Hello house is it possible to get admission for M.SC Computer Science or M.Eng Software Engineering in Canada, with a weak second class upper like 3.7? |

IboBoyNuel: (1) All your sponsor needs is tuition plus living expenses for 1 year (2) The answer to this is a tricky one. CIC have not been consistent in how they grant visas most especially to applicants from Nigeria. If your Sponsor has your living expenses $10,000 in his account (I am assuming you are not going to Quebec) and has had a very good cash flow for at least 4 months backed by documents to show that his business is viable and he has good investments such as properties and so forth, then that will be more than enough. If he does not have a good cash flow, make sure he has the whole cash (tuition plus living expenses) in his account plus documents to show the source of funds or what he does for a living, documents for properties, letter of employment or CAC documents if he is a business owner and so forth. Of course, if he can show all of the money (tuition plus living expenses in his account, nothing stops him from doing that. The answer to your number two question depends on so many factors. (3) It is not compulsory but highly recommended if the sponsor is a third party. If he is not a close family member, let him transfer your living expenses to your account and let that money stay in your account for some few weeks before you apply. This is my opinion. (4) The transfer of funds from a sponsor ( most especially people that are not your parents) to your account shows that the sponsor is committed and has demonstrated this by transferring your living expenses to your account. P.S It is easier to believe parents to commit such huge amount than it is to believe a third party without any form of commitment There is nothing to worry about the transfer being a lump sum. Explain in a tabular form, the amount in your account before and after the transfer and where the money came from and the purpose of the money. Also, your sponsor should clearly indicate in his sponsorship letter how much he has in his account, how much of the money in his account he is committing to your studies, how much he has transferred to you for living expenses and why he wants to sponsor you. Again, this is very important. Why will someone who is not your parent spend over $20,000 on your education? This is part of trying to know if you are a genuine student. Ask as many questions as possible. You are not derailing the thread. 4 Likes 1 Share |

TheAfroBlog: 3.7 is not weak, stop sounding defeated. The key to getting masters admission in Canada is applying about 10-12 months in advance. Apply early before it gets very competitive. Yes, you can get masters admission if you can take the time to research and apply to as many schools as possible on time. 3 Likes |

3.7? This is a good cgpa to go for MSC in canada. For you to gain admission like memorial university of New Foundland.,they require 2.75 on a scale of 4, so 3.7 will be like 2.96 and try and apply early too TheAfroBlog: |

Naijaforeigner: Hi, I thought you'll use the savings from the first 4 months of working to fund the second PGC, if yes, then what do you mean by "There is no way you will work for eight months"? How does one get the chance to work eight months at a stretch? 1 Like |

TheAfroBlog:It's a little weak considering the competition for competitive programs like software engineering. You can try graduate Certificate programs out. You'll easily get it. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by Naijaforeigner: 11:01pm On Jan 11, 2020 |
Raalsalghul: Normally 1 year PGC is 8 months but some colleges have PGC with either a compulsory or optional 4 months Co-op. I shared a link of such in that post. This means 8 months plus 4 months Co-op. Then once you are done with your program that has Co-op, you can take additional 4 months break before starting your next program. I shared the link in my previous post showing that it is allowed by CIC to take up to 150 days to work full time on the completion of your 1 year PGC. 4 months Co-op plus 4 months additional break on the completion of your program before the start of the new one, makes it 8 months. P.s Also, while doing your Co-op which is normally Monday through Friday, you are still permitted to work 20 hours (standard normal student hours). Your Co-op work permit is different and separate form the work permit attached to your study permit. It means while doing your Co-op you are allowed to do up to 60 hours of work if you have the strength. 2 Likes |

Thank you once again. Apart from the following, what other documents do you think I need to get an admission. 1.OND Transcript and Certificate 2. HND Transcript and Certificate 3. International passport. Please what other documents do you think I need and how can get the code you talked about? Also, if I have to submit CV to back my application, which format do you think is most preferable (Canada format or Nigeria Format) God bless you Jephehe: 1 Like |

MOBAN444: Hello MOBAN444, Since you are finding it hard to get the leave approval letter, the employment letter of introduction would suffice in addition to other employment documents at your disposal. All the best. |

milo9: Hello Milo9, Both are equally good. However, that with a co-op gives you certain benefits like work experience, stipends, prospect job offer (to retain your position) etc. All the best. |
