You are not wrong, however, hierarchy, classism, blue collar, labour exploitation is a part of our societal reality.

Nations always have citizen classes.

As per the international students, every individual have his/her values to uphold. Even if you let some students, they will work 100 hours a week. What am i even saying, there have been instances where Nigerian students work 100 hours weekly, and this one is not them say. It makes you ask, who is exploiting who?

bepositive11:
You're missing my point...

If you go to farmlands in Canada, you will see that local Canadians don't work there. They bring workers from Mexico, Jamaica, etc. From countries willing to tolerate the low wages and poor working conditions.

In the same way, you won't see local Canadians doing the kind of jobs that *most* international students do. Some work in warehouses, some in factories, etc.

Sure, there are professional jobs but how many international students will get accepted? Especially given that they lack the all time famous "Canadian experience". International students struggle to get such positions, especially when they first come to Canada.

Canada won't be able to function if international students didn't do those low skilled and low paid jobs. And yes, they have a choice to work for only 20 hours, but think about this. If you had an open job position and you needed to hire workers to cover 40 hours a week.

If 2 students offered to work for 20 hours each but another student agreed to work for 40 hours, who would you employ? Won't you employ that 1 student willing to work for 40 hours because you only have to train 1 person? And then, won't those other 2 students be pressured to work for 40 hours to get the job? That's the race to the bottom I'm talking about.

And yes, adults are responsible for their mental health, but when they're put in such a desperate situation and being taken advantage of, what other choice do they have?

I've already seen a number of threads on other online forums by students sharing their struggles with mental health because of the stress of studying and working to pay their tuition fees and living expenses.

This 20 hour thing doesn't affect me at all because I already have a professional job offer with good pay waiting for me. You are also well on your way to a comfortable professional job too, but what about those who are not in our position?

Whether we choose to see it or not, international students are being exploited. That's the sad truth.

Alright, here is the #UglyTruth.

Every International Student "begged to apply" with full assurance that they will not require the Canada welfare system to cater for themselves and tuition costs. Education is a profitable business for every nation, hence it is an exploitable resource model for national gains. It is well established that there is a legitimate pathway for students to become permanent residence, however, until that is achieved, the Canada welfare system do not owe you any obligation other than to satisfy their contract to providing you with the quality education you paid for.

Now, as per the removed 20hrs working cap for International Students, your employer wont force you to work during school periods unless you choose to out of greed or anything else (financial situations). Every enrolled student have their coure schedules for the week, and no employer will have the right to demand you to skip classes for work, International Labour Laws wont allow that.

Now onto students working low wage jobs, you see, that is entirely the students' choice. there are lots of menial jobs here that even an untrained poodle can perform which international and even grad students go for, it is no ones fault really. they simply pick their poison. I particularly saw tons of those menial jobs, but i opted to bide my time and look for something both profitable and valuable to do and right now i am on track to achieving that which will position me to practice my trade and continue my Nigerian work experience there in canada. If i had gone and pitched with the menial jobs, that will set the tone of my continuing professional career.

Every province have their minimum wage, and no employer will pay less than that. not legally anyway, hence there is no way they are exploiting international students based on relative wage payments. You are only working part-time, not expierienced in the field, and cannot demand to be paid relative to practicing professionals. It is not like 9ja where your wage is not objectively calculated, but rather every role and skills profile determines how much above the minimum wage a person is paid. A student however, is still learning, and can be engaged professionally as an associate (which is just above minimum wage because you are more like an intern) i think. I may be wrong though, but that is my perception.

Canada is not running a santa clause education system, they invest a lot on it to attract clients (international students) hence, cannot be operating it at a loss to appeal to student's good graces. they already have scholarship schemes which are earned based on steep competition.

Every student is responsible for managing and maintaining his/her mental health. We are adults, we can't demand a system to nurse us until we pass on na.

I do not think they are exploiting students, but rather even taking strategic actions to support their integration and future prospects.
what do you think considering the above though?

bepositive11:


They're jumping because they don't understand that they're being exploited. They don't understand that they're being used to do low skilled work with low wages that Canadian locals won't tolerate.

