Hello folks,

I would lke to give kudos to you all for your tireless efforts and info.
I have been a silent reader on the site, and i have followed few of the outlined steps in applying for my Msc in canada.
I applied to USASK and UBC, I succeeded in paying application fees but never went beyond that. i mailed some supervisors at both universities but my mail wasnt attended to.
I hold a first degree (with a second class lower)in pharmacy from a federal university in Nigeria, am considering MSC in any of the branches of pharmacy.
please kindly give your advice on how best to approach this

See if you can contact this moniker (Mizbaby) she read pharmacy and got Msc, may be she can guide you. I read pharmacy too but am not doing Msc so i cant advice you on that. if you read part 7 or 8 there is also a rxcist doing public health at Usask see if you can find her.

brderly I was also delayed on purpose of visit my question is ..does business administration which I read during my schoolling days nd human resources mgt don't go together Am rili baffled here ..I need ans pls

I'll continue to say this, its not about how related your course is, all this ups n downs of VO's is still on Gods doing. I know pple who has been granted TRV for pgd who has Msc degree in Nigeria. We all have to pray for Gods mercy, getting ur TRV is more than just submitting all the docs in this world, if ur prev edu is not inline wt ur program, atleast ur current employment should be related to d program, and get a good SOP to convince the VO. Coupled with prayer, u'll get it.

NonelikeGod:
Photocopies except the statement of account, benk reference letter, sponsorship letter

All letters addressed to the embassy wud b in originals and all other docs wud b photocopy. If u can get certified true copy of all ur photocopies, its a good approach, what is worth doing at all is worth doin well.

yemdogg:


Sometimes it's not just about program inconsistency.

In your sop, u must highlight your prospects and the opportunity your intending program will afford you. Business administration is keenly related to hrm. Buh maybe you didn't address what your future plans and projection is. Did you state how lucrative the program is ? The VOs want to know if the program you're going for will benefit you career wise in your country upon conclusion of the program. If you don't address this issue there's high probability that the VO would delay you.

These VOs are not God they don't know everything. So it's your job to educate them on the relationship between your previous degree and your intending program. It's not just enough for you to think that because you feel that your previous degree is related to intending program that the VO would know too. Use your sop to adumbrate well on the correlation between your previous degree and your intending program.

Also it's always advisable to talk more on your employment prospects upon conclusion of your program and upon return to your country.

Choose programs that are obviously very much in high demand in Nigeria and make sure you paint the program as very lucrative in Nigeria. The essence of studying abroad is for you to further or upgrade your career and to return to your country. So the vo would want to see how your program will fetch you good paying jobs and opportunities in Nigeria.

Thanks for d detailed info. I av said this before i fink i shud say it again, if ur proposed study program is not related to ur previous degree(s), then, it shud b inline with ur current employment.

Hello everyone,

I need your honest candid advice on this.

Suppose you've a masters degree & you're looking forward to leaving naija soonest, would you rather apply for the express entry or go for PhD assuming funds isn't an issue.

NB: I just got rejected based on "purpose of visit" for applying for PGD.

Ur rejection is not connotative on ur program (PGD) u need to look at some points: is ur proposed program inline with ur current employment? Did u submit a detailed SOP telling d VO ur prospect as regards d course? Dis r som of d background checks u need 2 see amongst others. We have pple wt Msc and was given TRV wt PGD/PGC admission. Sometimes its advisable to pay full tuition fees b4 submitting ur app if u find ursef in dat situation provided ur school has return policy in case of denial, it wud go a long way to speak on ur commitment to ur program

Since your previous degree language of instruction is English.... You may not need English language proficiency test. Considering the fact that you have a bsc already from a Nigerian University.

I feel obliged to put in a word of encouragement to my brothers and sisters, i am beneficiary of your kindness to one another, over the past few months there is no day that goes by that i do not check this thread for clues on how to approach my study permit application.

I had concerns my scenario was different considering i intended to apply from Vietnam, a place i have called home for the past 5 years. i was worried if the VO would call my BS if i said i intend to go back home when am done with my studies in Canny, i was my biggest critics of my chances due to this fact.

If there was anything that kept me going, it was the encouragement shown here via support to one another. it braved me up on what documents i needed to get, it helped me approach the study permit application objectively while taming my emotions.

I applied for study permit ending of July, this morning i got notified my application has been approved. the processing time here in Vietnam is 4wks, hence the speedy application.

"It is not how long but how well" - that is what my brother told me when i started getting anxious, he reminded me that what i really wanted was a good outcome. my point being irrespective of what happens what really want is a good feedback which is why we can always try till we have one.

My fellow PGD/PGC applicant you cannot lose hope, dispatch any conspiracy theory of how your chances are limited and focus on how to consume the information on this thread before applying. Faith without the right actions is meaningless, educate yourself on knowledge shared here, and let your prayer start from the wisdom to do the right thing, there is a reason some define wisdom as the right application of knowledge.

Shout out to @yemdogg for always being there for others, Part 10 of this thread is not complete without you and @michV

Shout out to Oga Siga, even in your silence you have inspired others in the past who are doing the same now to others.

What else can i say? Tdot kan, Seneca kan?

Hi guys, please help a brother, I really want to no if public Administration and pgd in business administration relate,,,based on the kind of refusal am seeing here is not really funny at all, submitted early June up till now no medical call and my school starts on 29th of this month....I guess one has to contact school today for deferral, I can't just risk my tuition.

Sebho:
