How can one forget an important detail like that? Well, the deed has been done. You risk being banned for 3 to 5 years for MISREPRESENTATION. I do not know the way out but someone on this trend suggested to send a mail to the processing centre in Accra, Ghana and hope they forgive your error. I don't know if this works.

Best regards

After registering with DAAD there is a part where you will click international student, from there it will take you to a page where you have several scholarships for different countries. Selecting nigeria will link you up with PTDF, you will then fill your personal details, a form will pop up for u to download. The issue I have is I can't open it on both my PC and phone. The instruction there says only PDF acrobat DC can open it.

can you please send the link here as I am not seeing international student on the page

Hi everyone. Please i need genuine advice on this. I just applied for an msc program in canada but this thread of getting a canada visa is getting me scared coz my situation kinda put me in a tight spot. My husband is working in d USA and i wanna study in canada, also i have being denied a visiting visa to my husband in the US 3times now. My fear now is if this is likely to affect my canada study visa. Please fellow nairalanders how do you see this situation and how possible can it affect my study permit in canada? Thanks

Just answer the "have you been denied visa to any country " question truthfully and you will be fine. It will not affect the visa officers decision on your study permit application.

[quote author=platypelloid post=64096940][/quote]Check out express entry.

capsule:
I did a 5 year course... year one to year 3, I averaged on 3.0 or 3.1. I had 4.2, 3.72 respectively in year 4 and 5, still ended up with a 2:2(3.47). are you implying that this GPA can get me a direct admission for M. Sc?

I really can't say but i know some schools in canada only consider the last two years of study for grade point average

Akfakorede:
Hi
there is a mistake in the "name" in the letter of introduction.
Just a single letter. Letter N instead of M. please what can i do about it?

I can't get another one but it is going to take time and I do not want to be late in submitting my application.
Should i leave it alone? or what can I do.

Also about home ties. I do not have anything to prove strong home ties. Please can you examples.
NB. Program is one year.

@WEIRDPC

About the home tie, I will be sharing an excerpt from a recent frankrobben's post,

"FAMILY TIES IN CANADA OR HOME COUNTRYProspective travellers who were refused with this point wondered why they should have a family in Canada before beinggiven the visa. Note that the full statement is “family in Canada OR family in your home country”. So its either you failed to prove each criterion or both criteria, that is, whether you have family ties in Canada or whether you have family ties to your home country. This is what you do :Show sufficient ties to your home country i.e. what will compel you to return home?

1-) Do you have a spouse and kids(minors) and are you leaving them behind?

2-) Do you have elderly parents who depend on you?

3-) Do you own businesses/property that you need to continue managing?

4-) Do you have adequate funds?

5-) Do you have family members whom are not accompanying youto Canada?All these mentioned are HOME TIES, so if you have any of the following listed, endeavor to show evidence to each of them and make sure you add it to your application"

Also, if you have a job in Nigeria, you can show proof.

Lastly, about the name issue, personally, I do not think it will be an issue, but if you want to do something about it, You can do any of the following ;
1. Do an affidavit to state the spelling error.
2. Write a short letter to explain the spelling error
3. Get a new letter of introduction with the correct name.

Greetings all:

I applied for PDG and submitted my application in June 2017 and not response till December 2017 and was refused. Find below their response:

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

Though i have been working for about 15 years after my degree and have a masters but was advised to apply for PDG. I am reapplying for Sept 2018 intake how do i go about it. Should i go for another masters or PDG?
Thanks

Sorry for the delay. With your years of experience and masters degree, you should join the express entry aspirant. Even if you must go for study permit, why are you not going for PhD to show academic progression. Express entry will be a perfect option for you in my opinion.

Hello guys pls anyone with an idea of a school in canada that takes second class lower bsc students for master. Am studying microbiology in unilorin final year looking for a school to do masters in canada after failing to get visa twice so i decided to finish my current program before trying again.

Your 300 level and 400 level.... do you have an idea of what your CGPA would be in just the last two years of study?

Omakraid:
Thanks a bunch

Please forward the past question to talk2tomiwa94@gmail.com

Akfakorede:
then "funds available for for my stay" section will be 11k cad like that??

Funds available for your study should cover tuition, others and room and board. How much do you have available for your study? that's what you should fill there.

CookieLaVee:
Thank you @WEIRDPC.
I have another challenge. My sponsor is a family friend and I heard it is going to be problematic to present him as my sponsor since he isn't related to me. Please what do you advise?

Someone was recently approved on this trend with a sponsor that is not related. Let him write a letter of support emphasising why he wants to sponsor you. make your tuition payment and collect your living expenses in your personal account. make sure you attach evidences of this transaction. The person must have enough funds to take care of his dependents and himself. you should be fine.