I thought I was the only one who could see this but I checked Reddit and found that local Canadians share the same sentiment with me.

First, Canada asks international students to pay 4 times the tuition fee of what a local would pay. Now they're encouraging us to work for more than 20 hours while studying full time because of "labour shortage". They're claiming that it will help us pay our fees and living expenses.

How will it affect academic performance? How will it affect student's mental health? How will it protect students when they're working? Employers would of course prefer to employ students willing to work longer hours, so it's a race to the bottom because all students will be pressured to work for longer hours.

And mind you, if a student should fail courses and have to repeat them in a part time semester, they won't be eligible for a PGWP.

Canada is not doing international students a favour with this law. They're doing themselves a favour and exploiting students. If they really want to help us, they'll start by lowering our tuition fees.

I'm still opting for Canada, but at that time, I was sad to realise this dark truth.

my friend, see in this life, you focus where your intent is...
it is not an obsession.
take me, i have gotten what i want, i have also attempted to give back to the community, however, i still frequent here every other hour just to read. this is because i may stumble upon useful information here. i didnt bother to migrate to the "Living in Canada Nigerian Immigrant" thread becuase this one is more lively, even with the skoh skoh weh dey happen here..lol

so dont fret yourself. keep at it. you may see an information that will be the deal break to expedite action on your case under review.

by the way int'l student in canada will soon be able to work more than 20 hrs weekly. this is great news for hustlers.

by the way, this land is indeed green!!! less than 3 weeks of landing, and i am literarily doing point and kill selection with professional jobs on which to pick, and more flexible based on my study demands. abeg make unu do come.

Charito, i neva forget the JJC meet up ooh. anytime weh you come host am, we go still attend as JJCs. lol

bepositive11:


No, seriously. My obsession with Canadian student visa is unhealthy. I need a break. I think about it when I wake up, when I'm eating, when I'm travelling, when I'm about to sleep. I even dream about it

Abeg, let's allow someone else to take charge. I'm sure there someone else here who can take over.

Yes indeed.
I will recommend sending an updated SOA using LOE, moreso that the fixed deposit lifecycle have elapsed hence, the funds have been liquidated into your account. Leverage this opportunity to do a case reminder to IRCC Nairobi office.

Use the LOE to clarify the situation, remind them on the fixed deposit funds now fully accessible by you, then point them to the need for you have a case status update to enable you progress & finanlise preparation for study resumption. (use the situation to your full benefit.) continually transmit the updated SOA via WEBFORM & EMAIL each to NAIROBI, LAGOS, ABUJA, LONDOND, ACCRA, GHANZHOU once a day twice a week, for three weeks then stop. winks.

good luck meehn.

Thomsyne:


Hmmm... you make some points. Is resending an unaltered copy of this document via webform explaining my reason a good idea?
Hope it won't elongate the duration of my application 'cos its already 13 weeks as is.

you see, i may be wrong, but you are not supposed to touch a financial bank statement mostly when you tendering same as evidence. You can quote / reference page, line, etc and give clarification. However, i think using adobe to highlight, comment, or affixt notes in the financial statements invalidates it eligibility. that is walking a super thin line if you ask me. I may be going overboard. But come to think of it, if you can highlight financial statements with adobe app, who says you haven't changed figures there in? The VO may not totally red flag it, but you are causing your submissions to be subjected to more scrutiny and validity checks, which you don't need.

I think that is the reason why MBS are directly transmitted to the embassies. The VOs are trained to review and analyse bank statements, hence simply referencing it in your SOP or LOE is enough to guide them to the transaction you are trying to clarify without altering the financial documents.

Thomsyne:


Hey olokings, cooooooks,

I keep seeing this talk of "altered" bank statements and suddenly I got scared cos I highlighted a FD credit and debit on my father's statement of account to show inflow and outflow of the funds. I didn't alter figures, I simply used Adobe highlighter to color the column in yellow so it can easily be spotted. I couldn't use MBS because it is a Microfinance Bank and they don't have MBS.

