Check out the course you are interested most likely Botany.. Yes Siwes is also a work experience.

so go to the schools portal and course and check if the program is open for January admission.

I've gone to a lot of school websites but I've not been able to get a specific one. Most of the program I saw were for masters. I don't know if you have one or two suggestions in mind concerning the schools I can apply to.

Lekiboboe:

SIWES is not a work experience, it's an industrial training, since you don't have a work experience (paid) related to what you studied & no Job experience in HR (at least 1 year & paid), your best shot is to apply for a PG. Cert program related to your Botany degree.

The program I would av suggested you go for is
PG. Cert, Sustainable Agriculture at Fleming College, Ontario,

You might want to build a career in AGRICULTURAL BOTANY and be an AGRICULTURAL BOTANIST by applying it to Agriculture.

As you know that

"An Agricultural botanist is someone who use the science of botany to help improve farming which brings about SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE"

Unfortunately, this program at Fleming College is a SEPTEMBER (FALL intake) program, it is not available for January (Winter intake) or Spring (May Intake).

You can await suggestions for Botany related programs that would be available for January 2022 from other members of this forum


Finally, you need to work on your Admission Preparation before you submit your Application owing to your 3rd Class degree,
the reason you need to do this is so you can boost your Admission chances despite having a 3rd Class.

To boost your admission chances, take your time and go through everything inside the link below

Additionally, if possible do some short Botany & Agriculture free or paid courses and earn the certificate, upload the certificate as one of your SUPPORTING DOCUMENT for the admission when applying.

Thank you very much for taking your time to explain to me may God bless you abundantly. I will do as you have said.
What other schools do you suggest I check out? I don't mind the period the schools will start taking intakes. I've been checking online but I've not been able to see any I've just been seeing masters

For the bolded, you just need to have or have had prior experience in the intended course.

1) the chances are equal to getting a visa with masters. So many people here have been approved with a pgd.
2) what course do you have experience in Botany or HR.
3) you mean january 2022 admissions, that should be towards may. For visa, immediately.

Taking my SIWES into consideration, I have more experience in botany. I don't have any experience in HR or CR.
I mean being accepted into the school for January intake. Or is it not possible? Should I have to wait till May?

Hi,

You can either do a Program related to your undergraduate or your work experience (at least 1 year)

Before I proceed with my own input, it will be ok if your clarify this

You said

"I did 2 other courses from the chartered institute of customer relations management and chartered institute of human resource management",

Was your NYSC work experience or your present work experience related to HR/customer relations?

Thanks for your reply! It means a lot to me
Im currently looking for a job in an academic setting the school has primary, secondary and University institutions I don't know where I will be placed upon my employment. During my Nysc I taught basic science, agricultural science and computer science at a private secondary school that I was posted to.

Hello everyone. I have been following the discussions here for some time now and ive been really happy and impressed about how priceless information is been dished out for free and about how friendly people are on this platform and so i decided to join this great family because I know I can grow and improve myself through the information shared here.
I have some questions concerning pgd in canada. I graduated 2019 with a 3rd class in botany and I finished Nysc last year November. I want to go for a pgd course because that's the only way I know I can go for my masters. I did 2 other courses from the chartered institute of customer relations management and chartered institute of human resource management during my Nysc based on Nysc recommendation. I've been following this trend now and with what has been said previously about choosing courses it might be a bad idea to choose any course not related to my undergraduate course of study [or in my case is it different?]. Now my questions are
1.what are my chances of getting Canadian study permit for a pgd course.
2. What courses will the house recommend I go for for the pgd course.
3. When should I start my online application for January intake?
I don't know the answer to these questions that's why I'm asking I will be very grateful if my questions are answered. Thank you
