Graduate Certificate in Information Technology Professional Programme at Lambton College. A very good one if you have the cash as most the job prospect is off the hook.

Will advice you go in the Summer so as to be able to enjoy your visit.
I am used to KLM or BA . . . I am not saying others are not good, but i just enjoy their service
If you really wanna save money, fly to Toronto and finish the rest of the Journey using a Bus with that you would see a lot of good scenery, if you are the type that enjoy nature.

@jaga jaga, i'm afraid there is no vacancy, infact to compound the whole issue my boss just laid off some of our sales rep, just keep following your application, if your package is well arranged you will surely get the admission if you meet their requirement which i think you should. is Norway still doing this their free tuition stuff?
Re: Travelling To Canada by ayoalade(m): 7:17pm On Feb 15, 2011
@ Olamilec, there are many other universities across Canada that you can explore. The problem is that most people tend to gravitate towards Ontario and part of western Canada. The reality of the matter is if you try Eastern Canada, Nova Scotia in particular, the are are many great institution of learning that are world class in comparison. However, the reality of the matter is if you're not a permanent resident or a Canadian, tuition will almost always be expensive no matter where you go as a result of what is known as differential payment. You can offset part of the cost (at least for your living expenses) by working off campus (international students are now allowed to work off campus in some occupations).

Some of the universities out here in the east that you can explore included but not limited to:
Dalhousie Unviveristy - www.dal.ca (one of the best universities in Canada - arts, sciences, medicine, engineering etc)
St Mary's University - www. smu.ca (great for business programs - MBA especially)
St Francis Xavier - www.stfx.ca
Mount Saint Vincent University - www.msvu.ca (a great place to go for Education programs)
Acadia University - www.acadiau.ca
Nova Scotia College of Art and Design - www.nscad.ca
Cape Breton University - www.cbu.ca
Nova Scotia Agricultural College - www.nsac.ca

These are the main publicly funded universities in Nova Scotia.

If you're also contemplating Diploma Programs, you can check out the Nova Scotia Community College - www.nscc.ca

The key thing is knowing exactly what it is you want to do, that way  the choice of institution will be made easier. I should also mention that cost of leaving on the East Coast is not as outrageous as it is in Ontario especially Toronto.

For those that are interested in coming to the East Coast, talk to me, and I can be able to guide you appropriately - canadaforum@hotmail.ca

Re: Travelling To Canada by aocecelle: 3:46pm On Feb 17, 2011
@all, can sum1 give me list of universities in any of the canadian province that offers INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY apart from YORK
Regards
Re: Travelling To Canada by ayoalade(m): 4:16pm On Feb 17, 2011
@aocecelle. When you say Information Technology you've got to be more specific. Moreover, at what level are you considering this degree - undergrad, grad, post-grad. IT is a very diverse vocation.

As listed in my previous post, if you're looking on the East Coast of Canada, I believe you may want to check out Dalhousie University as they offer a few IT based program both at the undergrad and graduate level. And I believe almost all of the other university will offer some form of Information Technology program. Again, it all depends on what you mean by "Information Technology"

Re: Travelling To Canada by goldenval(m): 11:18am On Feb 18, 2011
His quest to relocate abroad and drop the shackles of poverty pushed him to the extreme of desperation. Rasheed Adekola was arrested on Tuesday at the Canadian embassy for submitting 17 fake documents in order to obtain a student visa to Canada, TOYOSI OGUNSEYE reports.





ONE, two, three, four, five…, 17! That was the number of forged documents submitted by Rasheed Adekola at the Canadian Embassy in Lagos in order to obtain a student visa.


That was not his first time. Adekola started applying for the visa in 2009 and had applied four times. Each time he submitted his application materials and was denied, he always returned with more documents to convince the officials at the visa section that he was worthy of it.


It wasn’t as if the officials at the embassy were ignorant of Adekola’s antics from the beginning. In fact, they knew the documents he submitted during his first application were not genuine but they decided to ignore him hoping that he would stop.


A source at the embassy who did not want his name mentioned said that when the embassy gets fake documents, they deny the applicant visa hoping that the person will not bother applying again. “It usually works because they spend a lot of money obtaining the documents and they are usually not eager to spend that amount of money when we turn down their request,” he said.


Adekola was however different. He refused to give up and his application soon became a regular one at the embassy. After he applied the fourth time, officials at the embassy decided that they had had enough of him.


What piqued them the most was that Adekola submitted a certificate of scholarship from the Kano State government. The purported certificate from the Kano government read that Adekola had been given scholarship worth over $80,000 to study business administration at the Acadia University, Canada.


So, they invited him for an interview. When Adekola got the letter of interview from the embassy, he was very excited; that was the first time he was getting a ‘positive’ response from the embassy.


He couldn’t wait to visit the embassy on the appointment day which was last Tuesday. He appeared in his best attire and answered all the questions he was asked with confidence.


The interview however turned sour after the interviewer accused 28-year-old Adekola of submitting fake documents. Initially, he denied the allegation vehemently; unknown to him that the embassy had alerted the police to arrest him.


While he was still denying the allegation, a policeman from the Special Fraud Unit, Milverton, Ikoyi, Lagos, stepped into the interviewing room and arrested Adekola.


The 17 documents submitted by the suspect included a diploma certificate from the National Centre for Economic Management and Administration, a certificate of achievement from KarRox for successfully completing Oracle 10g, a first school leaving certificate from the Lagos State government, a school leaving certificate and testimonial from Abibat Mogaji Millennium Senior Secondary School.