Hope this isn't a problem? Also, as at the time I submitted, the funds were fixed, closing balance was low, although with the same bank but would have matured around August 9. I attached the certificates from last year to backup those highlights too.

He detailed his case argument obviously.

These oyinbo people they want you to be transparent and upfront with everything information that will support your eligibility review.

congrasts to him again.

cooooooks:
Oboy, what and what did you write in a 9 page SOP??

Congratulations my bro.

you don open am jorh..

Chymallchamps:
I just received 2 'donotreply' mail on my email now and I am so scared to open itttttt.

there is this guy, his moniker starts with "J" something and other gurus that can help you with that.

as per transcript, when applying for admission, you use your unofficial transcript. Meaning that copy you collected from your by hand or emailed to you, that is what you will use to apply to all the schools at once.

When you are accepted, they will require you to send the original transcript from you educational institution directed. That is when you approach the school to send your transcript to the specific one school whose admission you want to accept.

That is as far as i know though.

good luck.

[quote author=GloriaBekee post=117284386][/quote]

It is your father that is sponsoring you.
Establishing that type of relationship with sponsor, he should be able to demonstrate commitment by transfering requisite funds (say living expense & tickets) into your own account while paying you tuition with a gift deed.

Bringing the company account and signatory set up into the picture is simply to establish his source of funds. He cant simply because he is the CEO grant you scholarship by the company. I dont think that is ethical practice, oyinbo people dont think the way we do, lol.

He cannot be commiting company funds for personal usage when there are shareholders or employee welfare to take care of. unless you are talking about a one man SME.

Peace634244:
Hi guys .. I’ve been a ghost reader for a while now but please I have a question that has been on my mind for a while now
Okay...I’m about to submit my application for Canada study visa but I seem to have a problem with the sponsors account
My father is my sponsor and he has a company
So we actually planned to use the company account which has over 1billion which is the total Credit balance for six months...but recently I saw a thread on twitter which says we shouldn’t use any company account for our study visa so now I’m confused on what to do should I submit his personal account?... just that the personal account is not huge compared to that one
His personal account is 250m total credit balance for 6months
So please guys how true is it that I can’t use my fathers company account when he’s the sole signatory to the account and I’m just 19 plus the company will write a letter indicating I’m the CEO’s daughter plus bank’s reference letter will also show that I’m the sponsors daughter

And should i just submit both his company account and his personal account

What are my chances of being given a visa considering financial capability?

Someone has to tell you the #uglytruth.

You see these west worlds, they have a way of establishing requirements in their immigration systems to attract and allow certain type of profile to pass through the channel and come into their country.

You want to fake financial statements, your agent have advised you against it that it is fraud, you are still asking how you can circumvent it! How do you hope to succeed there if by any miracle you pass throuth and arrive there? Scaling the routine needs for survival won't last long like in Nigeria here where systems dont work.

You have to go back, reevaluate your plans. If you dont have at least N5m or your own, and/or cant get someone to commit N10m towards your dream, plus a significant scholarship sponsor, my guy, dont even bother going to submit any application because you will be tarnishing any future hope you had with this action.

You do not meet the basic eligibility requirements, let me put it plain to you. Forget this admission for now, go back and work on your profile, re-plan and find a way to improve your financial standing before your go back to IRCC.

This japa journey of today isn't for the downtrodden of Naija as earlier though. It is actually for those who were able to create opportunities out of the already basterdised system, hence if they move over to where systems works, they will excel super.

My brother, just take a step back and think creatively how you can package yourself to present an eligible profile before making any further atempts.

