Is your program a masters program or any of these programs that are eligible for OAPs since the change of the policy? If no, was the application submitted after the change of the policy last year? If yes, then you will need serious prayers because alot of renewal of SOWPs for ppl in this category i mentioned above have had their SOWP applications rejected apparently due to them not being eligible.

Boss please can you help with reviewing my SOP?
How can I reach you please.

Hello House,

I am in sort of a Dilemma.

I currently have 3 years experience in IT ranging from Frontend development, Technical Support and System Administrator.

I also have a Bsc in Biochemistry, I have 2 dependants as well (wife and kid).

Majorly, I had always wanted to study an IT related course in Canada but it has been difficult finding a masters course in IT of 16 months that can make me move with my family. Found one at Carleton University but i was denied admission, it made me settle for a course in Management in Healthcare at Trent University and I got admitted.

Now I am not happy about it as the reviews i have been seeing online about it not been lucrative and also this is like a setback for my career.

What should i do? Should I apply for study visa and find my path back to IT after school or just keep applying elsewhere, I am fed up I have spent money on the school, sent them transcript and want to deposit tuition soon.

I need advise, tired and fed up of the whole thing.

Guys please help me oh
I have been trying to do NIN for my toddler since beginning of the year.
We are unable to get him to take the right picture during the registration.

I am in Shomolu,Lagos if you can help us please.

I look forward to response

Hello House,

I am seeing one can move with dependants to UK on a research masters.

Does it still make sense to migrate to UK with wife and kid?

I am also waiting on admission from a university in canada.

Advise is needed.

Thanks in advance.

Hello House,

Please oh I am unable to do NIN for my 1yr old.

He has been proving so difficult to the process, he doesn't stay well to snap.

Please help on how I can do NIN for him.

thanks in advance.

Hello everyone

My Samsung tv is flickering/showing jumping display like
Shown below.

My location is Shomolu, Lagos.

If you are a professional and can fix this kindly let me know.

Hello Chief

Just switch to another network, that is what I did too as i was always experiencing this.

geekybabe:
30k is a lot. You have not even factored in cost of daily living, rent, feeding and all. Finding a job is not that simple.
Even a salary earner with a full time job can hardly save that 30k annually on a 80k salary.

Tired at this point, I can't seem to find a cheaper course in masters.
This is because I want to move with family.

ednut1:
You cant afford it. Plus there are no guarantees you will be able to save that tuition or even get a job in 6 -12 months.

Majority of the people with PR or citizenship earning over 100k have not saved 30k this year.

I dont know why people are hell bent on this expensive study visa route that has casted when there is french and PNP route 😪

what is the French and PNP route, is that PR?

Hello guys,

I don come again oh, I found a masters course in IT at Carleton university but the tuition is 30k cad yearly for 2 years.

It aligns well with all my asks but the downside is it expensive.

Now I can source for the first year and my brother wants to help me with POF for a year.

I want to know if it feasible for I and my spouse to get a job to pay the second year fee.

and I hope we don't have to show POF for 2 years.

Please advice and input needed.

MarksmanD:
Maybe you should consult with more licensed agencies. Or search for schools you're interested in and write to their admission office asking if you can be admitted to your preferred study program. If you don't see your preference, then maybe you should try other countries because you can only get a Spousal open work permit in Canada if your master's study program is at least 16 months long.

Thank you boss I really appreciate

MarksmanD:
You have been asking this same question for a month now. Some people have done their best to answer your questions to the best of their knowledge. Maybe we don't have the answers you seek here. And probably you need to pay a licensed RCIC agent to give you the answer you seek.

My brother Im tired too.
I contacted an agency and I had settled for health sciences then they said it thesis based and they do not advise I apply for that then they gave me option for project management, Masters in health management and they are not something I like.

I really am tired

Good day everyone I have dropped several comments here and I am still stuck.

I need help in choosing a course ( IT preferably or Healthcare) in Masters, I have BSC in Biochemistry and cumulative 2/3 years experience in Technical support (Azure), system administration and Frontend.

It has to be masters cause I intend to move with wife and kid.

Lekiboboe Can you please help.?

Anybody can help too

Thank you all in advance.

JMG12:

Thank you i will look at this.

Good Morning Everyone,

I am stuck in finding a suitable course for 2 years Master's degree.

I have Biochemistry degree and about 3 years experience in IT.

I need to find a course in IT that will accept me without a computer science degree.

Thanks in anticipation.

MarksmanD:
Hello sir/ma, you have asked this question for the past few days and no one has replied to you. It's not all questions people answer on this platform. Once most people get their visas or a rejection, they forget about this thread. Most of the advice you'll receive here regards to your visa application based on our experiences. You might be lucky to receive an advice from someone who has applied to your institution.
As long as you're not using an agent, then you'll have to do most of your research yourself. Also, you don't have to depend on Nairaland alone for your questions, you can check canadavisa.com. YouTube is also a very rich resource platform. Join OJC Telegram group.
There's no question you have regarding Canadian immigration, that an Indian hasn't answered on the Internet. You'll also have to join Indian forums. Good luck.

Thank you so much for this I really appreciate it 🙏

Please everyone who has heard about international business university here?

Zyzman:
Good Morning Everyone,

I have a quick question.

I am seriously considering studying MBA in information systems and Management at International Business University, Canada.

I want to ask if anyone has attended that school here, I need honest opinions.

They are kind of the only university that offers masters in an IT related course that matches my available requirements, as most universities require a BSc in computer science which I don't have, I have BSc in Biochemistry.

It also ticks the box of PGWP and been able to bring in my spouse too.

What is holding me down is I need to get reference letter from my workplace to prove my work experience in IT but I just joined them and in January i will be confirmed hence that is when I can get the letter from them.

I also want to know if there are other IT course (Masters) in other universities that I can consider.

Hello guys please someone should answer me.

To add i also heard toronto is expensive

Hello I have sent a mail to you via nairaland mailing.

JMG12:
This is Nova Scotia Community College, people who are registered to college program are not qualify to bring their spouse on SOWP.

Thank you, Can you please recommend a course for masters and a university as well.

I am also thinking that since I do not want to study anything related to Biochemistry (my school discipline) and most Master IT courses requires Computer science degree, DO you think My wife that studied Biochemistry as well should just do a masters in health course and I be the spouse on sowp with our 1 year old kid on VV.

Please house your input is required, as this means I will have to get marriage cert and also her BSC cert from her school and passport for both of them.

I am interested and does my aforementioned degree or work experience meets the requirements?

Are there more options for courses I could apply to?

More affordable options if possible?

Please let me know

JMG12:
You should apply to a program that aligns with your work experience and look at the list of courses with a long-term shortage of jobs before applying for a program. Do your research on the University or College.

Bobomaigida:
Depending on your class of 1st degree, you can look for course in data analytics, data science and computer related programmes, check mastersportal dot com or use google to look for, you will see various options and then you can check the tuition and duration of the programme.

Thank you so much boss I really appreciate your prompt response.
Tried to check but I am seeing 53,000 cad for Applied computing in British Columbia institute of technology.
I would appreciate if you can mention one of two courses with universities that are affordable.
