Got into Uni Waikato for PhD in Management. Hope to commence in April. Just applied for my visa. Any one in Hamilton?

Can you please guide me on how you applied for your visa. Are you in New Zealand now?

Peaceful123:
Congratulations on your admission.

Try to explore the NZ immigration website, it is very detailed. I will advice you digest the content on the website and ask questions base on aspect that is not clear to you.

The website is very detailed

Do you suggest I apply alone first before bringing my dependents?
(We applied as a family for Canada and was denied)

CalabarSamurai:
- Find a school.
- Find a supervisor.
- Research on their field(s) of interest.
- Contact the supervisor.
- Present the supervisor with your proposed PhD thesis or if you prefer to work on their subject area.
- If they agree to supervise you then...
- Contact the school to get their agents in Nigeria, if they have any, for the school application.
- Contact the agent and they will take it off from there.
- All the best.

Which portal should I use to apply for Study Permit. I intend applying for my husband and children too.

Is it the old or new portal? Please provide the link if possible.

Please has anyone applied to university of Alberta the fall of 2025. Please any update. Because my application is still showing pending on their website

I submitted my application to Alberta since November 2024, no response yet. I reached out to the graduate advisor and he said that their decision is usually made around late March/early April.

Please, I would appreciate your honest opinion. I’ve received two MSc offers: one from Carleton University (Migration Studies, which includes a graduate assistantship offer and $4,000 in funding) and another from the University of Manitoba (Peace and Conflict Studies, 6,500. No Graduate assistant offer). Based on factors like location, cost of living, and overall experience, which university would you recommend I choose? I plan to move with my husband and children.

cheers.

I have sent email request to you severally but no response yet. Please, can you reach out to me? winnyojiego1@gmail.com

VISA APPROVED
Appreciation to everyone who has provided information previously that guided me on this path.

Got my offer of place in June 26th precisely. The dollar rate actually affected my already saved funds, so it delayed my process.

I applied for my visa September 14th it was a group application, my wife and two kids.
A week after application I got an email requesting I submit my research abstract and filled the form 1200.

October 12th my wife got an email requesting she proved we've been living together that they are already satisfied that we have a genuine relationship. They gave a 26th October as the deadline to provide this.
I went to the local government where we live and got a Domicile letter and we also added some documents like invoices carrying our address from the company she usually get her toiletries, pictures of our first and second daughter naming ceremony in our residents with family and friends, although we've provided similar pictures during the application.

She responded to the email same day which was 13th October on a Friday and on Tuesday 17th our visa landed .

Documents submitted
Proof of fund: I used a fixed deposit certificate
Proof of employment: I'm an entrepreneur, I submitted my CAC documents, 5 years Annual returns receipt from CAC, recommendation letter from a federal university I've worked for commending my company (I run a solar company), clients reviews, memorandum of understanding I entered with top leading microfinance bank with sole aim to sponsor anyone interested in acquiring solar in their homes, 6 months bank statement of my company showing transactions (I banked with a microfinance bank), my NYSC certificate, and CV.

Education: I submitted my bachelor's and master's degree certificate and transcripts.

For my wife: She's a professional banker, I submitted all her employment letters (3), nysc certificate, and CV.

Other documents: marriage certificate, wedding pictures, numerous WhatsApp chat conversation I had with my wife relating to our family, pictures when we had our first baby, Xmas pictures when we went out to with our kids, birthday picture of our first daughter with both of us, chat conversation when my wife was asking me to get baby food for my little daughter with date.

Family ties: nothing much here, I don't have any landed property. I only presented a picture I took with my mum and dad, and I already stated I'm the only son of my parents.

Reason to return back to Nigeria: I presented My company as my treasure, with my bank statement already shown and the partnership my company entered with a microfinance bank, I will definitely come back. I stated I have few staff with their names and information in my cover letter, they will be the one running the company in my absence. Although, they are great guys and I trust them (just two of them).

My cover letter: this was a long one, since I won't be there when my application is been reviewed, I made sure I explained in details and be convinced that there won't be any question regarding my genuine intention to study and gave a good reason why I'm coming with my wife and 2 kids. It was a long letter (9 pages )

Men and brethren, I was in doubt if my application would be approved, but I and my wife prayed endlessly, especially using a fixed deposit from a microfinance bank, No landed property and many more. God came through and helped me.

Application duration was exactly 33 days.


My program: PhD in mechanical engineering, Auckland university of Technology.

Thank you all and God bless you.

If you're in this process or planning to apply, make sure all your documents are GENUINE and PRAY.

Congratulations! Please, can I send you an email for guidance? Did you join any Whatsapp group for direction and extra motivation or you got everything from their website?

I am also interested. Have you seen any group on that please?
Please any genuine Whatsapp or telegram group for new Zealand please[/quote]

deebrainbox:
how is it that only you has done the assessment. something they rescheduled?

Did mine but had a little challenge submitting

I am through with the assessment. I wrote mine between 10am to 10:30am.
I experienced a glitch as I tried to submit (an error message popped up). I emailed them to lay my complaints and they assured me that my answers were successfully submitted. They also apologised the technical error/glitch I experienced as it was from them.

Hmmm.. What if he was killed to cover up a lie

Nice

This story is fake ooo. Fr Mbaka did not declare his support for Atiku. Let us desist from spreading false information. They should have posted a video as an evidence.

That is not a Catholic Church. It's an Anglican church

I'm yet to understand the essence of most of these beauty pageants.

Ok

I'm still looking for the "stylish" landing

TSTV is here to stay. Let's all be patient.

I pray they resolve their dispute peaceful and come back together.