No prejudice, just felt i should tell you the #uglytruth.

ciao

Uchenation:


So in essence MBS is better than SOA?
You know I used to think MBS is requested only if your benign sponsored and your sponsor will be the one to have their MBS send.
I’m asking so because I’m also building my account for my application too. I need more clarity on that. Please.
Also the whole POF thing is becoming more complex, travel Kulture is advising me not to do POF that I’ll be banned.
My agent who doubles as director of my school says I should do POF If my SOA is insufficient for visa application.
• I got someone who can do account alterations for me to have the said account balance i need (10M) but my agent says I’ll be banned for 10yrs if I used a fake bank statement, so I’m confused if what the man want to do will be termed fake or not by IRCC.
I just tire ��‍♂️� since August 25th I’ve been hanging cus of this POF issue and my school have resumed already online.
Please is there anyone in my shoes? How did you do or someone should please advise what I should do about this. I’m just worried that I have not submitted my application yet since when I did my médicale.

Lastly has anyone successfully used or vouch Naira digital for proof of funds (someone should please answer me)

Thank you all as I await your response

i think what you are asking is how are you going to proove source of funds....

there are flags you need to address.

- you have more than enough money for the study venture. good. but from where did the money come.
- funds is fixed in a joint account between you and your dad. who earned the money? did your dad fix it with you as a co-owner of what is the structure of the joint funds investment like?
- your dad do not have a good paying job with bank statement. this totally contradicts your first submission. so it is safe to assume that you are the primary owner of the fixed investment funds. so how and why do your dad come in?
- cycle back to the notification that you are a recent school leaver. how did you come about the said funds and again, why is your dad a co-owner?
- if you have the funds fixed and available right now... why are you not progressing with your visa application

Your dad cannot sponsor you, you cannot proove source of funds (i assume), do you have digital assets, or how did you really come about the funds.

The above as salient issues that needs to be addressed.

i will reply you private email, perhaps you have information that you cannot give here. however, i will analyse your submissions further and give recommendations as best as i can. however, i will come back here and use it as a case study for lessons learned.

ciao

KellyTech007:



Hi Olokings , let me use this opportunity to ask this that has been confusing to me . Firstly, I want to say thanks for your contributions to this Forum.


I have more than Enough for this study Journey , the money is in a fixed account that will be completed in Feb 2023

After Feb 2023 It will be liquidated then I'll have access to it then apply for my Visa , Not only is it in a fixed account ,it's also a joint account of me and my Dad's Name (I'm the main signatory) .

I just graduated last year so I don't have any Job , but yes the fund is available . Also my dad doesn't have a good Job with good bank statement.

Please at this point how do you think I can show a strong proof of funds to the visa office. Like who do I say is sponsoring me ? And how do I back it up ?


Thanks I'll await your Response.

Others can contribute too .

Jenny I'm not against your view ...even if you can send me your SOP, I'll gladly accept and use it to guide mine. I'm just looking for samples, drafts to get an idea and not to copy anyone's essay. Can you share yours with me privately please? Thanks in anticipation

over the course of your pivoting into a career in finance, did you acquire any credential (either certification, courses, short diplomas et al) which demonstrates your skills as an experienced practitioner in that field? what forms of development (whether self or sponsored) have your embarked on during your financial career gig?
you will need to demonstrate this and leverage it as a prerequisite for pursuing a postgrad in finance. plus you cannot just go back to psychology because you could answer the question above, mostly if you have graduated over 8 years counting now.

it is going to be difficult convincing the VO that your venture is a reasonable expense if you can not answer the questions above appropriately.

Question ni ooo, studied psychology,but went into finance, worked in the bank and later registered his own company,which is into different buisness, now he wants to do master in either finance or buisness, is this possible since he studied psychology?

Any help, advise or Recommendation.

Jenny255:
It is people like you that will rely on someone’s exact SOP to pass off as theirs, you think Canadian VO(s) are dull-witted right?

The SOP is the most important aspect of an application, that’s why it is pertinent that you Do IT Yourself!!!!

NO ONE CAN TELL YOUR STORY LIKE YOU WOULD, KNOW THIS AND EXCEL!!!

Next time if you have something to say, quote me so that I’ll give a more befitting response.

