vascey: I was in their office at Toronto in December and was told they have a lot of requests. That i will hear from them in January. My cheque that was sent from US took them 3 weeks to be acknowledged. I think its the traffic. Do you have a tracking number for your cheque? I also think they aint organised. They are supposed to give applicants numbers to quote on their documents so that they can match the documents like WES does. At some point they told me they hadn't received some documents i sent to them. I had to provide evidence before they could acknowledge receipt. My dear i am still hopeful. I know it will happen soon though. Amen to your prayers. |

I think it's because, like Imperial College London, UBC gives most of the available spots to the highest bidder (the Asians). They pay the huge international student fees without seeking scholarships (they value education that much, and at any cost - ask the ivy leagues) or will often have funding from national sources (they are not a financial burden), are likely to have high GPAs, and are likely to have better career/job prospects nationally or internationally (in order to access the coveted Asian market, every serious organization needs Asians on their team). All of these contribute to the ranking of both schools at the top, hence, they continue to dole out spots to them in a win-win relationship. As an international student (from sub-Saharan Africa of all regions), you are likely to be lagging behind in these three areas, and they might not see you as a potentially beneficial alumni (in terms of your career/job prospects)! This is my opinion though! einsteino: 2 Likes |

justwise:Without knowing the details, I am not sure you want to police adults. People have choices; so allow them to make decisions. Encourage contributors to be transparent instead. If someone requests a PM, the other individual still needs to make that judgement to send the PM/continue the conversation. 12 Likes |

Negotiate: I am really interested in this topic. Landed seniors, kindly enlighten us more on trades that can be learned in Nigeria that requires no certification to practice in Canada. How is owambe ( parties) in Canada as compared to Nigeria and Nigerians in UK? Would fashion designing (sewing) be a good business. Can I get to sew within the four corners of my house while I also engage in a white collar job? What other side business can one do that isn't regulated? Thanks 1 Like |

Tamm: I am not so sure about that highest bidder part as UBC is a public University, unlike Harvard and in my experience canadian public univeristies arent as bothered about making money as those in the UK. like i said earlier, i personally know of some canadian unis dept that dont allow you self fund a thesis based masters. So the highest bidder part is unlikely. However, I agree with your other points. Actually, they go hand in hand, one of the things that makes a university have a great appeal to students and make its admission highly competitive is its ranking. students and lecturers with an excellent academic&research history, would start out seeking for admission/tenure into high ranking schools first before considering lower ranked schools, all things being equal. |

Hello All, Happy New Year. Please permit me to ask this question here because I know I'll get practical answers here. My mum is traveling to Toronto this month and I want to buy her flight ticket. 1. How can I get a cheap but reasonable flight for her? Contact a travel agent or book it myself on any airline website especially since it will involve connecting flights? If travel agent, which one should I use? 2. Her return date is unknown for now. Can I book an open return? or must I have to put a date even when it is not sure yet? 3. what of cold? I heard whatever winter clothes you buy here will be useless when you land at the airport over there. How should we do this? Thank you all. |
