Please does the MBS show your account balance in CAD or naira, I'm asking because for NSE you're to show 30k cad in your MBA. Is it the VO that would convert it or the MBS would be in CAD.

it will show in your local currency

Was the rate fairer than WU and also how many days processing?

Four days, my school ve already acknowledged it

biolaowo:
Thanks so much for the reply
2 didn’t offer me admission why others didn’t reply. But I feel I am not doing something right.
I studied chemical engineering and I applied for anything close to chemical engineering like process system engineering or chemical engineering itself
Thirdly I submitted all the required documents

Some schools are like that... They don't reply. And that's not cool. I am sure you even paid application fee.

Your cgpa isn't bad at all. And you said your last two years' grades from undergraduate study were decent.

Could it be that you have been submitting applications to some of these highly ranked schools? There's usually competition for space in these schools.

I'll advise you submit an application to one highly ranked school and one school (not highly ranked) to improve your chances.

University of Calgary , Waterloo Alberta Dalhousie . I have spent over $500 applying ! Just tired

Try out another university that is suitable for you, but is likely to have lower competition for space.

And try out another university that isn't any of those stated, and establish a rapport (occasional enquiries) with the person assigned to you by the admission committee to keep you informed about things they need you to submit...

All the schools I sent applications to, there was always a school representative I could email. I always received feedback from them.

Must u attend a university? Try colleges if uni is out of reach to u

Which confirmation letter is this, I have a mutual funds letter and would like to use such letter to show as proof.

It's confirmation of investment. If your fund is with Stanbic Asset Management, just put a call through to request for a confirmation on your investment for Visa purpose. It will cost you 2k and TAT is 48hours.

From his expression, he has decent grades, and universities may not be out of reach for him. He can still send applications to one or two universities if he is not too concerned about rankings.

He still has some good chances.

Another option, as specified by @marcelonwa, is to send applications to colleges.

So, now you have all the info you need.

Good evening everyone, first time to post on Nairaland. I have read alot here and you guys are really wonderful. Thank you all for your help. Please someone should help me, my sponsor, my aunty stays in US. She is a nurse, and have stayed more than 25 years over there. She is well established, and willing to help me. She said I should let her know all documents that will be needed from her as my sponsor, I know my case is not unique, those that used US sponsors successfully should also contribute and guide me properly. Thank you all

She should also do affidavit of support and have it stamped at the court ,You’d also state how you’re related in your own letter of sponsorship .She should also send scanned copy of her passport and birth certificate .If she’s not married yet or has children you can state this I don’t know if it helps tho but I did state it .Then proof of relationship if you have any pictures you took with her or anything to show you both communicate well .I hope this helps .I forgot to add bank statement or bank draft tho I used both .If she can provide it .The bank draft my aunt got was four months bank draft tho depends on the size so it won’t affect when you want to upload your documents

,

Gurus in the house. I am really tired of applying to schools. I had 4.06/ 5 with good last 2 years GP in Chemical engineering. I have applied to over 5 Canadaian schools, no admission offered till now. Please I need help and guidance

guy try USA pls. Your cgpa is nice

Dear all, thanks everyone and all the gurus in the house,taking out time to respond to questions.
I submitted my application on the 23th March,went for my biometrics on the 30th.
I received NSE request same 30th and today I tried uploading the documents.
At the point of submitting the doc,it requested payment info and I got confused.
Someone should kindly clarify the meaning of that cos I couldn't continue.
Am I expected to pay some kind of fee after the initial 235Cad?
Please help!!!

Important question since you are in Engineering.

-What are you applying for, MSC or MENG?

If Msc, let people review your sop, and be sure it matches the ongoing research within the department.

If its MEng, with this your GPA you should at least get one school if you’re doing things right.

biolaowo:
I am serious. Some uni i applied to 2 programs

That's serious

I would suggest you try the cold mail approach (i.e mailing a Professor whose research interests/areas aligns with yours, most especially research areas you have prior research experience in). If a Prof. accepts you after sending your cold mail to him, you are good to go, you can be sure if you pay application for this, your money is well spent, infact there are chances application fee can be waived for you.