NB: This is just for other applicants that will be tricked by your write up! There are enough pointers on this thread to guide you in writing your SOP, a lot of people have posted tips that are very helpful. Use that and structure your SOP, use your own words to say it as it is.
A lot of people can help you to review it, you can also use apps like Grammarly and Prowriting Aid to check for grammatical errors and sentence construction.

PS: SOP business is the one thing I can never be involved in. It’s really dumb for you to assume that, all because you need SOP to copy!

you see this life is simple. true and genuine systems are set up to make the achievement of your intent very easy. if you wanna achieve a goal, and you refuse to put in the work, the system will make it super easy for your to fail. someone who is intent on acquiring a study visa from IRCC, and do not know the position of the western world with regards to plagiarism, then do not have any business going there to study in the first place, hence the need to fail fast and fail foward by plagiarism significantly word for word a draft which is posted online. indirectly i have simply saved the system of one olodo who will go there and cause even more problems (you get the idea there!).

Furthermore, let me put it straight to you that, everyone who have applied for and gotten their study permits, even so called agents and gurus, they use a framework / format of SOP which they copied from somewhere. you just gotta know how to use reference materials when trying to solve a problem. if you dont know how to do this in the first place, then there was no way you could have been able to scale the study permit trails.

hence, i am not scared of transforming my SOPs & LOEs into draft templates. Plus, to be on the safe side, i have crossed the chasm, and passports are cooling off.. if one not so smarticles person ga'an copy and even join copy date of birth (remember those that copy matric numbers? lol), he / she will be doing the system a service for swift refusal.

i do not even need to put a caveat. just go to google and type SOP for canada study permit, you will see tons of them. so qualms.

however, the smart ones that have a real shot at this venture, will find this effort super useful. we should hide resources and be dropping only PPR statistics on the platform. it does them no service whatsoever.

plus, about reviewing people's SOP, ayam not an agent, not even a guru, plus i dont have the time to handle that, talkless of the fact that i do not like reading.

Jenny255:
Hi Olokings. It’s great to see that you are putting out pointers to help new applicants, but while doing so, also remember that plagiarism is real.

That’s the reason why SOP are barely posted here, because some applicants will copy it word for word and trust me when it’s flagged, it’s never good news.

You can help proof read SOP and make corrections if you can spare the time, but posting a draft of what you used, will make most applicants want to use the same thing because they’ll see it as a winning SOP.

One person using it might scale through but when a couple of people do so, the system is bound to flag it and you know it spikes trouble for their application.

Just something for you to consider.

i haven't revised that right now... will be done at a convenient date before weekend..

Do not present your case to the VO like the co-op will fund your study.

At best, it should fund miscelenous after living expense is well taken care of.

Frankielilbaby:

Gain expertise but I also want to know the answer to this I have a co op too

Helping the student gather field experience and skills and logical because a requisite to gain study permit is demonstration of finding capabilities. Hence, a plan to use co-op for funding your study kinda ticks that. Even if it is not explicitly stated that you can't, I don't think that strategy will be preferred now appreciated by the VO.

My honest opinion though..

Good luck

MyVc:





Please, am not an expert here. I'm only seeking clarification.





I initially thought that the Co-op will help the student to garner field experience and might also help to carter for the person's needs too.




Thanks.

correct me if i am wrong, but is a co-op supposed to be channel to fund your study like scholarship or an opportunity to gain field experience and requisite skills during your study?

Your response to the above will answer your prior question.

MyVc:
Please, if one intends to study a three-year course with a Co-op in Canada



Will the person's Proof of Funds cover the tuition fees and the living expenses for the three years before the Visa approval or will they approve the Visa with Proof of Funds for the first year only.




Since the person will be studying and working.




Thanks.

you should definitely revised your SOP and definitely ADD LOE to specifically address the issues which the visa officer raised in your GCMS notes.

the visa officer will make notes as per your eligibility review however, little things like i identified with regards to strategies and minor flags / issues with your application package may not find its way to your GCMS notes, which when cummulated may impact or sway the VOs decision. like that one about the tuition payment by the spouse wasn't a big issue. The GCMS notes may say that there is lack of commitment from sponsor, however, there may not be further clarification as to why the VO felt or perceived it that way. This kinda passive issues you address with your modified SOP.. while the main issues as spelt out in your GCMS you tack comprehensively with your LOE.

these are my take and personal views though.

bepositive11:


Thank you very much as always.

