For Intending or already students of Conestoga college we av a group on telegram but the group is all about linking nigerian students together and sharing information abt how to get accommodation, jobs and other good stuffs it's not a group to help with questions about anything study permit.

Good evening everyone,please are there any intending students to St. Paul university for the fall session?

If you go through the centennial college website very well, you will find that there are different contacts for admission for different region. africa@centennialcollege.ca is the one for our region.

PPR Alert Guys!!!

P:S The application is for my fiancée. However, I was 100% involved in the second application. (we started dating in 2021)

Second Application - November 5th, 2021
First application in 2020 was refused based on purpose of visit, home ties and personal assets.

A quick backstory he has was studying for Masters and applied for a Post Graduate Certificate. He disclosed this in his first application.

What he I feel he did wrong in the first application:
1. He was not done with the Masters at the time he applied in 2020. (He studied in an Asian country)
2. His course of study did not really align with his background and he did not properly explain the reason for choosing that program in his SOP.
3. The Masters program is higher than the PGC Certificate.
4. Personal assets ( no need going into much details). We all know how IRCC operates with this refusal reason. Having enough money is not really a guarantee.

What we did differently:
1. Requested for GCMS notes, analyzed the refusal reasons and how to tackle them.
2. Changed course of study to a more related course. Though we still maintained a PGC
3. Had his sponsor Deposit his living expenses in his account.
4. Wrote a well structured letter of explanation and statement of purpose highlighting how the course of study will impact him and his home country and the opportunities available in this field in Nigeria.
5. Attached landed documents.
6. Added a co-sponsor for elaborate demonstration of proof of funds.
7. Prayed fervently.

Note: We still went ahead with the application despite him not being done with the Masters still. Although, it was properly explained in the LOE.(for once strong head don good).

*Application Submitted: November 5th, 2021
*Submission Confirmation: November 6th
*Medical Request: 21st January, 2022

Last last na God run everything. All glory belongs to him alone!!!

Thanks to Nairaland and you all that steadily give value on this thread. Everything I know and applied on the application was from this thread. I never travel before��. I appreciate you all. Those that answered my questions, may God bless you. I wish everyone in waiting PPR. Amen!

Omiinii:
Let me add the attached to support your statement. A case that was taken to federal court and that what was the DOJs take on the case. People need to understand it's not rosy at all and you need to plan things ahead even before entering canada if you want things to be easy for you.

Thanks for sharing the note. It is definitely not as easy as many people think, but it will be better than Nigeria for most applicant. They just have to plan it well.

Some programs are nothing but buzzwords that schools are hoping to cash in on. That is why you see a lot one year program flying everywhere. Your job is to make sure your program is sustainable, competitive, related to your goals and aspiration.

No school will help you to look for job or even care that much after you graduate (expect you become a star or bilionaire and they need you to improve their public image or budget through donations). They will only give you the certificate and classroom knowledge you paid for. Make sure you get the best value for what you are going to pay for.

Congratulations!

But why does IRCC keep applicants waiting for soo long before taking a decision...imagine 1 whole year, nawao.
Thank God it finally ended in praise and may the land of Canada favour you...amen!

PPR finally dropped at 12 months after application! Thanks to everyone that has helped me with one clarification or another on this platform. More goodnews on the way for us all���

Good day everyone, trust we are all doing fine. Pls, under my status, my review of eligibility says “your application is in process, we will message you when we start reviewing your eligibility”, does that means my eligibility hasn’t started? I’m August 28th applicant

Chinnychappy:
Hi Osemigho.. Thanks for all your detailed contributions.. Please does master thesis in computer science allow for summer breaks ?

Masters in computer science is one of the most lucrative degrees right now, thanks to the growing power of computer technology, covid, and booming remote work and learning. Most 2 year masters have summer breaks. However, students often spend it writing their thesis or project. Considering how booming computer science is right now, I will focus on school and graduating rather than summer hustle.

To give you an idea why this is the best time to graduate and enter job market, I know a candidate with about 4-years experience and msc computer science from Nigeria. He is rounding up his PhD in computer science in Canada. His supervisor was delaying his graduation and he became PR while waiting for his thesis defence. Since he is a PR, he focused on applying for professional jobs and got multiple offers over $130,000 per year. He finally accepted one of about $140k.

In summary, get in and complete your program fast. Focus less on summer hustle, but feel free to do summer internship or student position in computer science related field and if allowed. This will give you the highly valuable canadian experience on your resume. The job market is till very favorable and sweet for your field. All the best.

That means they're the same thing

So there is no way a year programme can earn you your PGWP after graduating?? Wow. How do one get there PR then

Omiinii:
Even lawyers wouldn't advise you to go for a program that only guarantees 1 year PGWP. Everyone's goal is different. Some just want to get the canada. Whatever happens afterwards doesn't concern them while some want to benefit as well by gaining status. PR/Citizenship. If your goal is the latter, A 1 year program shouldn't even be on your radar. Get it right. There's nothing to leverage with a one year PGWP. No need for me to even explicate further.

