Bro u can search for schools offering the course u intend studying and check their site for application fee (which I know is around $100CAD) and from conversion that's certainly not #100k. Try and search yourself and u will be happy u did. I don't know ur intended course but I think someone here in this forum said something about Mohawk college, so try and check them out if the have ur course then it's up to u to apply

telvinfantasy:

This my first time using an agent and again i have no relative in Canada so am on my own. Pls enlighten me if you know about the cost and what it takes pls

chigrad:
Pls house, any contribution to this question.

if it not more den 16weeks to b dat pronounces u don't 've issue at d POE( because u wouldn't undergo any med text) and d school wouldn't withdraw dere admission too.

Hey Gurus. My friend is a graduate of information scinence in polytechnic. Want to study nursing in Canada in college. Please what steps needed and hope its possible .
Thanks

Riddeek:

U applied to only UBC and you are in doubt whether to apply to other schs? Bros you dey joke
You have to overlook the 100CAD app fee for other schs and apply. Infact apply to a minimum of 3 except you are a first class graduate.
Pls don't ever put all your eggs in one basket. Its very risky.

Wetin happen to first class? Who first class help when you are challenged by perfect Chinese GP and US students with publishing spirit ?
I be first class and 3 schools busted my bubble last year. I have learnt my lesson and won't advise anyone to apply to UBC, Toronto, or McGill alone. In fact, if you apply there and have first class, just take it as expecting miracle to be accepted, and apply to other 2 mid and 1 lower rank school(s) that will respect you small. Lol.

It will end with praises.

platypelloid:
Boss thanks
What's your advice for me now?
Which schools would you recommend with highest chances of securing admission offer??
Thanks.

Can't recommend with no knowledge of your profile.

What's your last two years of study GP?
What's your UG course?
Do you have any experience?
Do your proposed program require supervisor? I hope you will say no, for me to be able to rejoice with you more.

If you can answer above questions and still need answer.
Colleges offer easy admission with little or no scholarship. They can be as expensive as 20k cad per year and may not offer courses related to your UG course.
Now, before you jump at their easy admission, except you have at least three years of provable exoerience in the field they offer, ensure it is in a course very similar to your UG course name spelling. Go for PGC in environment sc if your UG course is environmental science. So that you dont run away from frying pan and enter fire. Lol.

Schools like Utoronto, McGill and UBC don't just rely on GPA. It's about your overall academic profile especially your publications, recommendations and the novelty of your area of research. When your proposed field is an area where they already have more than enough graduate students, the probability of rejection is high. Also it is always advisable to choose fields with relatively high number of potential supervisors so that by the time the grad admission committee is looking to assign you to a supervisor, at least you'd have one supervisor ready to accept you as a grad student. Cos with these schools....no supervisor invariably translates to no admission.

Like rideek suggested, never put all your eggs in one basket. It very suicidal to do that.

CIC can and does punish people for their agent's mistakes. The US Embassy and many other embassies do the same. Embassies know that many Nigerians use agents fully knowing that the agent would use fake documents or provide dubious information. CIC didn't recommend any agent to you, the fact that the agent is CIC certified doesn't absolve you of the agent's mistakes. You need to take this situation into your own hands. I highly doubt the agent would take responsibility as this may provide grounds for CIC to sanction him/her or revoke his/her agent license. Just FYI, if I were you I would either fire the agent or be 100% certain (not 99% o) that the explanation sent by the agent truly shows that he/she is taking responsibility (and includes proof). The agent has more to lose by being truthful to CIC. Ignore my advice if you strongly trust the agent.

jamal411:
Yes you are right. I explained to the agent and sent him a screenshot from my email showing when it was mentioned by me. Luckily the date and time email was sent was clearly visible for him to see.

He accepted to write CIC to explain and take responsibility for the error. I have no choice at this point than to trust him, because he is a member of ICCRC with good standing and cic has been in touch with him throughout my application process. He is a certified agent and his name and RCIC number is clearly visible on the ICCRC website.

So I cannot at this point contact CIC directly myself, that will be a breach of contract and honestly CIC may not even respond to me even if I try to go alone on this.

Having said that, I think the explanation from him will be sufficient. Afterall cic are the ones who encourage and advice us to use certified agents instead of uncertified ones if we decide to use representation.

I doubt if they will punish me with a refusal/ban for somebody's error, should incase they do then they have to punish him too otherwise it won't be fair cuz I didn't fill the forms myself... However I am positive it won't get to that...

Since your admissions is in May how do you go by this month end . I tot the earliest time given for intl students to arrive is 3 months before school resumption

2. package your visa application very well. expecially if you are going for either a postgraduate diploma or certificate program.