The link I posted initially have information about COLD MAIL & how you can draft one.

See the link below, you would see other Universities offering
Masters in Chemical Engineering in Canada
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Chemical+Engineering&program_level_merged=Master%27s+degree&program_language=ENGLISH

Alternatively,

Try USA (as mentioned above by an honorable member), they have lot of Chemistry/Chemical Engineering Masters program that are Fully-funded, you can also get Graduate Assistantship, Teaching Assistantship etc.
Infact with your CGPA, if you package your application well, you can get a direct PHD program with your BSC in the U.S, al

The Cold Mail approach is also very essential in getting Funding for USA

I studied a similar course. I applied to Concordia university and University of Windsor. Got admission in both but I chose university of Windsor. I believe you'll also get admission there.

Please can I have your contact please ! Thanks in advance! You can message me on WhatsApp 08067311399

Bro, what would you advise I do?

I have been accepted for graduate program in Economics by two universities.

One is giving me scholarship and GA, but it's in the US

One is not providing me full-funding but it's in Canada (just 30% funding)

I have no problem with paying tuition in Canada, but who doesn't like Awoof?

Canada's citizenship package makes sense.

If you had to choose with these conditions, which would you take?

In my own opinion, this can be looked at in different perspectives, but in a nutshell, I feel it depends on ones choice, present financial status & long term goals.

Someone who got Full Funding in the US for a GA (e.g MS Assistantship, PHD Assistantship) can finish & do a PHD in Canada (with 70-80% chances of it being funded) and still work towards the Canadian Citizenship goals.

In your own scenerio, since money no be problem (in Sarkordie's Voice) and Canada Citizenship is the goal, you can go for CANADA (with the 30% funding). It will be better if its a PHD cos many PHD students are potential/automatic graduate assistant to the Prof. they are working with, most esp. if it's an Economics graduate program that requires you to get a Supervisor (Professor).

Like I said initially, those 3-factors mentioned above can be a determinant to ones choice/decision on this.

Let me tell you a real life example

There is one Amazing Scholar on twitter who dish out anything scholarship and how to get one in different parts of the world, he goes by the handle @drolumuyiwa, he is presently a Post Doc at the Mycology/Microbiology Dept. Of UBC.

He did his Masters in Korea (KGSP Scholarship), did his PHD in Germany (I think via DAAD), now at UBC as a PostDoc, if am not mistaken, he is now a PR or on the verge of becoming a PR. You can notice he had international education in two different Continents (Asia & Europe), before coming to Canada (North America).

With wetin this Bros do, No be lie, Canada Citizenship package is fantabolous, las las that would likely be the end product of someone who go US go study.

My Conclusion,
I will go for the US cos it will make me acquire Work Experience as a GA which is Post-secondary teaching and research assistants under NOC A, but schooling in Canada might not afford me to do a Job that can count as a work experience to gain points for Express Entry, most especially if it's not a NOC A, B job, as per say na part time job to pay bills Canada dey offer most international students and many of them no be NOC A,B jobs.

This your question is an interesting one, I go like see more contribution/inputs of other members on top this matter

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation.

It's indeed a very tricky situation to be in.

I greet all the gurus in the house. Please what's the implication of getting a 1year pgwp for a graduate certificate course and a 3year pgwp for a 2year diploma course in a college for someone that intends to apply for PR in the future? Please help to respond urgently. Thanks

You should use it as an auxiliary proof of funds not the primary POF for your visa application. My reason for saying this is because most visa officers at the High Commission of Canada have some skepticism about mutual funds as they ponder that funds in this account have encumbrances and other obligations and you will not have full access to funds. As a consequence, you can include it to support your financial establishment not your primary POF.


It will end in praise

But in the reference letter they provide its bodly stated that client has access to funds without any form of encumbrances.
