Hmmmm, this your caip file contain wella o.
1. lets analyse what the V.O meant by "PA's career history" what is your employment history like?
1a.@age 40, what have you been involved in since finishing your undergraduate study?
1b. Any education or career gap? if any, did you explain what you've been doing during those period?
Another thing the V.O will likely consider is "why going for PGC/D at that age", what have you been doing since your B.sc degree? A very good and well-detailed employment history and proof of various certifications will do justice to that. Because at that age, one should be thinking of either Phd or career advancement of such.
2. "personal circumstances and family composition"
2a. I don't know what your personal circumstances as probably contained in your S.O.P/L.O.E/L.O.I/ are, but permit me to ask the following questions
2ai Are you married?
2aii Do you still have parents?
2aiii Do you have siblings?
2aiv who is your sponsor and how is s/he related to you? a family? if you're self sponsored, thats okay.
3 "The expenses related to proposed study and the reasonableness of undertaking these studies in Canada"
3a. I think the V.O is trying to see why you're not making the decision of studying this course in Nigeria which will save you more cost rather than opting to going to Canada to study the course which will obviously cost you much money.
How did you try to convince the V.O as to why you choose to study this course in Canada? have you checked various institutions in Nigeria that are offering this particular course and the reason why you feel going to Canada will be better than studying it in nigeria?
*hint- 1. compare course outline for the course as it is offered in canada with what is obtainable in nigeria, if there is any variation, cite them
2. Because of advise from a friend or senior colleague that has took that course outside the country and advising you base on what is obtainable in the outside world as compared to the case in nigeria====my 2cent.
4. "After consideration of the information provided, i am not satisfied that proposed studies in canada make sense given insufficient information on how proposed studies would improve career prospect to a degree that would offset cost of studying in canada instead of pursuing programs available in country of residence"
4a. Hmmmmm, to the bolded, you have to justify the relationship between HRM and your undergraduate course and how it stand to benefit you career wise.
*My humble opinion

lovetrumps:
I am so deflated again now. My childs application has passed processing time, I sent them an inquiry mail which they have not responded too and the only thing which has just changed in his status is the medical review.

dogice:
No bro, I only downloaded the form for you online.

legendary4luv:
my observations though, it seems everyone here is going to canada for school because am yet to see anyone applying for resident visa here, is it possible get resident visa with student visa? please bear with me if I sound out of line because I want to live In canada but I don't want to go through student visa

advanceDNA:
If Canada is ur only aim...Simon Fraser University or Victoria University charges around 5480cad ..excluding application fee of around 147 to 156 cad...but u also need toefl or ielts for both schools...their 2017 entry application is still open...

.From my personal statistics of student I helped in processing admission,Science courses, language courses, and education management are quite easy...MBA is usually kinda wierd cos lots of peeps applying for MBA usually are not in the management line...but the truth of the matter is ur undergraduate course /CGPA and personal statement will speak a lot for you in wateva course u apply for.

But also try and make sure ur undergrad study course is very related to ur post grad application it helps like garri and cold water in a hot Sunday afternoon...if not u need strong work experience relevant related to the Masters or pdg course u r applying for so u don't waste application fee, it's usually unrefundable.

I made an application for a dude that graduated with BSC in chemistry and has been teaching mathematics for 7yrs...he wanted an MBA so as to expose him to more senior managemnt job opportunities, weda he decides to come back to naija or not....I advice him to chose an MSC in chemistry, environmental management ..or education or juvenile management since he was dealing with Student and lecturin...but he refused....
eventually portsmouth University denied him on grounds that his background knowledge isn't gonna equip him for his choice of course neither is his work experience relevant.

dreeyy:
Almost all of US schools require GMAT/GRE, in fact, writing the exam brighten your visa chances coz us vo places great emphasis on it. Find out more on USA thread.

uso84:

miella:

BETTER THE ANGEL U KNOW THAN THE DEVIL U DONT.

Riddeek:
undergrad or postgrad?
If undergrad, then the below does not apply to you.
For post grad studies, pls forget abt all these nonsense talks (sorry for the harsh word here ) abt one course having better prospects for now. Just choose the one that will make you get TRV. A lot of people are being denied daily based on course mismatch so it will be good to learn from others mistakes.

You did chem eng in undergrad? Just go for chem eng in masters
You did IT/computer science/ software eng in undergrad? Go for IT stuff.

Then when you get to canada, CIC will no longer be a problem and you can have a say in your life by changing sch and course and even program if you still wish to do so, by simply notifying them.
For now, just play safe. Play by the rules.

Now to answer your question after all my unnecessary rant, IT pays better, depending on your skills and there is just no end to IT jobs in a developed world.

mikrizz:
Yes,What course do you wish you had studied while in the University and why?

nelly28:

Are you going to start explaining how your life started on earth....

Either of them is okay, depending on your case.

ebimila:
Hello,

Please has anyone here applied for a masters in law at Uni of saskatchewan or other universities with moderate tuition? I want to apply straight now for a masters though i have a 2.2. This is pending the outcome of my gcms notes for visa refusal of HR PGC. Was of the opinion that getting admission for a masters may not fly because of the grade but perhaps i should give it a try. i want to know what it entails, whether or not a research paper is compulsory requirement. Your advice will be most appreciated. God bless!

Folaroyal:
My post was just an advise... It depends on individuals to make or not to make use ... If relevant!
I will advise again that; before submission.. we should sit as a VO and analyse/review out applications ourselves.. being very objective.... It could help! There are loads of applications that we on the thread (not VOs) won't even approve. Guys, let's take full advantage of this thread.... really helpful.
Regards

Univerity of new brunswick

ebimila:
that should be university of new brunswick...so they take 2.2 also?

ebimila:
i understand but for someone with a law background there arent too many options when it comes to applying for a pgc/d (in terms of closely related programs). i would have gladly applied for a masters program out rightly but for my grade. However, i saw somewhere along the thread that its possible to get univeristies that may accept 2.2 for llm program though few. Thats why i am reconsidering whilst still pursuing the pgc.

penitential:
You need not to write GRE, you will get admission into UNB and UOIT with your C.G.P.A. am sure of UNB, just that their admission letter may not come too soon but you will surely get it before may 2017.
Shalom.

Folaroyal:
