Good evening house. I applied for University of Alberta and filled the preliminary application form in october for the fall 2017 semester. They sent me a mail this evening that my application has not been approved for the next application stage. My course is MSC Petroleum Engineering and my UG gpa is 4.36/5.0 while my last two years were 4.08 and 4.64. Has anyone gone through this stage and how did you pass the preliminary application stage because I am about filling the form again since I still have time.

This guy you are always making sense . Kudos for being amazing!

Folaroyal:

But really IT Business Analysis is well in line with your UG. If there are no other reasons attached to employment (either current employment is not in line with proposed program also).... then you need to try and request your GCMS ..... I suspect other reasons. You need to be careful and be certain that even the MBA is ideal for your circumstance!..... Yes ... as awkward as that may sound but it's the truth!
Maybe if you are willing to answer some more questions to clear grey areas..
What line is your employment?... Let's align all.

your CGPA is very good....this same thing happened to me when i filled the pre application form of uni of saskatchewan....they told me they could not match me with a supervisor.....my advice is when filling the form,pay close attention to all questions and make sure you provide excellent answers to them...i have filled and sent another form to uni of saskatchewan...i'm hoping to get positive response this time. western university portal is not responding

@michV

thanks bro methinks the issue of immigration status has been settled once am gonna apply when i get to Naija, and my entry stamps and permit vignette will settle the travel history, on the purpose visit since already had an MSc and going for PGC and with a convincing SOP, should that be a problem, i have tried to pm you, but not getting response from you, you can pop in a request so as to add you and i will send you my SOP to help check n spot any faults in it, anyone willing to check for me as well should notify me pls. Thanks guys.

Thank you Austinpee4, your reply is highly appreciated. BTW, I'm a lady . You guys are really helpful on this forum. I'm glad to belong. I shall remain hopeful and keep praying. Nothing is impossible for God to do.

Lol, everything gonna be alright ok...you seems not to understand the kind of msg the school is trying to pass across. Let assume CIC request for new admission letter( i.e approval is certain) the school will not issue another letter for u as they noted earlier but they will tell you to reapply as a new applicant thereby paying another apps fees. You've nothing to lose, you just have to pay a new apps fee and you will be admitted then offer a new admission letter that carries then next intake date...Lobatan

I really do not know if am the one who does not understand what this message is saying....I am quite interested in knowing how you intend to convince a VO (even me) that after you've completed a MSc in the UK.... You then want to "progress" with a PGC?..... I think a couple of gurus have tackled this your particular issue in a couple of posts recently.
I implore you to examine your submission yourself before you send out to a VO.... Hope I am making sense?
Let's open this up.... OK... You applied from UK because you are presently residing there plus the thought of a better chance of being approved... Good!
But the moment you declared your MSc.... haba!!.... PGC is a No No!
A lot of us complain about PGD/C and it's refusal rate..... truly, PGD/C is not the problem but many of us do not just choose rightly!
Another thing.... UK allows career changes (eg. Engineering to Nursing) in fact they do a lot of career march ups in the universities (accounting with law and the likes) but my dear.. . experiences from applicants especially on this thread shows that it's not their thing in Canada.
A lawyer choosing a career program in business is not ready for their TRV!
Please.... Re-draw your plans putting above factors in mind.... even if applying from Nigeria.

Other options:
1. applying from US might be a lot cooler than UK.... where you immigration status will not work against you.
2. You can also try employment agencies in UK that can help with Tier 2.
3. Shop for another related MSc (career expansion) in Canada.
4. Shop for PhD in Canada (career progression)
*** never a PGD!!!
Good luck!

I applied to Carleton university, MSc through an agent and I got funding from the school that covered my tuition, but for the visa I applied myself .

Hello @afredytee and congrats. I also intend attending Carleton Uni for Masters in Human Computer Interaction. I have already paid the Application fee and now completing the remaining phase of the application which is uploading required documents. My concern now is the Financial part of the Preference form, I really don't know what to fill in the Funding part. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

choose a course based program and make it clear that u can sponsor your education, that you don't need any funding from the school.... It worked for me when I applied to unisask after they rejected me the first time

Ricky....taking a course based masters means one cannot proceed to Phd after the program....

He never said he doesn't need funding from the school, i am sure he needs thats why he is goung for Msc instead of M.Eng, another perk of thesis-based is that he can proceed directly to PhD if he wishes.
Best bet is for him to contact supervisors beforehand and know whether to continue with the application or look elsewhere but i believe his 4.36 might take him in, 4.36 (87%) no be joke na.

hello my people. Hope everyone is doing well and hopeful for TRV. It will come to everyone IJN.

Kindly answer these few questions;
Is the school Usask?
2. You're admitted for Fall 2017 huh? When did you apply and how long did it take to get the admission letter? Thanks!

I tried both

michV:
the VO may have refused you guys because he/she wants you both to establish more home ties with your home country. if you are going for PGC(D) after stating to the VO of your master program in the UK, coming back to Nigeria to re-apply afterwards will only solve the problem of ''immigration status of country of residence'' but i see it not solving the ''purpose of visit'' if you would be telling the VO you are going for a PGC in canada after obtaining masters degree in a 1st world country like the U.K which has equivalent advanced educational system with canada.

Hey Dear, @michV thanks for taking time to advice me. Erm its a graduate certificate in supply chain management though not postgraduate diploma and from my little research a Graduate certificate is like getting another BSc but based on a particular subject or field.And I chose this one because from my research online most pharmaceutical companies actually require such expertise. Perhaps the reason why they said purpose of visit was because I actually didn't attach a supporting letter stating my plans. I know very callous of me .
