Guys please I need your candid advice:

I don't have a sponsor that bears my surname. Someone now told me I can use my cousin's company account provided he can write affidavit that he knows me and he can submit his statement of account, tax clearance account, etc. He has enough money in his account.

I got admission to University of manitoba to study Electronic and computer engineering with 5,400CAD fund from my supervisor.

Kindly advise me.

Good morning friends.gurus in the house i need your candid advice.I've been a silent reader of this thread from part 12 and I've really gained alot.my app was delayed yesterday reason purpose of visit.my details are below
Applied april 12th,biometic 13th.sponsor is my fathers jnr brother (uncle),sponsors soa 25m (its a very active acc cos its used to pay custom duty).applied for environmental impact and accessment september intake at niagara college.paid full tuition fee.graduated with cgpa 3.82(B.tech environmental technology) from Futo.i deferred my admissn last week to jan.

Please be careful with requests for someone to help you make payments, while you payback conveniently. If most of y'all will remember @canadiannurse bashing one moniker '@john2017' for offering to help anyone with payment of foreign fees(application fee, tuition fee, e.t.c.) easily. I actually vouched for @john2017 then cause he helped with my Humber College Application fee payment then while i paid him the equivalent in naira. Here is the gbege now on myHumber account after paying my tuition deposit of $7,405.50 my balance is $7,300.50;

Account Balance: -$7,300.50

Sep 14, 2017 - Wire Transfer CAD 20170913 - $7,405.50
Jul 06, 2017 - Penalty for Returned Payment - $30.00
Jul 06, 2017 - International Program App-CHG - $75.00
Jun 12, 2017 - International Program App-PMT - $75.00
Jun 12, 2017 - International Program App-CHG - $75.00

I am just sounding this out immediately so you won't fall victim. I am not entirely sure if @john2017 and his padi applied for return of payment cause have not been able to get to the international center on phone but if na wetin happen, i don lose my money($75 + penalty) and integrity(Humber go don brand me shady).

Hello boss,
Sorry for the delay.

If you dont mind my asking, what really is your end game? Did you choose the masters in scientific computing because you want to switch to computing? Or is there another reason?

If I do a 16 months course, would I be allowed to stay and work in Canada after graduation?

Secondly, do you know any good GMAT/GRE lecture center in Lagos? I left school many years ago and I am so rusty academically

Jahluv:
Hello House,

My application has been delayed for the second time.
Reason, "Purpose of visit", "I am not satisfied that your propose program is..."
I have B.Ed in Mathematics, Msc Industrial Mathematics and was going for another Masters in Scientific Computing at MUN.
I have taught Mathematics in a government Senior High School for 6 years now.
My supervisor is willing to defer my program to next year fall.
I have already requested for my gcms notes.

I am so confuse and needs advice from you, my brothers and sisters.

Thank you. Regards.

Jahluv:


Hello Bro.

I choose the program because I want to apply my mathematical experience in the field of computing. I became interested in the program when I realized it was mainly based on numerical methods and programming in Matlab and Fortran which was my favorite course during my Msc program.

Thank you. Best Regards.

abestine:


Sorry for your delay fellow mathematician. I don't know how robust your SOP is concerning relating mathematics to scientific computing, but I think you really have to work on that.

Let me use myself as a case study, I did industrial mathematics first degree, statistics second degree and going for MSc biostatistics in Tue department of Community health science, which isn't too smooth for someone who doesn't know the terrain. I actually applied for a PhD but was granted a MSc admission. My GI st denial was partly due to the fact that I tried to conceal the fact that my admission didn't not merit a PhD so that the VO will not see it as a red flag, still it was seen as one.

When I reapplied, I took my time to research into relating mathematics to statistics and then to biostatistics and explain reason why I was given a MSc admission instead of PhD that I applied and how my supervisor had advice I accept the admission to be able to do some prerequisite in epidemiology which is score course in biostatistics in the department of community health sciences where my admission letter came from.

I also used a letter of explanation to stress the relationship between between my previous academic degrees and my prospective degree in Canada.

You can try that, with God's favor it will fly, you can reach me on abestine@gmail.com if you require fine tuning your SOP or need my sample as guide... Ire o

While it's true that @Zlatimi is likely to have a better chance as a masters TRV applicant, it's highly unlikely for him/her to get masters admission with a 3rd class. It's not impossible but it is very very unlikely, unless s/he has a ton of distinguished experience and/or research publications, and/or some very interesting civil engineering projects, and/or has extremely high GRE scores, etc. I say this in order to not give any false hope.

