@maziude and yemdogg and other members of the house should please help this guy

blizz411:
Kindly assist guide me. I graduated with 2.1 mech engineering 2011 and have been working with the bank since 2014. I intend to run a masters programme in Canada. Is it convenient to switch to MBA because of my banking experience since i am in business development or continue M.eng in mech engineering?

Which will be an easier process for me?

horluwahseye:
Thanks, I was told to reply to the address above.... No address found dere other than the Gmail address of the Canadian embassy

Why would CIC use a gmail account? hope someone is not trying to pull a wool over your eyes? Anyway just reply the mail CIC used in informing you of the misrepresentation

maziude:
Boss,
What I am saying is, your friend will be in the best position to provide details of his profile for proper suggestions to be made.

For example, you said he works in a bank, what is his function? Full time or contract staff? Marketing or customer service? Etc... these are some of the items he needs to provide.

Moreover,I don't think 2 years in the bank will be enough reasons to switch to MBA in the eyes of the VO, but then you never know.

If it is Msc/Meng, he should provide his B.eng grade, so we can further advise him, what to do in terms of applying and securing funding. Even if he has his own fund, an extra fund wont kill.

The bottom line is, if he is on this thread, he can get information immediately and even ask questions on the go... it is a win for him.

Just my opinion though...

Thanks so much

maziude:
Hello boss,

Is it possible for your friend to come here and give his full profile? That way it would be easy to help him. Passing a message through you to him will generally lead to loss in content.

Just like I mentioned earlier he's been working in the bank since he finished Youth Service. I don't see why there will "lost of content" in suggestions that would be made. it's basically telling him the suggestions of members of the house.

Hello house, a friend needs advice on this: He has a B.Eng in Mechanical Engineering (2011) but has been working in a bank since 2014. He intends to apply for a masters degree programme in 2018. should he go for an MBA or M.Eng?

yemdogg:
Now, you are going to tailor your sop and profile towards your professional (Engineering) contribution to the firm. Make it look like, your partner handles the business why you handle the technical stuffs in the company. Ensure to paint the company as an organisation that deals in products particularly from the Oil and Gas sector and probably render some engineering services. Let the VO know that it is your proficiency as an engineer that you bring to the table, while your partner handles the business. Your sop should address this part.

Thanks a billion

yemdogg:
The problem is largely due to the fact that the VO doesn't see him as a genuine student. Haba you just joined your friend in business and you even went as far as providing evidence of the existence of the business and all of all sudden, you drifted away from the business and decided to pursue a Master’s degree. I might be inclined to align my thoughts on this with that of the VO. Your business according to you is a growing concern, ordinarily, an average man would at this point when his business is gathering momentum be inclined to focus more on his business rather than pursuing an academic exercise. If you're doing otherwise, then something is fishy, and the VO might have been confused as to your agenda in Canada. What is even more is that you could have pursued the program in Nigeria where you could easily monitor your business growth. In short your agenda is unclear to the VO and from my little experience about Canadian Study permit, these VOS loves clarity and anything slightly unclear to them will most likely be resolved against the applicant.

Now below are what the VO must have thought about you:

He didn't believe that your business is a growing concern as you've painted it to be, otherwise, why would you want to pursue an academic exercise at this point when your business is gathering momentum? Am sure you must have stated in your application form that your current activity is business, flowing from this, anything you do should have been business inclined. Infact, in this regard or context, a pgc or diploma in business would have been more sellable than a M.eng. At least it's quite related to your current activity. The funny thing is that you must have overwhelmingly talked about your business in an attempt to use it as hometie not being conscious of the lack of relationship it has with your proposed program.

My advise, if you intend to scale through, omit the business in your next application. At best, you can just mention your position in the firm or company perhaps as an engineering consultant. But the moment you state that you're a partner in the business, then a VO may find it hard to comprehend the relevance of your M.eng degree to your career in Business. As far as the VO is concerned now, you're a confused person who doesn't know what he wants ultimately. When it comes to study permit, you must choose a career path and stick by it no matter what. You have the duty to be consistent throughout your application.

@Austipee4, I read your recommendation and that of @MichV, They're quite compelling, I sincerely hope @willyboss takes the hint.

Pls take this hint.

CC @willyboss

My fear/concern is; will the VO not review my previous application and notice I filled in business before and that I was a partner in the business?

EJIZY:

Your swift assistance will be highly appreciated.

Austinpee4:
What year exactly did you stop working as a piping draughtman/designer to partner in your friend's business?

December 2014, did a PGD in Process Piping Design and Engineering in 2015 then joined my friend's petroleum business March 2016

I need GCMS notes please...somebody help!

@michV and wealth360 please your opinion is needed

Eraytee:
Why are you sceptical to say the type of business bro, com out of your shell fully so that people can proffer help, business can be anything, even a yahoo boy go tell u say na business hin dey do. So what type of business are you doing with your friend?