Good morning
I got offer for admission at Fleming college for (Pgc sustainable agriculture cos I studied crop production and soil science ) last August but due to error on my name and date of birth is couldn't pay my first semester tuition (8302CAD) until October and applied for visa 11/11/2016 via the online route i haven't heard anything since then make school resumed last Monday although I already wrote them about the delay.below are my other Info
sponsor:mum
SOA balance :12.2m and 2m
Properties: 3 houses worth about 45m
Total tuition:16,604.12cad(I paid 8302 cad already.
Please I need your advice and Comments what are my chances of getting the study permit plus do they give permit after school has resumed
Thank you

Those eager to do M.Sc., you can always swap from M.Eng when you get to Canada. It is much easier. I have spoken to friends who swapped, some are in the process of swapping. Don't give your self headache.

Also @ Osemigho , please don't be quick to discourage peeps from applying to UBC.

In a competition, don't be disturbed about those competing with you, forget about the Asians, do your best and believe in God.

I was already recommended for admission there. I ignored it because I had paid tuition deposit to U of R and I wanted Saskatchewan Province for personal reasons.

But I think it takes more than CGPA, because I uploaded my design project during my application. I had a 2.1.

Based on reading alone, I will advise your friend to get PGC admission in information science, since I am not sure their universities understand how our OND/HND works. When he/she get to Canada, the person can further desired course. Submitting nursing admission letter, with no nursing prior study or experience, is an auto-reject.

Hello Guys,

I need advise and direction.

Got admission at dalhaouise university.

Am applying next month for study visa.

Online application though

And I want to do upfront medical (will you advise).

Or I shld apply and wait for me to called for medicals.

And will I be able to submit online without medicals if I don't do upfront medicals.


On my Biometric, whe will I be called after applying online?

And the main issue is the payment with out current forex wahala in Nigeria as Access bank won't allow me pay more that 200 cad dollars and the application fee +biometric fee is 225 cad dollars.

I kmow I have plenty questions to ask and am very open to everyone advise.

Thanks guys..

Either upfront or you wait for medical call, both are good. It's just that, if you front load medical, it saves the period of just requesting for your medical result and if you don't do upfront, if there will be any rejection, it's likely to come before you're been called for medical which saves you cost of doing medical. The option is yours.

Or I shld apply and wait for me to called for medicals.

And will I be able to submit online without medicals if I don't do upfront medicals.

Sure, you will be able to submit without front-loading medical.

On my Biometric, whe will I be called after applying online?

Usually it's between a week after submission, but no one can be so sure of the exact date.

And the main issue is the payment with out current forex wahala in Nigeria as Access bank won't allow me pay more that 200 cad dollars and the application fee +biometric fee is 225 cad dollars.

Try getting someone that has a US Dom account if not, get someone outside Nigeria to help you pay while you fund the person's naira account with the equivalent naira.
I kmow I have plenty questions to ask and am very open to everyone advise.

Good morning everyone, please i want to know if letter of support/sponsorship is the same as Affidavit of support/sponsorship. If they are not, which is more preferable for visa for visa application?

Yes, both are the same. You can choose to notarized your letter of sponsorship.

The intention was not to discourage anyone but to let them know what they are up against. If they don't know, they might think it is easy and submit a wishy-washy application, with no backup. I don't think it is right to say you should not be 'disturbed' by competition because when you don't know what you are up against, you might not put all your best in it. Ask Nokia and Blackberry what competition means and why you need to always be informed about it and up your game for it.

Anyone following my profile will know I applied to Toronto for fall 2016 and was rejected, but have reapplied to UBC, Toronto and other schools. So, I am taking the risk again too.

Once again, My intention is not to discourage anyone but to prepare fully for the battle they are up to mentally, academically, and spiritually.

Thanks for saying it takes more than GPA.

Heaven helps those who help themselves. Shalom!

it not the same bro, if u notorized ur sponsorship letter wch is not necessary cox the letter is addressed to the embassy with d signature of the sponsor at the end of the letter. affidavit of sponsorship on the other hand gives details of the supporting documents your sponsor is giving to support your application. documents like landed properties,photocopy of data page of passport or any internationally recognized identification (this is needed to confirm the signature on the sponsor's letter), his support to u, CAC certificates, your sponsor's relationship to u can also be repeated in this affidavit, summary of annual earnings from ur sponsor from his/her work or rent from properties listed (if applicable) and so many other documents. this is a legal tender that really affirms the sponsors readiness to sponsor you. this is totally different from letter of sponsorship.

CarpricornPratt:


Congratulations!..Ofcourse you can renew your passport just like @successtouch said .. When did you apply for your student permit?

Thanks. I applied 3rd oct 2016, online application got my passport request 16th january 2017. Its my 3rd attempt actually, i didn't do anything exceptionally new except send them a calm but angry LOE telling them its my last attempt, with a notarized paper showing my willingness to come back and prayers. it took me a year in all.

Please can you tell me what affidavit of sponsorship and letter of sponsorship is been used for as you've claim they are both not the same?
An affidavit of sponsorship contains the sponsor's name, type of work s/he does, annual earning, and stating other income source. It also shows relationship between the sponsor and the applicant....signed and most times sealed which makes it more official than just ordinary letter. Both affidavit of sponsorship and letter of sponsorship are used for the same purpose (stating sponsor's commitment to the applicant).