Further, applying for TRV with a masters admission is not a silver bullet to getting a TRV. At this point, Zlatimi might as well just apply for the TRV, but s/he will need to put together a spectacular application to the VO. @Zlatini, you can get the TRV even with your PGD but your application has to be spectacular.

Austinpee4:

Nice one bro. I'm sure the VO would have been impressed with the effort you put into elaborating and buttressing your key points for choosing your program with it's similarities to previous study. It is very vital.

Weldone and congrats again.

TITILOLA88:
Ope o!

Zlatimi:

Thank you so much am grateful already started my application will hope for the best plss help me out with a good sop this is my mail orimoloyeoluwatimilehin@gmail.com

mcobex:
1. Yes you will be allowed to work in Canada after studies. One year program has a one year post graduate work permit while two years program gives you around three years post graduate work permit

thesoj:

If you are invested in getting your TRV, then I'm sure that you've been reading quality posts on this threads about how to prepare a good application. Read up on all posts by @austinpee4, @yemdogg, and all my posts on this specific page and any or all of my other posts.

Also, Google is your friend. Once you have prepared an amazing application, then you may contact me to proof read. I won't respond to your email if you ask me to send you an SOP format or if you send me an SOP that hasn't sufficiently leveraged the information on this forum.

You can PM me if you want but only after you have read and implemented the advise all over this forum (I rarely respond to PMs these days). There's a ton of others like @austinpee4 that can help maybe faster than I can, once you've already showed that you actually are willing to put an effort into justifying in an SOP why you want to go get a PGD in Canada.

@jnyuwa02 also should be able to help you with your TRV SOP (@jnyuwa02, since you sort of already volunteered yourself, abeg help our friend here to facilitate expressing to the VO his passions, why he wants to get a PGD in Canada, and how he plans to use his PGD to both profit in and revolutionize a sector in Naija)

Good evening everyone,
I'm new here and I really don't know how things are done here but I greet everyone. I just checked Google about Canada visa information and I was shown here. Well, I won't say it's late getting here but my Canada visa was refused. It's my first refusal, the reasons are
1) have sufficient & available financial resources without working in Canada to pay tuition fees for program intend to pursue
2) travel history
3) purpose of visit
4) employment prospect in country of residence
5)current employment situation
6) personal assets and financial status

My sponsor is my father's friend and he gave me his bank statement and also transfered money to me after paying tuition and accommodation.
I have traveled to Togo (I normally go there for small business buying)
I'm going for undergraduate studies : science (University transfer) in a college (I will move to a university after a year study in the college)
I submitted my bank statement with alot of money apart from that of my sponsor
I'm a volunteer (been doing it after sec school, although I still travel to Togo to buy things to sell)
Im 20 years not married (finished sec school 2 years ago)
I showed my land papers as assets and ties
Please everyone your help is needed. Please everyone (members and gurus). Thank you and God bless you

jnyuwa02:


That is a lot of reason checked and appears on a first impression formidable to able to defeat. Purpose of visit can be defeated by a powerful, fire in the belly statement of purpose as to your mission to study in Canada. Why Canada and the course you chose in essence. If this is done well, about 2 to 3 other criteria checked should also fall. Whose statement of account did you submit? Why is your father's friend sponsoring you? You might want to explain cogently and convincingly. If you really serious in defeating lack of sufficient funds, you might want to pay up and show CIC receipt. I guess you have done so right? Present evidence for employment in Nigeria and explain why assets and landed documents you submitted will induce your return to Nigeria. Talk more about your volunteer work in Togo and how that experience has revolutionized your life and given you a strong passion to come back to make a difference in Africa. You should really do a smooth sailing if you do the right things here.

AugustChild:

Thank you so much
I don't have any job other than the volunteer and I'm jot being paid.
I am currently not employed in Nigeria and I think 2 months difference is too sudden for an employment.
I intend changing my sponsor to my father and get those school receipts because I didn't submit them
I didn't write a Sop
Do I really stand a chance? I really wanna study in Canada

jnyuwa02:


You do. You need to submit your receipt and change your sponsor to your dad and explain all that I told you in your SOE. You must not be employed, you need only be forthright and explain what passions drive you.

Austinpee thanks alot.i dont know how to quote comments here.i really appreciate.iv ordered for the case note today.i will work on the SOP when i get it and reapply..Does the processing time after reappling still take as much time as a fresh application?

jnyuwa02:
Hmnnnn. I have never been a proponent of PGD, its interesting you volunteered me. By the way, why do you call it a SOP? CIC asked for Statement of Explanation (SOE). Where did SOP emanate from?
