Hello Gurus in the house, I need your advice please
I am a very young graduate from a uni in naija, I am currently doing my NYSC and like you know the passing out and receiving of NYSC certificate is by October.... The problem is that, i am trying to apply to schools for September 2017 entry and with hope, I am very likely to get admission (by God grace).. Is it not too risky? can that cause a problem with the VO if i am called for visa?
What do you advise gurus.... Or are they less concern about the NYSC palaver?

Or should i just apply for January 2018 entry?
What do you suggest Gurus?

You should be more concerned about gaining admission for your intended program. When you are ready to apply for your study permit, many factors will come in play and not just your NYSC. i'll advise you to focus more on your admission and let the rest be in perspective. With a good application, you can get your study permit.NYSC or not.

I am also a GBC student still expecting my TRV. I applied on 10th Oct 2016 and resumption is 9th January.
Medical passed on 5th Dec and nothing else till now.
I will be attending St James campus

Kriss77:
WOW...good to see my GBC pple here...God'll get your visa for u...
we just finished fall semester, Orientation starts this week for new students coming in for Winter 2017.


Hi TemitopeJ16. We are in the same shoes. Applied Oct 13 for PGC at GBC. No update from CIC. Its like PGC applicants(Paper route) are been placed on hold. I have not witnessed a trv refusal or testimony for PGC winter (paper route) on this thread. The closest I have seen is a PGD. Please be patient cos I believe VO is thorough with our application. Let's still be hopeful. Cheers!

pls gurus in the house, I am in affix right now. I have a bsc and msc in petroleum geology and currently not ready for a phd. I am looking at broadening my horizon as the oil industry does not have much to offer now. I have two option before me an advance diploma in remote sensing or a masters of engineering in geomatics (specialization in remote sensing). Which do you think is my best option.

Your purpose of visit will be questioned at any attempt to apply for a study permit with an advanced diploma.
This is a NO NO! One thing to note is that, gaining admission is one thing and getting a study permit is another.You have a bsc and an msc..A diploma is NOT an academic progression for you considering your academic level.If you choose to apply for a masters instead, you may which to leave out the previous one you got out totally in your study permit application while explaining circumstances surrounding any academic gap(s). Choose a program that is best related to your previous education and study interest and relate this to your situation as you show a progression academically and career wise.

hello everyone. i have acceptance for an undergrad program(pre pharmacy) at University of Winnipeg.the program lasts only one year because it only consists of prerequisites. i originally want to study Pharmacy but it is nt a direct entry program anywhere in canada so i have to take the prerequisites first which is wht i will do at university of winnipeg.
now my question is, is it going to be problem(while applying for my study permit) that the program i've been accepted for lasts only one year, even though i will state it in my SOP that i will transfer to another university after completing the requisites?
i plan to transfer to MUN for the pharmD program which wuld last 5 more years. any advices?

Happy New year oooò people of people, kindly help clarify my tots.

Am in my mid thirties, BSc Accounting, worked in training&change mgt, project mgt,customer service&e-business.

Currently am self employed and want to apply for a PGD in HR @university of Winnipeg,Sept 2017

1. Can i start my application process now or it's too early?
2. If its not too early&I commence visa application, will the VO post-date the validity of my visa to Sept 2017?
3. Asides my husband who will be my sponsor, can a family friend also sponsor? Will I need any prove to the VO?
4. Will my age be against me during visa application?
5. Will my choice of study be a problem considering it's not related to my BSc ?
6. Does been recently self employed reduces my chances of been granted a visa?

Thank you for helping moi.

Please can someone assist with schools that do not require IELTS or any prove of english except ssce results for practical nursing. Thanks

Hello house
Happy new year everyone. Visa application done online since September 21 isn't it already 14weeks?

School fees (per year) - roughly #2m - #7.5m depending on course and school.

Upkeep per year( feeding, accomodation, clothing, etc) - roughly #2.5 depending on number of dependants, lifestyle, and province.

Total - #4.5 - 10m depending on the above factors.

Goodnews: if you have high CGPA in your last two years of study ( 80% and above) and going for thesis based program, you are likely to get scholarship that will cover the above expenses.

Bad news: you will have to do lot of personal reading, except you have Money for agents ( not advisable), and you have to be very patient as the whole process can take a year/+ starting from the day you get serious with your reading on the whole process.

Welcome to the world of reading voraciously for knowledge and not to pass course.

All the best.

abdullahi45:

You have the best answer already. Worry not about NYSC and visa. Some here got their visa before, during and after it.

Apply for admission first and read from part 7/8 of this thread for Visa advise and past applicants profiles.

Getting admission isn't as easy as you think, except you are going for colleges - no funding.
Cross that bridge first!

All the best

1- application to your interested program or visa?

2- don't think it is relevant.

3- anybody can sponsor you. But you will need to prove your relationship with that person and why that person want to sponsor you.

4- don't think so since you aren't idle before now and not over 50 years.

5- according to records here, it may be a bit challenging. But people had been successful about it before. Perhaps you need successful applicants with similar profile as yours to mentor you. Read and search for them here.

6- I don't think so, since it is recent. Guess you can always quote seeking admission or something else.

Note: all have said is based on my reading and not personal experience. Never apply for visa, not even SA visa. Be cautioned before accepting them.

Good day nd happy new year guys..please am intending to apply for an undergraduate degree at University of Victoria...i'd like to knw if NGN an be converted to CAD directly without going through dollars nd where can i get them...also pls i'd like to knw if its possible for me to do some little jobs there to substain myself...Response would be highly appreciated

Thanks for your help, I got a place finally through Airbnb and it was affordable than a hotel. Can you help me with a site for jobs in Newfoundland? Thanks once again

DPizzy:

If you looking to stay for just few nights! Your best bet would be Hi-Hostel; it's situated just at the heart of downtown St John's with proximity to major places across the city...It should be around $33 per night...
Alternatively, if you're still looking for a more affordable place to stay, then you might wanna look up an App called AirBnB...
Hope this helps!
Safe trip and Best wishes...

If you have got a family member or a close relative that needs naira you can strike a deal with him/her to deposit the naira equivalent of the tuition fee in his so he can make the payment on your behalf.

You can also look for a friend,relative, who has a skye bank acc so you can send money through WU or moneygram. You can PM me so we can further discuss

@tplacid compliment of d season...i just sent you a PM

please is the vfs global office Accra operating today? I did my medicals on Thursday and I heard it takes 2days for them to send it back to the embassy. I wanna know if it is still possible to meet up with the admission. jan13 . UPEI

Lol. I love the last sentence. Thanks for the quick response to people's questions. May God grant us all our heart desires.

Hopefully, some good news will start pouring in from tomorrow... January 2017 applicants, keep the faith! delay is not denial.

try university of manitoba or university of winnipeg if they have your course but they do not require any proof of english from nigerians.

I think i will disagree with you on that, i av a friend who's a geologist, and had msc in petroleum geology and presently at SAIT for a 2yrs pgd in petroleum engineering technology, he declared his msc and was given TRV. Every1's case is different, phd or msc is not a must, if u av a good SOP and and a tite app u'll get ur TRV.
