#singing You made a way
When our backs were against the wall
And it looked as if it was over
You made a way
And we're standing here
Only because you made a way
You made a way
You move mountains
You cause walls to fall
With your power
You perform miracles
There is nothing that's impossible
And we're standing here
Only because you made a way
Don't know how but you did it
Made a way

God is been awesome, I got a mail from cic last night telling me I have a new message and I should check it (cos I linked my paper application online) and the message was my correspondence letter saying my study permit has been approved.
GOD IS TRULY AWESOME. So much tears of joy. He is never late, He is always on time. Thank you Lord
Would share my profile soon.
I really want to appreciate @mikymiko, you were my God sent angel on nairaland, you encouraged me and assiated me every step of the way. God truly truly bless you. It would definitely end in praise for you. Also thanks to @igbouwanile, @folaroyal, @osemigho and every other person on this forum

September 2017.
If I had a cash flow of 20m, I wouldn't bother but that's not the case, hence the reason for my question.

Osemigho:
Which semester are you going for?

Is your account active before the deposit? A deposit of 1m in an active account of 20m is nothing.

All the best.

Hello friends,

Hello house, I want to know if its all police stations that give police clearance certificate or just some designated ones,also how much does in cost ?

Oga mi sir, no go tire oooo! keep mailing them abeg, try to mail some of them more than once - I got response from some profs after the third time of mailing them, it's not a very easy process but you gotta be tenacious bro, "turn a blind eye" to any rejection you might face along the the line because some of them will eventually respond with " sorry...I'm not taking graduate student at the moment bla bla" don't let that discourage you, keep firing, keep redrafting your mail content, focus on profs with your research interest and always remember the "law of probability"

"The more of a thing you try, the higher the chances that one of them would work out"

michaelbelgium:
goodmorning friends....pls western university
applicants....how were you able to apply??....becos
their website does not open on laptop except on
mobile device.
I have written to 3 professors now at university of
ottawa requesting them to be my supervisor...yet no
response....my mail to them addressed my
academic abilities,research work,the professor's
current research interest,and willingness to learn
from him/her..i also attched my
CV,Certificate,project abstract.....i don tire for this
kind package

This is getting more serious than i anticipated #IhateCBN

Folaroyal:
My opinion.... moneyGram would have been your ideal option but all of them engine yaff knock recently... we are in serious problem in this country but not many know this.
Now you can either do a bid through your bank; it might take weeks unfortunately or source USD locally, lodge into a domiciliary account and send.
Another option is to find a "reliable' local money transfer agents up in canada; you pay naira into their account here and they make your payments over there... note, option 3 should be done with people you know of have some confidence in.... risky!

Regards

Good morning,
What's the best way to transfer money to Canada, I've been trying since last week, no luck yet.

Nope.
My supervisor advised I defer it to May, 2017 considering the VISA processing time (15 Weeks), May so that I can have more time to settle in PG, BC before the large cohort of student resume in Sept, 2017. However, I would be applying as soon as my new offer letter is out. Thanks for asking.

Mikymiko:
Vinci, have u submit your study permit application?

You're not required to pay tuition deposit.

expertman:
Sorry man was in rush to type. Yes if they request for tuition deposit and if GRE is needed

I think this great, but please ensure to keep it as concise as possible especially when it's your first mail to them, those guys don't have so much time, kip in mind that hundreds of other graduate students are probably sending them similar mails, so you gotta stand out!.

Riddeek:
The thing is that is not the only thing you are going to be writing, that is in fact the easiest.
Even after a supervisor picks you, when applying formally you will still need to upload your research intent and alao why you want to pursue graduate studies over there.
As for cajoling supervisors, there is no specific format because you have to relate to them as per their research work. But ur first 2 statements matter a lot in deciding whether a prof will continue reading ur msg or just "mark as spam"... Yeah some actually do that.

You can start ur first paragraph like.
Dear Dr. Wang (use appropriate titles, don't use Mr. cuz all faculty members have a title)
My name is Obasanjo Jonathan Buhari, a graduate of the peace-keeping department in University of sambisa, Nigeria. I graduated in September 1684 with a GPA of 4.0/5.0 ( 80%) (this is important, state ur percentage, don't give ur supervisor work to do by analyzing ur result, if he can't see wat he is looking for straight up, chances are that he would just move to the next msg, afterall he receives hundreds of msgs from prospective students).

Send me a mail.

sleekysoft:
Please House, i really need your help anyone who recently got admission for masters can he/she help me with a sample email he wrote which was able to get a supervisor for the person, i need to start writing Lecturers

please

As for GRE that depends on individual department requirements, it's important you contact your desired dept before sending in your application, as for me I didn't submit any test result, although it's been stated that taking GRE facilitate admission decision in some cases. In paying tuition deposit that would dependent on what is started in your admission letter.

expertman:
Sorry man was in rush to type. Yes if they request for tuition deposit and if GRE is needed

English test waiver.

BeingGabriel:
Congrats, man! But, 'waiver' as in..?

If you mean UNBC, yes. However I don't know so much about UBC.

BeingGabriel:
Oh OK. That's fine.

Quick one: UBC stresses on high GPA, right? @vinci500

I'm sorry I don't understand, are you asking if they requested for tuition deposit?

expertman:
Abeg which school did they request for tuition Deposit?

Can't wait bro, I think you should start organizing a welcome party , that's if you're still in PG of course

Gymme:
Congrats bro. Hopefully see you soon in PG.

Great! search for me @SampsonDada

Judgepelumi:
congrats bro... Really happy for you. I already av d telegram. Aw do i add u?

It's okay, i applied for a waiver and they granted it. Yes it's a research based course - MSc Biochemistry. You might also want to request for a waiver, you never can tell....

Riddeek:

By the way, congrats to you

#UNBCJan2017

UNBC...first you've got to work on getting a supervisor!

CapitalCee:
Brother which school did you apply to, I want to also apply for masters in biochemistry.

It's quite unfortunate my program (MSc-BCH) does. I'm more of a Telegram kinda person...install the app if you don't already have and let me know after you've done so! Hope to hear from you soon.

Judgepelumi:
ehya.. but hp u are aware you do not need a supervisor before u can apply now for any prog i think. Text me on whatsapp lets relate more pls 07068491275

Winter oo (January, 2017), thanks for the advice though, i did that yesterday. I eventually wrote IELTS too and passed the required score but i didn't even bother submitting it since twas already waived - wish i could ask for a refund from the British Council .

Judgepelumi:
oh thats nice... I thought abt the waiver too but felt it will be a long thing and wasnt sure if i had the right docs to back it up so i dd toefl and pass d required score. Are you applying for fall/winter? I'd advise u mail d admission ppl to know whats up wif the delay. Mine is till feb bfr i knw my fate.....so long

Initially I was going for MSc - IDIS before I eventually switched to MSc Biochemistry because couldn't get a supervisor on time in the former. I applied for a waiver filled some forms and it was granted and an evaluation form was sent to me, still expecting admission letter though their processing seem to take alot of time (5 Months now).

Judgepelumi:
really? What prog are you going for? And what did you study in ur undergrad? Or did u apply for a waiver? Just wondering aw urs got waived

Masters

Walspring:
Masters or bachelor degree

Can you please help me with some?

Walspring:
They are many and you just need to search for the ones that match your taste..