What do you think about this though. If someone gets rejected, is it better to revise their SOP or leave their SOP as it is and attach an LOE addressing VO's concerns? Do you think it makes a difference?

they wouldn't have mentioned it as it wasn't the major strike, however, it impacted your assets & financial standing assessment as an unreasonable expense.

follow up on case study

the key issue was the lack of commitment from sponsor by having the spouse paying your tuition deposit. if applicant had demonstrated that the spouse got the money from your sponsor in the first instance, the application may have been successful. although i think that would have been a very slim chance.

do the following as recommended action for reapplication:
- apply for an Masters (preferably course based. or if you want scholarship, Thesis based will earn you that).
- have your sponsor, whether it is your mother or uncle transfer the money into your account or ... they should pay your 1st year tuition deposit, and transfer your living expense to you.
- if they have lump sums in their account, they should do well to explain their source of funds.
- add your own business and/or personnal account statement and explain your source of funds and any lump sumps deposits with evidence therein.
- rewrite your SOP. reference my earlier post on SOP tactics.

Continuation of Putting it Out There..... fall out of discuss with applicant

Learning from visa refusal incident

Case study. Applicant anonymous

Visa decision: Refusal on the bases on no assets, financial funds insufficient
Applicant Profile: application packaged and filed by an agent
• Program applied for: Diploma in Business Administration
• Institution: College
• Previous educational background: BSc in Tourism & Hospitality Mgt. acquired in 2018
• Employment history: NYCS, and self employed entrepreneur (shop owner)
• Owns a fabric & clothing business for which taxes are paid & receipts evidence of transactions are available
• Sponsorship – family: uncle with over USD$21,000.00 as closing balance, SOA (MBS) submitted + affidavit of support
o Apparently Sponsor withdrew funds from account couple of days before decision was made
• Tuition Deposit: CAD$750.00 made by applicant’s spouse from spouse’s account
• Assets: no owned assets
• SOP drafted + applicants personal SOA submitted

Applicants Positio[/b]n:
• Refiring strategy: looking forward to reapplying with self & mother as co-sponsor

[b]Assessment
• course of proposed study aligns with undergrad credential & justified given applicant is an entrepreneur, however there is no demonstrable career progress given applicant is pursuing a diploma in business administration when prior credential well aligned with Biz. Admin (all social sciences).
• Issue: spouse paid applicant’s tuition deposit. This does not demonstrate commitment from supposed sponsor as presented by applicant.
• Agent should have advised applicant against submitted visa package with this profile. This goes to buttress the point that majority of agent out there are mostly not committed to applicants success, as it is simply business for them. Collect deposits, and leave you to your luck.
• Furthermore, inattentive agents may miss little loop holes and grey areas in you application which if you reviewed your submission yourself with enough information, you would have spotted and rectified.

Recommendation:
• The application can be repackaged and submitted with opportunity for success if issues are clearly addressed in the future.
• Sponsor should have paid initial study deposit (at least 1 session or 2 semesters) to demonstrate commitment and transfer Cost of Living Expense to applicants account. Another strategy is, sponsor transfers tuition to applicants account and payment is made by self with receipted evidences.
• Submit evidence to support relationship between applicant and sponsor as well as previous instance of support / obligations between sponsor and applicant
• Address any lump sums in sponsors account to demonstrate source of funds

Caveat: ayam not an agent, nor guru, nor SOP writter / reviewer. I simply evaluated the applicant's profile and strategy for success.
If you engage me privately, i will still summarise our discuss and bring it out here for learning opportunities. we must boost our PPR success rate and success factors should be open source information.