Hello Emeify1

Am not sure if you got a response already but let me add my bit.
You can run 2 years advance diploma in Nursing related courses e.g pallitive care, critical care nursing etc, to your second question, Nope if you refer to diploma nursing graduate in Nigeria studying Bsc in Canada using Nigeria studies as edge, to the third Yes you can register and take NCLEX, it's a professional exam for International Nurses usable in UK, US, Canada, once you pass you can practice in those countries using your experinec as Nurse in Nigeria (UK requires IELTS, Canada will not if you can prove your language proficiency). There will always be an option to explore, either by Diploma in Nursing related courses or professional exams to help achieve your immigration dreams to Canada as a Nurse.

Hope it helps

emeify1:
Hello. I need some help with the following please? For a registered nurse in Nigeria that went through the midwifery council of Nigeria, what level of study would they be able to go for that their RN certificate will be accepted
Then are people who have diploma in Nursing allowed to go for nursing? Will they get visa easily or any Nigerians not given visas for nursing?
Thirdly, can a registered nurse just write the Canada nursing certificate exams from Nigeria or they have to go to Canada first as a student?

OK thanks for the response, but will the tuition fee be refunded if one keeps reapplying and in the end decides to quit, *just curious about the huge amount involved in tuition

makano:
Hello

Noting.. You keep trying if you are still interested in your Canadian dream...

Personally I know someone who has gotten a refusal 6 times and got his Visa the seventh time..

Peace

A year program would give you 1year PGWP.

Osemigho:


Aviod one year programs if you want easy 2-3 PGWP. Going from one program to another is not easy and doing two unrelated courses is definitely not good for your profile. Now, about the programs you mentioned at UofC. UofC is a great school, but some of those programs are not lucrative or competitive.

For myself, I will aviod any education program in project management. Project management is industry related and approach might vary per industry or technical experience. A person with a 2 year diploma and 4 years of construction experience will get a construction-related project management job before someone with a project management degree and zero construction experience.

I don't know much about the digital marketing field, but it sounds like an ordinary buzzword to me. With my 4+ years experience in Canada, I will definitely not invest my money and time in such program. The final one, business analytics is definitely interesting and there are a lot of jobs currently in that field. I may do that but it might not be a good choice for you.

You see my options are related to my experience and needs, but not yours. So you will have to ask yourself what you want. However, if you were my brother, I will encourage you do go for SAIT program i recommended because it is cheaper in total (35k+ tuition for the two years), related to your OND, and have a one year internship (usually full time paid and exeprience in canada is more valuable than schooling). The program also get you a bachelors degree. A degree is usually the minimum requirement for most senior level positions in canada. When you get to that stage, having a diploma and post diploma might not cut it. I am a university of calgary alumni, but I will choose that SAIT program before any of the UofC program you mentioned based on the points I mentioned.

About student visa, no program or person can guarantee it. However, a higher education program compared to applicant last education improves its chances. In your case, a bachelor's degree is higher than ordinary diploma. A PGC/D is also higher than ordinary diploma. So the choice is yours.

All the best.

Wow! I perfectly understood everything you said. Thank you so much brother you deserve the best.

I think I will go for SAIT but writing the SOP to make the VO. Understand might be little bit difficult but I'm sure with collective ideas it will work.

The degree would it be called Bachelor degree or Applied Bachelor degree? And after successful completion of this program/degree would I be able to go for masters straight?

Well, I think applying for both visas at entirely different times would have been better. Applying for Spouse Open Work Permit (SOWP) and visitors visa within thesame period of time may give the VO an impression that you wouldn't come back again. It shows some elements of desperation.

But however, I so much believe in the grace of God. Wait for a decision to be taken as regards your SOWP application, then and then you would know the further steps to take.

Kindly keep us informed on the outcome...it will end in your favor.

Awas:


i applied for SOWP and also the new visitors visa later on. the visitors visa was rejected saying they are not satisfied that i will leave canada at the end of my visit. the SOWP is still pending. please what do you advise.

The easy way is to check each school, then department of your choice, then research area, then the professors working in the area. Some professors write on their personal websites when they are recruiting graduate students. Even if you don't see adverts on the websites, you can still reach out to them and express your interest. Often, when a professor accepts you, you will get funded by the professor or the department or both.

Bro! My program is 1yr .. like 12 Months and my last 4 months is Coop internship and it’s in mobile application development. Hope it’s not a wrong move ?

What do you think about a 2years PGD course in Business Management-Human Resource? It has 4months Co-op. Someone mentioned on quora that more establishments in Canada will not hand over their HR department to a black man because they would feel the black can’t completely understand their work culture and laws?
