Thank you ketima. I had like a 4.02 cgpa in my last 2 years of undergrad. My overall gpa is about 3.59. [quote author=Ketima post=109763483] Hello Rubby22, For Masters in Canada, 2:1 is the benchmark but then, due to competition, what level of 2:1 did you come out with and your last 2 year UG CGPA. Someone with BEng 4.34 in Civil Engr, applied to Manitoba, Simon Fraser, Saskatchewan. Simon Fraser and Manitoba denied him, only Sask admitted him. |

fogechi: Payslips for the salary received, promotion letter,bonuses,incentives and probably other side businesses you did to get that much funds. The fund your documents can't prove, explain it in your sop. The truth is in as much it is a plus to have so such money to show, eyebrows can be raised when it is too much and it's source not completely spelt out 3 Likes |

Hello everyone, So I have been offered an admission at university of Winnipeg (PACE) post graduate human resource management diploma program. I am to email them a copy of IRCC letter that confirms I am eligible for a study permit ( port of entry or letter of introduction) How do I go about this please? |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by makano: 1:44pm On Jan 30, 2022 |
Ok Ruby So far you can convince the visa officer of the relationship between your Job description and your proposed study just like you have briefly explained, and also how your proposed study will benefit you and your career on your return back to your home country, then you are good to go..

Perfectyyyyyy: It is very possible, but the person may be too young to know or investigate options avaliable. Most 19 year old are just trying to enjoy their life. How can a 19 year old diploma graduate do it? Get a 3 year work permit and start working as soon as graduation, preferably in your school province. Read about provincial nomination and apply after one year work experience. Most provinces give provincial nomination to their international graduates, and your person will even qualify more with one year Canadian work experience. For more info, read the Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker thread. Thanks. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Osemigho: 2:07pm On Jan 30, 2022 |
Teemenzo: Applicant is a 19 year old going for diploma. Applicant will be atleast 21 by graduation. If Applicant work extra two years on 3 years work permit, Applicant will be 23. With education and work experience in Canada, Applicant will be well qualified for provincial nomination. Do you still doubt it is possible? Maybe I need to introduce you to someone that did it and she is no even reach 23 when she became PR. 1 Like |

Teemenzo: Some province offer provincial nomination to their international graduate or worker without using any score or ranking e.g. Alberta. For others that use provincial system ranking, their graduates and workers earn extra points to boost their chances. Thanks. |

Divinedxtrovert: I understand. Like I said recently, applicant would probably be too young to know, investigate, or put in the effort required. I didn't know you were the applicant. I just know most people at that age will avoid complex situations. The simplest and most straightforward route is through bachelors. So, you have made a very good choice. All the best with your visa and studies. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by technix: 2:53pm On Jan 30, 2022 |
You will have the IRCC letter when you apply for study visa and it's approved. Then you can send the letter to your school. tayogbade: |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Osemigho: 3:04pm On Jan 30, 2022 |
adespecial: First, your friend doesn't know anything about PhD admission, and probably any admission and visa, in Canada. You will be highly qualified and competitive for a PhD if you have a first class again. Why? 1. You have done 2 masters, which means a lot of graduate coursework and experience. Going back for a research masters shows you are highly interested in a PhD. 2. Your masters are in two different schools and country. A lot of Supervisors like people with more international experience. If you get a first class again, it will you can study and excel anywhere. Now to your question about if you can apply now. You may not be able to apply now. Most PhD admission is for Sepember and application deadline is around January and February. Most PhD admission in Canada will also require that you have supervisor before you apply. Applying without a supervisor, when it is required, is gambling. You won't have completed your program by September 2022 and you dont have a supervisor now. So I won't advise you to apply now. However, I can give you a plan to follow that will likely guarantee your admission and student visa for September 2023. Write it down if you want to and others might add to or correct it. 1. Attend more conferences, volunteer more (longer duration is better), organizer or lead student union in your department or school, be a Teaching or Research Assisant, and publish some conferennce or journal articles if you can. These will help your CV or resume immensely. 2. Start supervisor search around June 2022. You will have to check all the profile of professors in each school that have your PhD program. Email those that are doing research in your current and preferred area of interest. Supervisors Iike student that have done something in their field before. If your current SA supervisor come know and can recommend you to professors in Canada, that's even golden. Most professors take their network very serious. They act like cult, research cult, and are more likely to accept you because of their network recommendation. Some will go as far as find you another supervisor if they don't have space at that moment. 3. Start saving money, but don't apply to schools that offer no full PhD scholarship. If you get another first class, you are highly qualified for a full PhD scholarship. Avoid schools that does not offer it. PhD is a lot of sacrifice of time and potential salary. Except you are going for something like computer science, which is highly lucrative now, you may end up jobless or struggling to find a good job after graduating. Canadian employers prefer work experience over education, especially after bachelors degree. So, a PhD without a full scholarship is not worth it. Remember to save money from now. With your savings and scholarship, you won't need any sponsor for your visa. 4. Apply for admission after you get supervisor, patiently wait for your admission letters (I belive you will get many if you plan it well), choose your preferred school, and apply for visa around December 2022 to February 2023. You may need to find out your temporary SA option. I think SA offers PR to their masters graduate. This will allow you to stay in SA till you complete your Canada admission and visa while in SA. I know this is an option because I have a friend that immigrated from SA to Canada. He finished his masters there and received their PR. He immigrated to Canada because Canada is better economically and policy wise. Unlike Canada, SA only gave his children, born in SA, PR. 8 think you have to stay 5 or 10 years after PR to become citizen. So I understand if you prefer Canada. These are the things I can remember for now. However, I know you may likely not do anything about them. First time nairaland posters or applicants are often undecided nor understand the resiliency required for Canada admission, visa, or immigration. I hope you and others from it sha. My post is also open to corrections and more suggestions. All the best. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

And the points based you are talk8ng is same as the score i am talking about. I guess you misundertsood me. SINP uses points too. O hope you understand what i had explained earlier. This thing is not hard at all. IRCC and all the provinces spelt it out right. |

Anon123: You can find the answer to your question by clicking on the link below. Post graduate work permit can only be extended only if at the time of getting your PGWP your passport had some few months left to expire and since you can't be issued a pgwp longer than your passport expiry date , in such a case either you would be told by IRCC to submit a new passport to get your full lenght pgwp or you would be given a pgwp to last you till your passport expires . Then after bringing a new passport your PGWP would be extended to cover the remaining months or years left for your full PGWP. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/post-graduation-work-permit-program/permit.html 4 Likes 1 Share |

Now she has renewed her passport and wants to apply for a pgwp extension. My query is, isnt pgwp extension applied online and not paper. |

Hey guys, Please, because GCMS note is taking too long to get, I want to crack on with my application blindly, but I would like to know from the experience you guys have, what could be the reason for refusal based on "current employment situation", when the individual is employed? Help me, please. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Teemenzo: 4:10pm On Jan 30, 2022 |
GentleBobo: Don't do it blindly, the reasons in the notes are always much. That they gave just one generic reason might mean four intertwined reasons that needs to be address. I was also refused in my first application and those VOs don't really put it all out except you get your notes. When did you apply for the notes? 1 Like |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by technix: 4:31pm On Jan 30, 2022 |
With a 2.2, it's extremely rare to get admitted for masters. Just go for post graduate diploma, graduate certificate or post-baccalaureate diploma. walecosby: |
