Good evening house,

My masters program is a 2year program and i have funds that can cover the tuition,room and board and 'others' cost for these two years. I am preparing a table detailing the total amount of funds in my statement of account submitted and the total cost of studies for 2 years.After i do this it would be visible to see that i ve enof to cover this expenses and some change left

Now i am aware that CIC requires to see proof of funds for the first year only in a 2 year program provided their is a way to also proof that their is a projected income stream that can cover the cost of the second studies year but as i do not have an income stream or a sponsor i decided to show the total cost of two years since i ve sufficient funds to cover it.


now while filling the 1MM form i am at a dilemna as to what figures to put in there be it for 1 years cost of studies or 2.The reason i think i shud present my cost of studies for 2years n not 1 year is that i want them to see upfront that theres enof funds for the 2yrs so they dont refuse me based on sighting cost/funds only for the 1yr with no projections on how the 2nd year's cost would be covered.

opinions needed pls.

With 2.2, it's never impossible for you to get straight masters admission the point is just that some schools are highly competitive that number of applicants usually exceed the number of their intakes. In such schools, a 2.2 graduate may have slim chance of admission.
I will advise you should not apply to the top-notch schools like waterloo, McGill, Alberta,Toronto....as their admission requirements are very high and highly competitive (good grades of like 4.7-8/5.0 with some other factors like working experience, awards of excellence,...been considered for admission decision)
Note- you're competing with applicants from various parts of the world, so they always set their standard very high.
The second option is, some schools in Canada do offer a year pre-masters program which is non-certificate program before masters program, Carleton university offers that. But you will have to send an E-mail to their admission department first to know much about it and the type of form you have to fill for that.
The truth is that, masters admission with 2.2 grade is not impossible cos a lot of people on this thread has actually gotten it.
Please this is just my humble opinion base on my knowledge so far.

rshinela:
thanks so much for responding i was thinking of doing nursing since i plan staying back after school, so am looking for a course that is lucrative and in high demand there, i graduated with a 2.2 i.e second class lower so dont know if i can do straight master if is possible will prefare that. so what do you think which schools should i look into?

Go by the requirement of CIC, at least 1year. Information on that study permit form matters a lot. Hence any other clarification should be done in writing as LOE

THANKS A LOT

No sh*t bro,I get your point.

Gone are those days Bro. To even surf through this thread these days ehn it's discouraging. So boring.

.....Yemo baba! Your contributions here then were so on point.
The thread is just too boring these days.
I guess so many people retired to being a silent follower since after they've been insulted for their contributions...lawmerchant esp.
Its all good sha. So good to read your comment this night. I tried chatting you on WhatsApp weeks back but you're not responding.

LONG POST ALERT
RANT AHEAD

I would like to request that anyone who PMs me should please not ask questions that can be answered by doing a thirty-second Google search. This is extremely frustrating!

I have spent at least one hundred hours of my own unpaid personal time over the past year and half volunteering to provide information, review documents, etc for applicants on this thread, yet I still receive emails from people (who have supposedly been on this thread for a while) asking me trivial questions like "how much should I have in my bank account?", etc. It is disheartening to receive questions that I and many others have already repeatedly and tirelessly answered on this thread.

I also constantly receive extremely badly written SOPs with grammatical and logical errors (or glaring contradictory lies) everywhere. If you are not willing to rid your SOP of dozens of grammatical errors, how do you expect a visa officer or admissions committee to consider you to be a serious student?

I just can't understand how some people claim to want to go to graduate school in Canada yet are not willing to do the most basic research for themselves. This is so discouraging.

By the way, it's not all bad. There are several applicants on here that make my day! I have made really good friends in some of the serious people here. But they are few and far between. Please I am not saying everyone on this thread is this way, and I am not trying to put anyone down.

There are tons of online resources to improve your writing and grammar. Stop being intellectually lazy. Start reading books. Start working on yourself. Prayer will not get you your visa; life is about strategically and intelligently putting in the necessary work. Vaccines didn't just drop from the sky, bright biomedical researchers developed them. Stop planning to reap where you did not sow.

I can't help you if you are not willing to help yourself. If you plan to send me an email asking me questions, first do a Google search or read through the thread (you don't have to start from Part 1, even a "mere" 50 pages will answer a lot of your questions... alternatively, read my periodic posts that summarize the thread and/or view my comment history on my profile starting from page zero to the last one) or check to see if any of the "gurus" on here have addressed it in the past. If you wanna send me your SOP, please do not even bother sending it if it is riddled with grammatical errors and glaringly incomprehensible writing. I can only help those who want to help themselves.