• Agent should have advised applicant against submitted visa package with this profile. This goes to buttress the point that majority of agent out there are mostly not committed to applicants success, as it is simply business for them. Collect deposits, and leave you to your luck.
• Furthermore, inattentive agents may miss little loop holes and grey areas in you application which if you reviewed your submission yourself with enough information, you would have spotted and rectified.

Recommendation:
• The application can be repackaged and submitted with opportunity for success if issues are clearly addressed in the future.
• Sponsor should have paid initial study deposit (at least 1 session or 2 semesters) to demonstrate commitment and transfer Cost of Living Expense to applicants account. Another strategy is, sponsor transfers tuition to applicants account and payment is made by self with receipted evidences.
• Submit evidence to support relationship between applicant and sponsor as well as previous instance of support / obligations between sponsor and applicant
• Address any lump sums in sponsors account to demonstrate source of funds

Caveat: ayam not an agent, nor guru, nor SOP writter / reviewer. I simply evaluated the applicant's profile and strategy for success.
If you engage me privately, i will still summarise our discuss and bring it out here for learning opportunities. we must boost our PPR success rate and success factors should be open source information.

Your earlier post implied that YOU/A 9JA KIN were fired without YOUR / D 9JA KIN'S colleague who was an executive in the coy didn't attempt to put in a word for the person in question.

You blamed the 9ja KIN for not standing up for his country man hence the served breakfast.

He replied you with that assumption (which was not incorrect), however he sought for further clarification so it won't be that he jumped into conclusion.

If you didn't want a feedback, you wouldn't have put the information here tagging 9ja countrymen as not being united nor patriotic.

You prayed for a feedback with your submission, he responded, and then you almost called him olodo. Wow.

Jeff5gold:


Which kin wahala be this ?….did I mention anybody was fired And what’s the meaning of this “ Should s/he put their own job/family/career at risk because of you?”

You are asking for complete story as if I owe you anything, I would have typed “Olodo” but let me mind my business

course-based master usually require at least 1 academic referees, and 1 or more professional referees. even you very own corrofo colleague in the office and fill the professional referee form for your so no need bother to ga'an be looking for one high above executive.

Thesis based master requires at mostly academic referees.

good luck.

Ojb555666:

Please are the thesis based Masters the ones that require referees?

Search for Course-Based masters programs.... Thesis-based masters program mostly require Supervisors to gain admission. Course - based on the other hand do not.

Guys please , what Canada university does not need me to get a supervisor before applying for it's masters. This thing is too frustrating, I would pay application fees then still have to get a supervisor..

while your position is justified, your speculation that asides the submissions of the mentioned few, the platform now open source inaccurate information is grossly misconstrued.
Argue the relevance of gurus which is great and appreciated, however, it is ill-intentional to disrepute / disregard / discountenance the submissions of those not in the caucus of gurus. You are indirectly propagating a school of thought that newbies should only seek information from the select few gurus, ergo channelling prospective requests to them and where they are unable to answer on the open source platform, seek a private engagement with them.

This kinda cycles back to the speculative claims / allegations that the gurus use monikers to achieve the intent which you are knowingly / unknowingly driving right now.

A simple critical analysis of your submission string reveals this. My suggestion is let the gurus keep doing their thing whilst at the same time encourage open source information for DIY applicants.

ciao.

Cadygosh:
You welcome Justmellow and good to have you back.

The bittered souls that have been claiming Fake PPR from you gurus have not for once brought out concrete evidence to prove their points, but they chose to tarnish the images of selfless people like you, frank and Makano on this thread out of Envy and hate. I can even see one of the bittered people acting like a guru here whereas he doesn't know shit.
It's good to see you are back and I hope Frank and Makano come back too so this thread can be enriched with professional advice and guidance, cos truth be told, We do not get accurate answers to the questions on this thread again..

It is either you face the reality of this, or argue it with the VO reviewing your case file.

There are lots of precursors to all these different checks placed on applications from different regions. Most of the times, we are our own bane in Nigeria. our predecessors set standards that are grossly unsustainable for generations to come. Remember when we didn't need visa to go to the UK or US... well today
