Hi Kaycee, no probs; I do whatever I can by God's grace. Switching programs after you arrive shouldn't be a problem in most cases. Just follow the application procedures and deadlines for the program you want, and if you're qualified, you'll get in. If you then need to adjust your study permit, just ask your school's office for international students for pointers and they will direct you/ As long as you are studying what you want and on track to achieving your goals. I honestly can't think of any negative effects of switching. Hope this helps. |

Ctemi: As a female going 2 canada 2 study,do d schools in canada allow pregnant ladies cos ve already apply 2 a school which am 2 resume by september Well, there is nothing to prevent anyone from being admitted to schools in Canada, as long as you are qualified. You might want to think through your decision carefully, however. You say you have applied. Have you been admitted? Have you thought about how you will cope with a child (on your own, maybe), in a foreign country, while trying to maintain your student status? If you have been admitted, have you thought about deferring your admission? There's a lot to think about. Being a foreign student can be challenging; being a new mother can also be difficult. Putting the two together... |

earthgreeners: Please are you schooling at Memorial University of Newfoundland? |
Re: Nigerian Students In Canada: How Do You Survive? by EMEKS86: 7:29pm On Mar 27, 2013 |
ifegy: Pls, do you know whether Memorial University of Newfoundland offers admission unconditionally? I really need to apply to the school, but no information on prior payment of Tuition fees before admission is stressed on their website. You know if they demand for tuition payment before issuing admission letter? |
Re: Nigerian Students In Canada: How Do You Survive? by ifegy: 8:28pm On Mar 27, 2013 |
EMEKS86: You typically have a to pay an application fee when you apply to schools, but you don't have to pay your tuition BEFORE they admit you. You pay your school fees after you become a student.

First of all *I'll bow my head down low* for the members of this room. U guys are indeed very helpful. I have one question. After getting a PG certificate from a Canadian College what next? Can one further their education say to Msc? And hw easy is the transition? I studied Elect Elect with a 2.2. I plan on doing a PG at Humber but my main goal is to get an Msc at the end the day. I await response (s) thanks. 1 Like |

sparta_300: First of all *I'll bow my head down low* for the members of this room. U guys are indeed very helpful. The best approach is to check with the school you want to do the Masters at, as to what their entry requirements are. If you are qualified, the transition is pretty straightforward- just apply to the school, obtain admission and adjust your study permit while you are here to reflect your new program. |

@ifegy thanks. I just realized my NECO certificate is missing, what can I do since a senior certificate must be presented and would they even accept NECO? |
Re: Nigerian Students In Canada: How Do You Survive? by ifegy: 7:23pm On Apr 10, 2013 |
ik.swiss: Please refer to the official Canadian government immigration site. The quotes below are from the link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/extend-stay.asp Working or studying in Canada Most visitors to Canada are not allowed to work or study in Canada without permission. You must apply for a work permit or a study permit before coming to Canada. If you are visiting Canada and you want to work or study, you must leave Canada and apply from your home country. |

sparta_300: @ifegy thanks. I just realized my NECO certificate is missing, what can I do since a senior certificate must be presented and would they even accept NECO? The best thing to do is to contact the school and ask what they will accept. Most schools have an international admissions office or staff who focus on international admissions in their admissions office, and they will tell you what kind of qualifications they require from applicants. They are familiar with educational systems around the world and they have their criteria as to what is acceptable. |

OMOBOLA k: Hi ifegy,kaycee and all pls am heading. To vancouvver island university will be arriving nanaimo on the 27th of aug ,pls will like to connect with my peeps already in VIU HI, you can try posting in this thread which is for students heading to Canada: https://www.nairaland.com/1229480/travelling-canada-part-4/265 You can also try connecting with the international students' office when you get there (or via email), asking about getting connected to other international students. As well, there might be an African/Nigerian students' association on campus. You can ask the international students' office or student affairs office about this, or check the listing of associations on the school's website. Or there might be a Nigerian association in the city-- try googling. All the best and hope you have a good stay there! |