I mentioned it when I quoted @emeify above

SamReinvented:
This evidence that you submitted, does it include the following? Prove of registration and legal operation (CAC certificate, tax clearance, etc); a legal document that establishes your claim of partnership, clearly defining your stake in the business; the company's statement of account, to represent the size of it and its worth.
If not, what exactly are the evidence that you submitted?

Yes I included these documents

Eraytee:
Bro I'll say it again if that business of yours/friend is not inline with your proposed course of study bearing in mind ur previous experience is just 10months. The said purpose of visit will surely be coming up.

How do I tackle this PLEASE?

Adefolakemi:
Sorry about the delay. If you finished from uni in 2011 which is about 6 years ago and you have 10 months working experience in your field, i am guessing you have been doing this business with your friend for almost 4 years. I think the VO believes that you should be interested in furthering your studies to improve your business and not your undergraduate course.
This is just my thoughts. I don't really know so much.

I finished Youth Service 2013, started working 2014 and only joined my friend's business March 2016

emeify:
What is the nature of the business? Did you show enough funds and ties to Nigeria?
And what was the 'exact' reason for the delay

The business is sale of petroleum products, I showed enough funds and ties to Nigeria(members of my family are all in Nigeria and I provided assets and).
The VO stated that he/she is not "CONVINCED" that I would leave Canada on completion of my programme and ticked only "PURPOSE OF VISIT"

Ejaloni123:
On a second thought, did you document this your friend's business during the application?

Yes I did.

Eraytee:
its well, your profile seems good to me, refusing you on purpose of visit alone still keeps me wondering anyways. GCMS note would point it all out. this visa thing is now beyond your course being related to your previous academics/work experience... what else do they want? when you dont av financial issue. its well

My brother I was baffled when I saw it. I am thinking it's an oversight on the part of the vo. still trying to get my head around it.

Ejaloni123:
How many years have you spent on the job? When did you finish your undergraduate degree? Perhaps, that might give an insight into the problem.

I graduated 2011 and worked as a piping draughtsman/designer for about ten months. I am currently in partnership with a friend in his business(I provided evidence of this in my application)

Genius000:
Who needs GCMS notes?

I can help you apply from my end and you pay only $5. Just quote me if interested don't PM.

My own way of giving back to the house.

Canada is sweet ooo just that you need to develop yourself before coming here.

A goat in Nigeria will not become a lion here.

Seems Spouse Open Work Permit is the deal here any single lady? ( let me come to Nigeria and marry you.

The research here is not easy oo I need to review over 200 papers. My supervisor weak me God dey sha.

I don't do PMs for now just post your question and quote me il take it up when I am chanced.

Cheers.

I need GCMS notes

Eraytee:
Sorry for the delay, share your profile as regards ur UG, work experience, and proposed course of study. Guys here would be able to proffer solution as to what to do to tackle it, but all in all order for your GCMS file.

I have shared/included my profile. thanks

Please house I need advice on this: My application was refused on PURPOSE OF VISIT because the vo wasn't "convinced" I would leave Canada on completion of my programme. In my application I included my assets and that members of my family are in Nigeria. I am not married. my purposed course of study is in line with my undergraduate degree. how do I CONVINCE the vo that I would leave? I thought I had that covered already.

UG: Mechanical Engineering(2011)
Finished NYSC: 2013
Intended course of study: Mechanical Engineering (M.Eng)
Work Experience: worked as a piping draughtsman/designer for about ten months(2014) but currently in partnership(since March 2016) with a friend in his business(I provided evidence of this in my application)

Austinpee4:
Oh... Didn't see your mail o. Kindly resend.

Google is your best friend in this matter

Feistyoly:
Hi, good evening everyone. Please I'll like to be guided on some areas pertaining to obtaining Canadian student visa.

I'm interested in doing my LLM in Canada and I would appreciate some suggestions as to Universities, their requirements and tuition range and also the whole process of applying for visa and the documents I would need.

Thanks a lot.

goodnews1111:
I thought cases are being attended to on a first come first serve basis. How come someone who applied 28 march is receiving medical mail b4 someone who applied 1st march?

Let's wait till tomorrow. Hopefully medical mails will start rolling in

I thought the military claimed to have killed this man. is he now a cat with nine lives? #justsaying

taiwo92:
Good morning guys please I applied to UNB last month and the ever since then have not heard from them. please when do they usually send offer. thanks

Check your account and find out what your status reads. has your official transcript gotten to UNB and hope your referees have all sent in their referee's forms?

tobyharwe:
I have thought deeply on how I can explain to the vo that I will be leaving Canada after my education without lying, but the only idea that came to me is for me to declare in a written document that I will leave at the end of my education and to notarize or swear an affidavit for it.

Who thinks this will work?

All you have to do is to let the vo know that your family members are all here in Nigeria and that you have no relation over there in Canada. If you have assets you could include it too

aliACCA:
