Igbouwanile: What's your CGPA? Can you really afford the Canada fees and upkeep? I can't myself that's why I am applying to programs that can give full ride. I had to drop school that provide funding of cad22k but fees alone is around 26. Can't afford the balance and upkeep. In this journey, you have to be truthful to yourself. If your last two years CGPA is more than 80% try full ride MA in economics. If you can truly afford the fees and upkeep, change program to economics, get a strong account sponsor and reapply. I can't try this cos although I may get Visa, I can't come and be struggling with jogging school, work and fees headache. You have to be truthful to yourself first on what you really can afford. Then reask your question on your options. Some with lower undergraduate GPA may need to do masters in Nigeria and ACE it, before trying PhD in Canada, if you have Canadian dream. I don't think you need to change or drop your dream if you can truly afford to pay for it. 5 Likes |

[quote author=Folaroyal post=51816109] Countries that have same or better immigration policies as Canada are.. New Zealand, Australia and Ireland.... Your next option would be USA.. While a last option that I won't advise under prevailing current conditions is UK! You should still reapply to Canada though... since you have great chances. Regards.[/quote Okay, maybe Ireland might be a good option in terms of visa ease 2 my own thought, Aussie is way expensive.. US will be tough also just that one may not encounter long delays.. dont want UK. the problem now in re-applying to Canny is how to build a strong account, though am discouraged with their disapointing results. why do you think i have a greater chance in next application.. #Folaroyal.

Igbouwanile: As others have said, you have two major issues to deal with. First, your purpose of visit, which is tied to program mismatch ie no correlation between Econs and HRH. You can tackle this by choosing a course in line with Econs (start checking out for schools that offer courses related to your Econs and if possible go for masters). Second, travel history is tied to your inability to prove enough finances to take care of your program, travel fare to Canada and back. In this case, you have to prove that you have enough finances for at least one year course fee and living expenses. Your immediate sponsor's FD account being in their son and daughter's name is a red flag to the VO. You don't expect FD account in son's name to be used for study expenses. You can as well look for another sponsor with good SOA. They can also transfer reasonable cash into your account to further show their commitment backing everything with affidavit and good letters of sponsorship. It would be nice to know what you do currently, whether you are a serving corp member or out of youth service. 1 Like |

Igbouwanile: Bro, like MichV and Folaroyal have mentioned, The relationship between these courses isn't sufficiently convincing. A career or course change isn't really a bad thing but the big gun there will be WHY? questions will bother around: 1. Will this career path be of significant advancement to applicant's education and career? 2. Does applicant have sufficient work experience to warrant a career change since previous education isn't a direct academic relationship to intended or even closely related. 3. Many applicant't going for same program with direct correlation to previous education and work experience. what guarantees applicant will do well in the intended program since there are no previous activities(education/experience) in this path? these are just few areas i probably think will raise a red flag with "Purpose of visit". It is not enough to write a fantastic SOP without evidences, These folks would have even seen and read write ups from English scholars with good command of the language but truth is, Your case, documents and circumstance should out weigh the SOP and present your application convincingly.. SOP should be the icing on your app and not using it explain most things. They are trained to get what the want already. Personally, i believe SOP should be more like presenting the real personality behind the fantastic application package in writing. Notwithstanding, I trust you will make appropriate additions to you reapplications and nothing will stop your study permit approval. In all though,Do all you need to do and still leave a space for God to do his! Cos sometime, even the best of applications don't scale through. All the best bro. 1 Like |

My elder bro wont disapoint asper assistance regardin fund availability. but i cant guarantee of heavy account statement from him. would have loved to try Development Economics does it tally? what do u mean by your statement below? I can't try this cos although I may get Visa, I can't come and be struggling with jogging school, work and fees headache... #Osemigho |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by Osemigho: 11:42pm On Dec 10, 2016 |
Folaroyal: Those options are for the rich. I know NZ and Australia fees can reach 30k with less international funding. I was particularly advised to do masters in Nigeria before considering PhD in NZ by a NZ professor because of funding. USA fees also high and require some exams like GRE that are easily avoided in Canada. No come get work permit. Plus staying back sef hard pass Canada. Many doing masters in US are considering PhD in Canada because of PR. Fact! I no know Ireland. If you can spend #5-8m on school and upkeep, try Australia and NZ. I read they Have easy stay compare to US and similar to Canada. If only you can truly afford it. I don't believing in going there and struggling. But based on my reading so far and my CGPA, I prefer Canada because it mostly provides full ride funding in my course like US and stay like NZ and Australia. That's why I dey run and pray for Canada. Why did you choose Canada? The answer will determine whether you need to try other options. Shalom! 1 Like |

