This is for Ghana, Why?

oluwaCanny:


are you from Ghana?? Last year by this time Ghanaians application took 8-12 weeks but this is quite wierd. I believe the Ghanaians might be doing something that requires more verification.

Hello house, Please am new here and I have a question. I applied to the University of Waterloo Phd program (Public Health and Health Systems) for September intake. Since January, I have not received any admission decision. I check the portal like hell every day cant count the number of times. Now i have admission from Australia from like 3 schools for July intake but Master programmes. Please what do you advise? Should I still wait for Waterloo? they dont answer their mails. And the schools in Australia are all waiting for my decision almost closing.

Anyone in Waterloo here? do they accept Nigerians?

Hey bro, smiling mood activated here too.

[s]I am always happy to be proven wrong but it's not clear to me how a postgraduate diploma is different from a post bacc diploma except in name only. I do stand corrected if I am mistaken, however.[/s]

On second thought you are right that they are not equivalent... I googled it and it appears that just one school in Canada offers this exact course and the same school also has a graduate diploma which they consider to be higher than the post bacc. Thanks for the correction!

Having said that, switching to a PGD won't automatically solve his problems (though I agree with you that the program level is also likely an issue), though switching to masters would help. But in either case, @chinograd needs to write a strong SOP explicitly justifying his desired educational trajectory.

From my unscientific observation of this thread over the past ~two years, PGD visa applicants in business administration or international business management or human resources management seem to get denied a lot. To me the reason is almost obvious, it is difficult to make a case to the VO that you need to go to Canada to study these courses at the PGD level. It is not impossible to get a TRV for these courses, but the application has to be extremely well put together. So yes I'd suggest he go for a masters or an MBA if he really wants to gain unique knowledge, given his three years of experience.

Hello To everyone in this group and goodu Morning
Please I have never been as confused as this before and inneed your input. I have a bachelor of Agric degree finishing with overall cgpa of 3:0 and last 2 years 3.8. I appied for masters in MUN after securing a supervisor. Only school I applied to as the others I got no response. After waiting for 4-5months I got decision made and was told my application was refused. I spoke to my supervisor over the phone and he told me he is interested in my profile and he hasn't made a choice yet as the issues faced with getting visa from nigeria as he has a student from Nigeria who took 1year to get visa that is why he hasn't made a choice on me(2days before I got decision made he was asking me how long it takes to get visa and study permit via email). As of the time I got decision made and I spoke to my supervisor he said he hasn't made a final desicion.
Now the question is how come MUn gave admission refusal when my Supervisor told me over the phone he hasn't finalized on my profile, as he will keep in touch with me. What do I do now ?
Please this thing dey burst my kidney, cos searching for supervisor is like sourcing for Dollar when he scarce
Thank you as I await you inputs bosses

maziude:


Thanks boss. However, the coordinator's phone number is not going. I am not sure I am calling the right number. How do you call a number like this? 519-888-4567, ext. 38455. extension before number of number before extension? do i need to add +1 to it? As for the Australian schools, they are self sponsors. thanks alot. your response was great.

School is resuming September and my company business trip is 21st of this month. Canada is my first priority but at the same time I am scared loosing from both sides.

I applied from Poland.

I almost gave up about studying in Canada because I had stories about challenges applying outside Nigeria but someone in this forum encouraged me, even when I find it difficult to provide a good SOA. All I provided was my retired dad's statement with just 500k. Though the PhD is funded but just approximately 17CAD per year.
To those still awaiting approval never give up, I would also help with prayers am also available to help review SOP, this would reduce the burden placed on the gurus in the thread.

Hello house,

i got this mail from the school i applied to. What do u suggest i do?

"in reviewing your application, I see that you have selected the ‘full-time’ academic load. Please be aware that the MCM program is offered only on a part-time basis. You may want to consider the implications re- a student visa.
Thanks."
