up with a better proposal that would be catchy and interesting enough for someone to want to take you on.

They are people who are usually very busy so if your mail doesn't go straight to the point, more often than not your mail is sent to the trash....

Prayer is also key sooooo
Some are just downright uninterested

Good day my people, to all trv hopeful, God will take control.

I have a question, I want to use my uncle and my brother as sponsor be co-sponsor respectively, tuition is like 24000 cad, my uncle for instance has 23 000cad as his account balance and my brother has like 5000cad as balance,

But my uncle is ready to sponsor the entire of my education in canada just that presently his balance is not up to the total fee per year, what can I declare on the affidavit of sponsorship, how can I package this matter?

Many have this same problem I beleive

In my opinion he may not have the full thing for the full one year, but the job he has must be able to pay for your tuition and whatever else and still have some left over to take care of himself and the family (if he is a man, or woman, lol) but I don't believe that his account balance not reading the full amount for tuition and all will hinder the application outrightly, he may pay the first semester to show his commitment and his SOA must also be one that shows that over time he will be buoyant enough to sort your fees and also his own personal needs and all.

Hope this helps pls note, I have no first hand knowledge just from a lot of reading on the thread, and also some family experiences... I am still waiting o my admission from Manitoba and sask.

It is well.

[quote author=bosypumpin post=50208850][/quote]I did try something like that international security laws and its loopholes, which allows for them to operate in the international community, this included financiers both state and individual, when I sent my proposal, I was replied with the research proposal is dull, detailed, but not so helpful in the academia since its nothing new, and the suggestion was brought to focusing on Boko Haram and the Nigerian approach to it, although I still in my proposal linked it to the international community, so I guess in the and its all love.

Those three I'm sure of at least info was from some persons who are already in these schools.

[quote author=Nony1 post=50200415][/quote]That UBC is cheaper, i don't know about other courses, but for law, its not their fees are about 3-4k dolls apart. And UBC is one of the top 3 unis in Canada, and they are very strict with the 2:1 request unlike other schools that will consider your last 2 years despite your 2:2, I'm not sure UBC does same, at least according to my brother who's a masters student there currently.

I may be wrong though.

What's unique about studying in UofS and UOfM?

Why are there many Nigerians going to Saskatchewan and Manitoba?

I believe its because they are way cheaper than almost every other school when it comes to Masters? And it doesn't take away from the level of academic excellence they also portray.

I may be wrong, apart from that its every mans choice tho. Lol

Hi guys,
pls what transcripts should be uploaded during online application?
Information from my uni says they only send transcripts directly to the school you are applying and not to the student.

Pls someone should kindly give me an insight. thanks

Depends on the school you are applying to, Uni of Manitoba will allow you upload an unofficial transcript (student transcript falls here) for the initial assessment if you r given admission, you would be required to send the official transcript to them directly from your university here in Nigeria.

U of Sask also allows you to upload an unofficial transcript for assessment, and you will later also need to send the official transcript from your uni too.

Some schools require that the official transcript be sent alongside other necessary documents that are required for your admissions process. Depends, go through the school website, the information you will need will be on the application for a particular programs page especially where you have the required documents section.

I hope this helps.

Good luck

I am also applying to the faculty of Law of usask. I contacted three professors and one associate professor and all of em are ready, willing and motivated to supervise me during my LLM at usask. They all told me to apply formally and mention them in my application.....infact right now sef I don't know which of em I would mention.

I sent them my CV, transcripts and writing samples etc. I read their profile, some of their works, I even sent some of them my current research on corporate governance and she was excited and she even critique my research proposal and advised I include my preparation to undertake a graduate programme in my statement of intent. This is not a guarantee that I'd be admitted buh certainly I have gone extra mile to show that indeed I am motivated to pursue an LLM at their institution. Heather heavin is one of the supervisors ready and motivated to supervise me.... Guess what...she's the LLM program coordinator. Which means she's in the grad admissions committee.

So I'd advise you colleague to colleague try to contact two or more professors. N.b they don't respond to mails on time... Buh don't be discouraged they will eventually revert to you.

My research thesis is on the Nigerian approach to Boko Haram: need for a change. If I'm going by professors in my line of research, they are few and far between, except I just send to them anyhow, that's where my problem is, few are lecturers and researchers in Public International Law.

V.O is one if the last things you should be bothered abt for now ... V.O is the visa officer. Get admission first and then you can think about the V O and ways to "capture" his heart.

For U of S, check ur departmental website for "pre-app' form (it is not compulsory though it is for ur own good). Fill the form, then the form will be distributed to their faculty members (supervisors) to pick the ones they feel are 'qualified'. If you are picked, you will then be asked to apply formally.

NB: Being asked to apply formally does not imply automatic admission. Apart from the faculty members, the graduate studies committee will still review ur app to see if you met thier requirements.

Also, if you do not get a supervisor, don't bother applying to Saskatchewan, it is as good as throwing $120 in the bin. It is clearly stated there that even if graduate studies committee decides to give you an admission, if no supervisor accepts you as his student then it is as good as no admission.

To the bolded, I would like to disagree, because while I was applying I sent mails to professors and I was told when I am being considered for admission, I would be attached to a professor. So saying that I guess should be department related, don't state it categorically, for college of law,it is not compulsory, they'd give u a supervisor when your application is being considered.

Hello Good People, i am writing on this platform for the first time, have tried to brief through all the thread, it is a long thread i must say, however i will like to apply to University of Manitoba and University Of Saskwachan for fall 2017, am looking at Agric. Econs for U of Sand Economics for UofM, i graduated with 3.06, i will like to know how admission is visble for me.
PLEASE i also need guideline on how to write statement of intent for my admission.
Meanwhile i will be roundinf up for my NYSC next year march.

Please i need you people candid advice and opinion.

Good evening,
From my small knowledge o, 3.06 is low, but not impossible. For Manitoba which is a university thstis very competitive though, I'd advise not to waste money there. I know of three schools that may admit you with a 2:2 if your last two years were very good they are umanitoba, u Saskatchewan, and Uottawa, so why not switch Manitoba for Ottawa.

Statement of intent is basically u telling the graduate school why you chose the school, what you hope to achieve,and how the course you applied for helps you achieve it, and also how your undergraduate years have prepared you for the stressful graduate course you want to take.

Goodluck

No need for sample, just introduce yourself, talk about your research interest and how they incline with the research interests of the professor, and then send a thesis proposal for him/her to go through. That's it majorly.
Take note though, they are very blunt people, and if your proposal isn't up to par, they'd state it without fear, I once had a potential supervisor (before I was told it was unnecessary) tellmevia email that my research proposal was boring and had nothing that would interest him PR the academic community nor would it add to the body of knowledge. Just make sure you're above standard and contact them. That's it.
