Bro, thank you for your swift response.
It seems most province are currently issuing PAL to May 2025 intake, and yet to start with September 2025 intake.

Kaykaychizzy:
Thank you bro. It's Fanshawe College Ontario and for May 2025 intake.

Congratulations 🙌🙌
Please which school and what starting date? May, 2025 or September, 2025?

Kaykaychizzy:
Good morning House and happy weekend to you all. My PAL was released yesterday and I'm so happy! Thanks to everyone that gave good suggestions and encouragement. Hopefully soon, I'll give my testimony right here.
Good luck to us all.

Wowooo 💃💃💃💃
Congratulations Bro,
I also got LOA for the Welding Engineering Technician Co-op at CNA because it was my secondary program. A week ago, I got LOA on Power Engineering Technology which was my primary program. Fees paid, offer accepted, and request for PAL submitted. Now waiting for PAL to be issued so that I can proceed to study permit application. I pray we all make it to CNA.... Amen

TabletMan:
Kai... Wahala.

I think my application is somehow like Oliver's own.
I studied mechanical engineering BSC but has already gotten LOA to study Welding Engineering Technician Co-op at CNA.

I just got the LOA two days ago and was already given a deadline to pay 5k cad before the 20th of this month or will lose my admission seat.

At this point, I would advise you go for a 2 years diploma so that your O level will be used as the requirement for admission.

ev4real:
Thank you.
I am looking at a graduate certificate program.
I have applied to Seneca & centennial, they rejected the application due to the grade.

It all depends on the type of credential you are looking for? Be it diploma or graduate certificate program, I think you are qualified with your HND (lower credit)

ev4real:
Good evening all,
Please, I will be needing suggestions on colleges that accept HND (lower credit) for cyber security or any related IT field that would not be more than 1 year.
Thank you.

Thank you for your opinion. I have got some valid points here. I understand that most of the courses in the program were taught during my B. Eng, but I want to consolidate my theoretical knowledge with the technical skills and hands-on practical experience the diploma stands to offer. Secondly, the program offers internship term in the industry which is what appeal to me the most.

technix:
In my opinion, the challenge here is not even the MSc, but your undergrad. Doing power engr tech after a BSc in elect/elect does not show a progression in studies. Most of what you will learn during a power engr tech would have been learnt during your BSc (even more so, with power systems option).

That being said, it's easier to justify doing a diploma after your MSc in control systems. For example, you could claim you want to apply control systems theory to power systems modelling; and before modelling any system, one needs to sufficiently understand how it works. You can then link that back to our power systems challenges in Nigeria, grid instability, controlling smart grids, etc.

Once again, the main hurdle I see here is your previous BSc. Try and see if the diploma would bring you significantly different knowledge (I would advise against mentioning practical skills as the main reason) . Best of luck!

Hello!
Gurus in the house, please comment on this. Your contribution is highly appreciated.

Hello everyone!

Firstly, please I would like to know if it's possible to secure a study permit to Canada for 2 years diploma program after one has completed a masters program in the UK. I did MSc Automation and Control and the delivery didn't meets my carrier objectives because it was more theoretical than I expected. I like hands-on skills and the college in Canada offers that with internship term for practical and industrial experience. I have already received LOA from college to study Power Engineering Technology, first year fees all paid and I am currently waiting for PAL to be issued so that I can proceed on visa application. My first degree back in Nigeria was in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Power System Engineering Option). Please I need some valid points for my SOP to be convincing enough to secure me a study permit. I know some people might say I should not declare my masters to the visa officer but I have done that already to the college while applying for admission. I think the visa officer might be asking what brought me to the UK because I am still there on my post study work visa. I am open to good ideas and suggestions on how to convince the visa officer that my study plans are genuine. Thank you!

Thank you, Bro
I am going for Fall (September) starting date


Good evening bro. Congrats on the achievements so far and your LOA being issued to study in Canada. I'm equally waiting for my PAL to be issued before proceeding for my visa application for May intake.
I believe the gurus in the house will give you great advise on how to go about the SOP. Good luck

Good morning good people!
Please I opt for self service upload on Tls site, now am confused on which category I should upload my ATAS certificate. Please I need a swift response. Thank you and God bless us all.

They responded though so much airtime gone. I had to wait on queue before being attended to. I was on hold for the customer service representative to hook on to the department in charge of TRMS. Get enough airtime in your phone. Your Form A Number and ur account details should be handy while calling them. You need to be patient and let them understand the need to expidite on the process of disbursement for you to meet the deadline.

peterinahG:
Please were they responsive during the time you spoke with the head office? Or they were posting you?

Yes... I actually mounted so much pressure on them. I had been calling the person in charge of TRMS in my local branch. I did also call Zenith Bank head office customer service representative and drop several emails to zenithdirect@zenithbank.com.
Seriously I disturbed both the Head Office and my local branch I chosed.
I believe urs I will soon go through immediately after the public holiday.

