A fully funded MSc program in what?

You can't be asking vague questions, to be honest.

It's possible to get funding, but it typically has to be for a research master's. Canada is mostly looking for international tuition to fund their schools, so getting full funding is difficult.

Canadians are looking for full scholarships as well even as the fees are cheap for them

It's possible for international students to get full scholarships, but it's difficult. Mostly, what you see are scholarship grants where a certain percentage of the fees is paid. For personal research, you would need to find out more about it.

I have met very few people who have been granted full scholarships, but they had extraordinary results and were doing research in very specific fields.

One person I met was doing research on cancer and how computer programs can detect cancer in someone's bloodstream. These are very specific research projects that were funded by private companies in the U.S. in collaboration with the University of Toronto. This research was tied to a professor, so the professor was able to give the student a full scholarship. The student was from Nigeria and graduated from Covenant University with extraordinary results.

After getting admission, the student emailed the professor with a proposal, and the professor was able to assist. Her master's program was then fully funded.

It is hard, but it is possible. Just do your research to find what suits you.

No one has all the answers

You have better options in USA, but it has to be for research that is highly sought after.

Sleep on both website to see which one you qualify for
The website is always updated with the most recent scholarships from different countries. It would be good to open once in the while to see which one you qualify for

Best of luck

Don't just have the mindset of leaving Nigeria; have a plan to get permanent residency, a good job, and stability. You will leave but will be frustrated without a plan.

People are finding it hard to get PR in Canada after school. If you understand the Express Entry system, you'll see how frustrated people are. Some students in Canada are protesting in Prince Edward Island, Brampton, Vancouver, etc., and the government will not address their concerns because elections are on the way, and they are not a priority.

The same thing happens in the USA, where people wait endlessly for a green card and often resort to getting married for papers. Getting married is one way to receive a Green Card, but it is foolish to assume that simply marrying a U.S. citizen will result in an automatic Green Card. Even after marriage, there are often many hoops to jump through.

To be honest, my secondary school classmate is currently in a bind because his Green Card was denied after marriage. He is reapplying because they don't believe the marriage is genuine. Trust me, those marriage interviews for Green Cards are not getting easier.

On June 21, 2024, the Supreme Court in America said marriage is not a guarantee that you will get a Green Card.

Just have a plan.

If you understand what is happening all over the world, you'll see it's turning generally conservative (USA, Europe, and Canada). One thing about conservatives is that they don't like mass immigration.

You have to focus on your strengths and know which country fits you. Canada didn’t fit my brother, who is a medical doctor from Nigeria, so he moved to the UK and has his permanent residency there. I think they call it ILR.

You have to do your research. No one will give you all the answers you want. Don’t leave Nigeria without a plan because you will be super frustrated.[/quote]