Best wishes

Pleasant afternoon to you all,

I'm 39 years old now, with over 7 years work experience in financial institution, I did my Master degree in UK. I now have MBA admission in Canada, do you think i stand a chance of getting study permit.

Kindly advise.

Sir; You have a good chance with express entry as a skilled worker

@jnyuwa02
@justwise
@WEIRDPC

The sum of the room board and others should be above 10k. you can use room and board 8k. others 4k.

CookieLaVee:
Hello Everyone!
I am very glad to have found this thread at this time. I just made my decision to further my studies in Canada.
I tried using an agent so I called for them.to give me a breakdown of the requirements. Turned out I will have to get the admission myself(Physics), so I just decided to run everything myself.
First I have to decide on a international friendly school(I wish not to pay half of my tuition before getting there as I plan to see myself through school while working there).
Secondly, I heard Canadian student visa is as much as NGN700-800k now, is it true?. If its true, should I go through an agent or should I still process it myself?
Lastly, I am grateful to the mastermind behind this thread and those of you who have shared valuable information. Thank you all.

Study permit application fee is approximately 56k and not 700k
it's better and safer to go through the stress of application yourself.

IstandWitBuhari:
Good evening Boss. please I need clarification from you.

I just received half funding through graduate assistanship from a Prof for PhD. please is there any organization that can complete this funding for me and possibly cover my living expenses?

please is it possible to apply for VISA with half PhD funding ? Thanks

Congratulations on getting a GA. if you want more money, your best bet will be to hit the school website and check for other funding available to international student. if you're qualified, you can then proceed to find out how to apply for it. most of the time, you don't have to apply for a scholarship, you will be automatically considered for it and awarded if you meet the requirement.

capsule:
I thought they mostly request for a 2:1. 3.5/5.0 is an upper in Nigeria, so you are saying he is going to find it difficult?
In my case, I made a 2:2 (3.47/5.0), I have a Master's degree from UI (PhD grade). I want to go do another Masters in Canada, my plan was to follow the pgd path and be silent about the Master's degree, but I learnt winning the war with pgd at the VO's office ain't easy. so should I apply with my msc for another msc? what are my chances please...

Hello,
To show progression in your field, you should go for a PHD since you finished your msc with a high grade. You might even get funding and easy approval if you do things right.

Best wishes.

yinkus8701:
Hi guys, good job going on here.

Please your advice is needed.
I intend to take up a masters program in Computer science. My first degree was computer science too and i have a 2.1, i finished school since 2009 and been working as a customer care exeutive with one of the telecomms company for about 4 years.
My Brother and mother both ready to sponsor, coupled with my little savings of about 2m.
Now my question is this,
1-With a 2.1 qualification, can i seek for admission in a college for PGD, will it not reduce my chances in getting the student visa.

2--The time frame of finishing school and wanting to further now is about 7 years, will that not reduce my chances?
3-- What can i do differently to have high chances of getting admission in selected schools, about 3 of them.

I am very optimistic but im just trying to get more light on this.

1. You have a 2:1 in your undergraduate studies coupled with 4 years experience in your field. why are you not going for MSc. and I think you might stand a chance in the express entry...

2. Nothing to worry about, so far you can explain what you have been doing in the past 7 years.

Akfakorede:
Hi
Please can i submit out a scanned notarized copy of business registration for student visa application.
@WEIRDPC

Yes you can. original documents are not used for application except for statement of account.

LifeIsGuhd:
Just got delayed

Sorry for the delay. There is still hope. Just repackage and refire. You can order for your GCMS note to know the real cause. I also think paying tuition and having the living cost in your account or convertible currency will go a long way. It's only a financial reason denial. Do well to defer your admission if possible.

Thanks. I want to make an enquiry about the Pension fund scheme. talk2tomiwa94@gmail.com

kryz007:
Peeps, kinda new on here... so abeg make una take am surf free with me oo.
Ive applied for a 4yr undergrad program in Bus admin... my dad who is a pensioner is likely to stand as my sponsor but heres the clichè- The SOA i intend to use is a joint account in both our names, although it is a 'healthy account' with a balance avg of around #6m, do i need to get a co sponsor ?

2 He had a business name registered in 2001 as a sole proprietorship but it hadnt commenced business since then... perhaps i may include the cac in my application but is that advisable without a tax clearance certificate to go along with ? I was told the FIRS only issued tax certs to registered 'companies' & LIRS to employees or business individuals... but my dad is a pensioner whos exempt from paying tax. What do i do ? Please advise

3 can i use the survey plans of our landed properties or do i need a c of o ? Thanks.

Our God will uplift us this 2018. Where's the amen somebody

For the first part of your question, check your tuition for one year on your school website, convert to naira and add to 10k CAD , convert to naira, How much is left from the 6mil after you pay tuituon for first year and living expenses, How do you intend to sponsor subsequent years since your dad is no longer working.?
