I studied Agronomy, did my final yr projec t in soil science which is one of areas of specialization in agronomy and wish to study geology in canada

Technically, geology and agronomy have points of interrelation, but looking at faculty of each, one is from agricultural science and the other is from pure science so maybe that could be the consideration. However, you have to technically present ur study intents, relationship to ur 1st degree course and plans. Once again i repeat, be more technical and precise in your presentation....victoria ascerta!

seyidollar4real:
please forumite i need ur advice

@Seyidollar4real, my lil knowledge is dat if ur proposed course of study is completely different from d one u did in ur 1st degree, u may need to right motivation letter/letter of intent to show why u're going for such, u may also need to include how ur initial course is related to d new one and ur future ambition. without this, u maybe risking denial. In all, everything depends on God favor and grace. i hope ds will be useful... cheers.

To all denial, All shall be well.......Sometimes, what seems good to us are hazardous to our destiny from God's point of view, and sometimes we may need to wait for the appointed time..... In all be strong and find out God's plan for you lives and do exploit thereafter. Cheers

earthgreeners: @All , does anyone know how Memorial university and University of Manitoba send their admission acceptance letter...is it via courier or regular mail...If regular mail, how long does it take to get to the recipient...

Manitoba sends their letter by regular mail which takes between 6-8weeks to deliver, but if you can liaise with ur supervisor or dept., they can get it sent to you via courier (and they take responsibility of d cost) or you can arrange DHL to pick it up for you (costs about =N=21,000) and get it delivered in 3days. cheers.

@ALL, CDHC PROCESSED A LOT OF APPLICATIONS TODAY ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT SUBMITTED AROUND SEPT. OCTOBER, NOVEMBER AND FEW DEC. SO PLS TRACK YOUR STATUS NOW AND GIVE US THE GOOD NEWS.

@kelly4top,
This is gud news 4da house... But can u tell us ur info source at least to show how authentic and sure it is..... Thank u very much. Cheers.

kelly4top: it's high time all nairalanders in Lagos gathered together in CDHC on a certain date we will agree on and protest on delay. We would arrange and go with news papers jounalist e.g Vangaurd or Punch to carry the news so that our national assembly will hear and even Canada government will be aware how this guys are seizing our original documents and international passport over 6 months. Imagine a friend cannot collect money from Western Union cos his passport has been with CDHC for ages. This can no longer be tolorated and we need to act to save our self and generation of ill and descriminatory treatment.
If you agree to this proposal, let us fix date and plan ahead cos CDHC own don too much. They need to be exposed. They are not working in that embassy and they are not the only Embassy in Nigeria.
What do you think guys? I dey vexx...

Guy, I understand your agitation and i seem to agree with you for a protest to be staged. However, I feel their excuses which they gave to Minister of Foreign affairs last year of large number of applicants would be justified and what the govt. will tell us to be patient or at worst find other countries (if you so wish to study abroad or even visit). I feel the fight may not hold waters....... so i'll advise we lunched the appeal for mercy and favor to God, who can do all things against all odds....... Cheers.

d jay:

Thanks a lot at list for letting me know am not far from the right track. Well I had just gone through the form in search of any mistake and non was recorded , I had equally sent a mail earlier but no reply yet and I had made inquries from my bank and for now no deductions was made. So I finnally resorted to couriering my documents including my master card details of an acc that has just about the requsted application fee just so they would not be any delay in processing my documents. Hope its something? Godbless u for the info.

Amen, thanks and I wish u success.....

d jay: This tread has been a source of motivation for me to pursue a graduate certificate in Canada, well I have started the procedure in algonquin college and I was to be charged $95CAD for application fee after filling an online form which I filled in my master card details yet to this very moment the cash has not been deducted, I only got a mail to courier my credentials over, I was to send the documents over today until a friend advised me to attach a proof of the application fee payment together with my documents to the school . Am confused I don't know if I should just send my documents over as requested by the school or make sure I attach some sort payment proof before sending the documents over plus I have even requested the school bank details so perharps I can do a direct bank to bank transaction.Please any one with any suggestion on how I should follow the matter should please info me asap. Thank you.

hi friend, i don't think u need to attach any payment doc. What i will advise is dat u send an inquiry email to d admissions to ascertain ur payment. Also ask ur bank if any money was withdrawn and lastly check if u didnt make any mistake while filling ur card details. Cheers.

@Earthgreener and Siga... U both av spoken my mind and u're on point! With all sense of seriousness and humility, I say it's God. He specializes in doing what d strength and capacity of man can't carry! My CGPA is not dat spectacular as av seen stronger ones on ds thread..... Mind u d IGSES is cgpa base but full research grant (which is highly competitive) depends on GRACE factor, unmerited favor which only God can give... Jesus is Lord! Cheers

omosanyaolak:
it is still a mistery. Even if it is verification they'r doing. I dont have any documents that need to be verified in heaven so why the longer time? Anyway, it is now in the past. Thanks

Well in ds midst of ds processing time enigma i feel u should re-think and re-checked ur doc submittd...could there av be any comprise, wat about funds available in d acct, any possible missing doc. etc? A proper root mean cause carried out may reveal any possible issue so dat one can learn 4rm it 4 future purpose. Cheers.

Hummm...very funny, cdhc still oct 14 applicants? It's well... God's will shall prevail.

earthgreeners:

There are just 10 faculty members and I was able to speak with one of them..Unfortunately, she is on leave till August ..at dis critical stage.....

Good, since her leave ends in August, she can still be ur supervisor cos u're starting fall which is September Ask her if she willing to supervise you, and once she gives u a yes then send ur application to d FGS and quote her as ur preferred supervisor...then engage others too to av more options...

earthgreeners:

earthgreeners:

stop overs...opposite of direct flights

Aright bro, thanks once again. When do u intend to go and which sch are u going to(start term)?

earthgreeners:

I think KLM and Ethopian Airline gat reasonable airfare....U can get KLM to Winnipeg via connecting flight....But for Ethopian, u fly to Toronto (connecting flights) then u can book another flight to Winnipeg from Toronto....

I think first u need to live off campus in a shared apartment (that wld cut down ur accomodation cost), cook ur own food....thatz all I know, those in canada can shed more light....

Ok...thanks. Pls can u explain what u mean by *connecting flights* then how much does it cost to fly to Winnipeg from Toronto(on d cheapest? I am also doing some research here about it.... Cheers.

Please I'll like to know how I can minimize my expenses over there, pls advice me as I'm married and i also have to take care of her here in 9ja while i work on her visit. Also, i'll like to know i cheapest i can fly to Winnipeg, either straight or breaking journey...I won't mind... thanks and God bless you.