Other data submitted by him were a birth certificate from Mushin local government, notification of result from the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, a scholarship certificate from the Kano State government, a desktop publishing certificate from Omega computer village and identity cards from Federal polytechnic, Ilaro and NCEMA.


Adekola however told SUNDAY PUNCH that not all the documents were forged. According to him, it was one Ibrahim Ogundele that offered to obtain the documents for him at no cost until he received the visa.


He said, “I finished secondary school in 2004 and I have been trying to gain admission into the university since then. In 2006, the Lagos State University offered me admission to study business administration but I did not have money to pay my school fees so I let it go.”


Adekola, who lives with his elder brother and does menial jobs said that Ogundele, offered to assist him to seek for greener pastures outside the country. He said, “Ogundele is like a big brother in our neighbourhood at Shasha. He told me that he has been assisting people to get visas and I decided to try my luck too. Even though he said that he would do it for free, I used to give him money occasionally. From 2009 to date, I have given him N55, 000.”


Adekola further said that he did not know that Ogundele gave him forged papers, “That was why I had the confidence to go to the embassy for the interview. If I knew that they were not genuine, I would not have appeared. When Ogundele said that he was going to help me, I did not know that he would offer me forged documents.”


The suspect stated that only his secondary school and computer skills certificates were genuine. He said, “Ogundele said I should give him all the documents I have because he would need them to procure other documents. I even told him that I was going to the West African Examinations Council to collect my original certificate but he offered to go for me. Unknown to me, what he got for me was not genuine.”


Other documents Ogundele allegedly gave Adekola were a Will that was purportedly written by Adekola’s late father giving the suspect two choice properties in Lagos, a Toyota jeep and Harvestfield Industries Ltd; forged shares certificates from Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc and Oando Plc; forged Lagos state certificates of occupancy, among others.


Adekola, however, told our correspondent that his late father did not bequeath him with any of such properties and that everything was a figment of Ogundele’s imagination.


Adekola will soon be charged to court and made to face the consequences of his actions alone as Ogundele relocated to the United Kingdom last September.

Hello Folks!
Does anyone know any Universities in Canada that do not require the GMAT/GRE for
MBA/MSc (Business/Finance related) programmes.


I'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks.


P.S-- I'm interested in only Universities, and not Colleges.

@ goldenval thanks for the information, I hope this will serve as a good lesson to those that believe they must travel out of the country by all means by providing fake documents. I pray that this would not make the embassy to be too strict on us that want to apply genuinely
Re: Travelling To Canada by ayoalade(m): 12:57am On Feb 21, 2011
@ all, I have decided to answer everyone that has posted some questions on this page, and hopefully this will be of great assistance for you all.

@goldenval, thanks for posting that article. I hope everyone can learn from that and do things the right way.

@aocecelle – there are many institutions offering the programs you have posted here. I’ve done a search of the database of the Association of Canadian Universities and Colleges (www.aucc.ca). The database website search link is http://oraweb.aucc.ca/pls/dcu/dcu_e2?REF_ID=79945203&SORT_BY=1

You will probably be looking at the following institutions based on the result:
Athabasca University – MSc, Information Systems
Concordia University – Master of Information Systems Security and Management
Carleton University – Master of Infrastructure protection and International Security, Master of Information and Systems Science
University of Ontario Institute of Technology – Master of Information Technology Security

So, basically if you go through that database link it should provide you with all of the information you require per the programs and the institutions.  Should you require further assistance, feel free to contact me directly at canadaforum@hotmail.ca

@olatiler – You will certainly qualify to apply for Canadian Permanent Residency under the Skills Worker program. Based on the information you have provided, you will be eligible under Skill Level B. Now, having said that, all other requirements will have to be fulfilled. Feel free to contact me at canadaforum@hotmail.ca if you require further assistance and advise on how to proceed with the skill worker application process. In the meantime, you can go through this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/tool/tool_01h.asp


@Laajman – GMAT are usually required by most institutions for MBA programs especially for International Students. Having said that, each application are accessed individually but I will advise you to have a GMAT as this will make your application more competitive. Per GRE, not sure if it is a general requirement across board, however, you can consult the schools about this. I’ve included this link for you, which is the Association of Universities and Colleges in Canada, this will give you a database of all the institutions that will offer the programs in questions (MBA and MSc Business/Finance) - http://oraweb.aucc.ca/dcu_e.html . Should you require further assistance and information, e-mail me at canadaforum@hotmail.ca

@babsharon – Secondary School transcripts can be sent directly to the schools if you can obtain an official transcripts from WAEC (only official transcripts, no photocopies, no un-official results). Preferable, you may want WAEC to send it directly to them but knowing the inefficiency in our country, you may want to get the official results and send it directly (in a sealed envelope) to the college you are applying to. Contact me directly if you require further assistance (canadaforum@hotmail.ca)

@marvis32 – since this is a short term course, per Canadian Immigration requirements, you may not actually need a student visa to take the course. You will have to check the IATA website to see schedule of upcoming courses. Most of the trainings in Canada are held in Montreal. Here is a link to the IATA website. http://www.iata.org/training/pages/calendar.aspx . You may want to look at all of the courses  that will take place in Montreal and based on that you can be able to obtain a visiting visa, however, it is generally recommended to try and obtain a study permit, in case your study period goes beyond the anticipated time. So, to answer your question, it may be advantageous to apply for a study permit once you’ve determine which courses you are going to apply for.