Good day my people in nairaland. I submitted my application on the 7th of September and biometric on the 8th. So I received a mail that my application for study permit was refused. Purpose of visit was ticked
I pay all the school fees of 17910 Canadian dollars.
I informed my uncle in the Us and he told me to appeal it and that he'll give me affidavit of support. Please as anyone appealed refusal of visa. I didn't want to say no. But I want ask my seniors here. Thank you

Guys do u advise i send a mail to CIC? my application is now 15weeks and school is supossed to resume Jan9

michV:
oga J..this your e to that moniker sweet my belly.in the past years when i s

Mich, what can one do nah? You've said it all. That's how one moniker called me " e-rat". I am yet to recover from that. Thanks to Justwise who wisely did the needful.
#gently strolling by#

I just went through the thread and I am on the lookout for emma4eva, I hope the moniker is right? You were asked to do another medical test right?

I am passionate about the outcome of the advice given you and if it is not too much you could click on my moniker to check my experience as regards a request for a fresh medicals when the previous one wasn't yet expired. It might just help. I went to Consultant Practice for a fresh one, thanks to Hayqinxfb's advice .

I did the medical test july 27th dis year, i got medical passed 2 days later, though i was denied aftwrwards. I have sent a mail to accra attaching my medical information sheet, if i dont get any reply by monday or tuesday, i will go for a new medical test on wednesday. Thanks for ur concern.

Hey Guys good to see how helpful you all are, really inspiring ooo. My problem now I have two degrees from the UK (Masters in Pharmacy and a Masters in business and management) However you know how the UK is now very xenophobic and difficult, if you aren't a citizen the struggle triples. So I decided to apply for an 8 month graduate certificate program in supply chain management and logistics in Canada, I got and admission into Seneca college for January 2017, I am currently still in the UK on my student visa which expires in January 2017 and decided to try my luck applying for a Canada study permit from here . I know very stupid of me but I'm sure you guessed as much I got a sweet REJECTION LOL

Reason:
You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay. In reaching this
decision, I considered several factors, including:
Travel history
immigration status in country of residence
Purpose of visit.

Documents attached via online application route:
Letter of acceptance
Sponsor letter from my brother saying he is my sponsor
Brothers bank statement (savings account with sufficient funds)
his pay slips from his UK job
Passport and Biometric residence( in the Uk that's the visa thingy)
The family information document provided online
Two passport photographs as they stated.

Perhaps I should have gone back home to apply, anyways I got another admission to Fanshawe college for the graduate certificate program in MAY 2017, and defo applying from Naija. Please guys any words of advice on how to re-apply successfully with anger? I know the course is kinda questionable sha but the plan is to enter the system by doing this course and familarise myself with Pharmacy there so I could practice soon by God's grace.

Thanks in advance...

bro u can't prove d 2 years fees on dere ( CIC ) application form, secondly dey require prove of one year, but since u are goin to b self sponsor, i wiĺl say ur SOA should read d extra year included funds and u can throw a little lite on it on ur SOP, if u are including SOP

Hello everyone, this is the biggest forum so far in the travel section. Keep on with the good work .. Please, my enquiry is about visitor visa to Canada. I have a conference to attend in Montreal in mid March 2017. I want to know if it is still feasible to get the visa within this short time frame. Also, what visa office does one address their letter from sponsor to? I understand they have no visa office in Nigeria. what is the minimum amount that should be in my sponsor's account? I have started the online route already but I am having some challenges with completing my application. What general advice can you give me concerning visitor visa to Canada. I hope to hear from someone soon. Thank you. Success to all applicants on the forum.. Cheers

How do I get affordable but good flight deals to Canada. It's only a 10 day trip, I don't want to spend a fortune on flight ticket alone

hello guys,

i am new on this forum(a silent observer) and i have cause to say THANK YOU to all the gurus and the likes for your kindness in offering guidance to various applicants. May God bless you all.

@[quote][/quote]@nelly28 Hey thanks for replying mehn actually it was an Mpharm (Master of Pharmacy) course here in the UK for four years then I worked for a year and then did a Masters in Business and Management program for another year. So in essence the Supply Chain Graduate certificate program doesn't count? I assumed that the supply chain course would be essential in most Pharmaceutical companies ( plus further useful arguments).

Lemme drop this nutshell for you..
1) Real recognizes real. (@pen, when i was refused TRV, a matured married lady though silent follower, from this thread PMd me and asked if financial reason was the reason behind my refusal so that she could assist me to quickly reapply,i told her finances is never the problem,it's just the PGC i opted for. Sincerely i was overwhelmed.thanks to her if she is silently reading this.this is why I said real recognizes real

Visiting takes about 6weeks for you to get a response. The high commission of Canada in Lagos... Anifowose, off Adeola odeku is the office that treats visiting applications.
It is not late to apply now. Sponsor should have a very good flow (in and out) and its safer you have an invitation.
Mail me when you need to book cheap flights.