Preshila:
Please when did you apply? And did you mount pressure on them? Mine is 3weeks already and nothing.. I am just tired and my deadline for payment have already passed. Na appeal I just dey appeal to my school to hold on for me.

I have just done that but do you think there is a research statement for 1 year taught masters?
Though am patiently waiting for their response.
Thank you for your time.

fatee2000:
Okay , then send a message to your school asking for the research statement

I have been given go ahead to apply for the ATAS certificate in my offer letter. The CAH3 code for my course and programme leader as my supervisor are all stated on my Offer Letter. I was referred to the school website for the course modules. I didn't copy and paste the course modules, I typed it on the space provided in the application form. The school hasn't said I will be given any ATAS clearance letter prior to when they want to apply for ATAS certificate. There is no such information both in the Offer letter or the school website.

fatee2000:
I think it’s because you copied and pasted the modules from the website, the school is supposed to send you a separate letter (aside from your offer letter) on the information required for ATAS. So if you didn’t get that letter, send a message to your school requesting for it. Most schools don’t release this letter until May because that’s when they’re able to confirm the modules for the next start year.
This is my experience, My course of study requires ATAS so all the schools that I applied to that gave me offer sent me the ATAS Clearance letter except 2 schools who said they’ll send this month once the modules have been confirmed.

Good morning and happy new month to everyone.
I commend you all for the good work you people are doing here.

Please, I have issue with my ATAS certificate application which I need your candid opinion and advice.
Firstly, I got a mail from atas@fcdo.gov.uk few days after I had submitted my application which I was asked to login that there are fields that need changing. The highlighted field was on "What will you be studying" under Proposed Study section. Here we are required to list out the elective modules of the course or the core modules if there is no elective module. I had listed the core modules and some of its components I got from the school website since there is no elective module for my course. So I was wondering what could be the issue when I got the mail. I immediately edited what I filled initially by listing just only the core modules available to my course in the school website and resubmitted the application.

Just when I was expecting the ATAS certificate after 21days of the application, I got another mail still on "What will you be studying". This time the statement reads:
"Please provide research statement for this course given by the university. If you have not received a research statement please contact your university's admission team".

Please, am I supposed to be given a research statement for a one year taught masters course? I got an offer for a taught masters not research masters and there is nothing like research statement on my Offer Letter. I am 100% sure that I selected taught student when completed the ATAS application form. I think there is a mix up somewhere. Please what should I do now though I have written them stating clearly that I will be studying a taught masters which I was not given research statement. Am bothered because I takes about 15 working days for them to respond to mails concerning the fact that my POF is in progress. I need the ATAS certificate alongside my POF to request for CAS by the end of the month. Should I send in another application for ATAS certificate?
Please what should I do to this regard because I desperately need the certificate before my POF mature?
Sorry for the long episode.
Thank you for your swift response.
God bless you all.

Mine took barely 3 weeks with Zenith Bank. U will be charged another ₦5000 when the money is finally disbursed to the school making it a total charge of ₦13,225. Make sure you go to any Zenith Bank branch closer to you and request for ur Telex. Zenith Bank doesn't issue softcopy of the Telex, they only give hardcopy.

jamilkb:

Ibukune:
Hello. The form A I initiated for my wife using my own UBA account was minuted for rejection due to incomplete documentation. What should be my next step of action. Could it be atttibruted to using my account for her payment?

Just ₦57,800 if you are going for the test for the first time. ₦8,500 is for someone who had done the test and want the certificate reissue for one reason or the other.
So you are meant to pay just ₦57,800.

Notime0112:
Morning, house please I am about to pay for my Tb test I saw payments for 57,800 and 8,500 for certificate reissue, am I to pay both or just #57,800.

thebossagain:

My question ❓ is the correspondence bank madontry to fill or we should leave it .

Please can a domiciliary account be used considering its card limit for one to paid both IHS and visa application fee? For instance, Access Bank Domiciliary Account Card.
Thank you for your response.

Gloriyah:
You pay in dollars with your card,open a domiciliary account or ask someone that has one to pay for you.

Okay..... But if the IHS and visa application fees exceed the card limit, please which other way can one comfortably make the payment?

DuBooVay:
Be sure to check the limits of any card you have with your bank

Please, u mean IHS and visa application fees can be paid using Domiciliary (US Dollar) account?
Thank for your response.

AlphaUno:
Money in the account used for paying IHS and visa fee could only be enough for the main applicant on Friday. Thereafter, the account was funded on Monday and dependants applied

Paid with a US card

Pls, if someone has been debited for Form A since 5th April but up till now Telex hasn't been received. Does that mean the deposit has been remitted to the school?

Thank you for your swift response.

kazmaxdsd:
Same thing going on with my brother's payment. Yeye account officer not picking calls for more that a week, and not replying chats. Forming busy. Until I called a friend who's a staff of GTB, who now called the account officer and in under a week, the money was debited yesterday, waiting for Telex... you can reach me on 08165381808

I think u need to contact them through mail for correction.
