Dept has recommended you to CGPS for admission.
But the admission is conditional until your university in Nigeria send the official transcript to CGPS that when you get the Unconditional offer letter. Congratulations

Thank you very much for this. Much appreciated!

What difference does it really make?? I'm already practicing so I felt an M.Eng would suit me better, than taking an MSc
It makes lots of difference. Especially in the area of fund.

You will get a 3 year post graduation work permit (PGWP) so far the school is an eligible DLI (not all DLI make you eligible).

After getting 3 years PGWP, You qualify to apply for PR if you have worked for at least 1 year in a skilled occupation.

So here you go;

Get offered admission in an eligible DLI - school for at least 2 years (masters, PGD) without any issue or criminal record - get 3 years PGWP - work for 1 year in a skilled occupation - apply for PR

So what happens if your program is less than 2 years, say 16 months or 18 months.

An 18 or 19 year old has good chances but he or she should get admitted first. That’s the first and most important step. Why not UG?
isn't college good also,or is the chances of getting study permit quite lower?

I am currently with a study permit in a college myself, so I never said college limits chances of visa approval.
I was only wondering why the 18 year old does not want to go for undergraduate studies.

If the college accepts the 18 year old student for PGD. Then congrats.

Normally PGWP is given for the length of program. So if your program is 16 months you get 16 months but if 2 years, you get 3 years.

However, it also depends on how the school runs their program.
Some schools see the 16 months program as 2 years. If the school at the end of your program gives you a letter to confirm that the 16 months program is equivalent to a 2 year program when applying for your PGWP, you will get 3 years PGWP.

Please confirm with your school.

Hello house,I want to know if it's okay for me to apply by February for fall 2019, hope it's not too early or should I wait till some months later?

Lol. I Hope you are finding it useful.

Admission application season for Fall is rounding up and my guess is that you are just learning the process.

My simple advise, read page 0-100 of EE thread and start the process. It is very straightforward and You can do provincial nomination.

The student route is complex and your GPA is not smiling enough. If you want to go this route, you will have to read beyond my post and strategize for admission, funding (very doubtful due to your GPA) and student visa which can also be very complicated. It is even easier to study after getting your PR.

Go and make life easier for yourself with less reading and better chances.

Shalom!