Igbouwanile: 3.9 is good. Try MA economics in universities. Na only you know if development economic tally o. But I think it does plus it carry economics for its back. Lolz Get heavy statement from a third party to apply but rely in God for your brother to not disappoint you. Am from a very humble background. OnYourOwn is my case on the Canada journey. Not even expecting a plane ticket from any relative or friends. I rely on God to help with it. Praying for full ride cos I try get 90% GPA. Can't accept any admission that is not full ride of fees and upkeep. Pray for me! 1 Like |

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by CannyZionist: 11:58pm On Dec 10, 2016 |
Igbouwanile: I understand the sponsor thing. Now check out those schools at http://www.mastersportal.eu/study-options/269352964/economics-canada.html Look for the cheapest schools and apply with good statement of purpose and academic recommendation letters since your CGPA is fairly strong. They might consider your last 2yrs GPA of 3.9 which could stand you a good chance. If you truly want to study in Canada, you will need some patience while at the same tackling your reasons for refusal. Please be focus and handle your case nicely so you get your trv in your next application. It is well with you 2 Likes |

Igbouwanile: There's difference between finance being a problem and proving you are capable financially being a problem. Since you are assured by your brothers that can sacrifice close to 7m per year to you, bros your problem is proving you are financially capable and not finance. Check your network for people that has heavy account -close to 20m balance and 40m flow. Even though am from a humble background with no support, am 100% sure getting a third party genuine account isn't a problem, but paying fees and upkeep is the real one. In conclusion, you don't have the problem you think you have!!!! Think and open your senses. By senses, I mean eyes to see people around you with such account, mouth to ask them, etc. 3 Likes |

[quote author=Igbouwanile post=51816802][/quote] UofT and UofVic plus any other schools that can offer full ride. My choice of school in canada is determined by level of international funding provided for MA courses, not name of school or location. It is left for them to determine if am compatible with them, while I fulfill requirements which may include getting a supervisor. Please, who applied to UBC recently? Is their application fee waiver for Nigerians still on? |

Osemigho:Mehn, some amount called here fit gv person HBP o. Lol. Baba,easy na. before bank robbery increase nationwide! You have a valid point.But i think if he uses a third party sponsor, the totality of commitment will have to be evident like paying of fees n cash transfer to his account. And like you mentioned,paying the fees and upkeep is the real deal.The flow may mean nothing without some level of comittment to show sponsor will truly support him financially.

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by Igbouwanile(m): 12:29am On Dec 11, 2016 |
Austinpee4: what you are saying is that if one is using third party sponsor, the sponsor will have to pay the whole fees of the applicant or transfer the money 2de applicant acount. I want to ask how about prooving relationship with the third party sponsor since one isnt related 2 him/her so as to fully guarantee/assure the VO that the sponsor will live upto expectation in sponsoring the applicant. |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by Austinpee4: 1:02am On Dec 11, 2016 |
Igbouwanile:NO. Paying of fees only shows some level of commitment be it full fees or part. Sponsorhip claims must always be backed with convincing evidences and more so, a 3rd party with little or no relationship to you. This burden is mostly on a 3rd party sponsorhip because of their relationship to you and genuineness to claims. This isn't necessarily the same with a family member like parent or siblings because the are often times reliable but some case or situation may prove otherwise though. Proving relationship with that person will also go with why the person will expend such amount of money for your study considering the relationship. Personally, i feel a good way to show commitment from a 3rd party is by paying fees and giving you access to funds either by transfering cash to you or having financial doc in your name. I want to believe the VO knows alot of applicant present sponsor for the sole aim of the TRV and not responsibilty to their studies. You have to prove them wrong with evidences. 1 Like |

Austinpee4: You are right but that's packaging. Very possible. Me calling those figures doesn't even have #100k in my account n my Papa no get #1m too plus I get five siblings. No b beans! But I know say all those things Na figures. If it require #100m account, I will get someone with genuine income to stand in. So long, fees and upkeep are truly out of my headache. It's like going for shell or Chevron interview, if you no get better suit and can't afford to buy, you borrow or rent one mehn. You can not afford to appear unqualified. 1 Like |

Austinpee4: Nice one. But I believe he can get such account from his uncle's or aunt. I think his limiting his search to brothers and sister currently. Do you say your brother works in bank? Tell him to think about his network. Cos I know bankers have good knowledge of third party customers that can assist. Then you headache would be proving it. In conclusion think, read previous threads, take your time to package and pray. Our founding fathers dealt with this kind of issues well. Kudos to them! |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by Osemigho: 7:00am On Dec 11, 2016 |
Many things about packaging can't be discussed publicly. You really can learn more by reading previous part of this thread. Happy Sunday folks. Pray for Nigeria. |
