capsule: Hello, To show progression in your field, you should go for a PHD since you finished your msc with a high grade. You might even get funding and easy approval if you do things right. Best wishes. |

Pearl30: If you have worked a number of years as a lawyer in Nigeria, that would make up for any low GPA. Write a powerful statement of intent and submit a graded essay/research paper by a professor from your university days in which you earned an A. That is to show your analytical and reasoning ability. If you don't have one, I am afraid you have to write one now and get it graded. One of your written court briefs in defence of a client will not suffice for a graded paper. At any length don't fear applying because of low GPA if you have a number of years of working experience under your belt. Your statement of intent needs to powerfully make a case for you on how you learned to excel in the practice of law albeit an uneventful undergraduate or law school performance in the Nigerian university. 4 Likes |

Thanks |

capsule: I would advise you not to go for another Master's. Go for PhD, unless you just want to do another Master's. And remember, another Master's means that you need to convince the VO why you want to do a program you already have. Such doesnt show a progression in your career. Having low CGPA wont convince the VO. Such reason might even be auto-rejection: if you didnt make good grades in Nigeria, how do you think you'd make good grades in Canada? That is the VO thinking. Admission be it BSc/MSc/PhD is more than good grades alone. There are other factors to be considered such as: 1. Good grades (Transcripts and Tesr Scores): To the admission committee, this shows the proof of your achievements/accomplishments. 2. Resume: this shows the list of your accomplishments 3. SOP: This tells them how passionate you are about your intending program, which can also be what you intend to bring to the table and your plans for the future. Some schools rate this factor highest. 4. LOR: This is an independent assessment of the 3 factors above. Pls make sure whoever that is writing LOR for you is not your relatives. It can be your boss in the office (professional LOR) or the lecturers that taught you, esp your thesis supervisor (Academic LOR). In my opinion, your grade can get you a PhD offer if you write a good SOP, have a published journal paper and of course have a supervisor. When you are seeking for a supervisor, pls dont go about begging them to supervise you. Instead tell them what you intend to bring to their research group. If you write then twice and no reply, then call or leave a voice message and forget the person. Dont go about harrassing them. PhD advantages are numerous. If you are given an offer, funding is certain for you. VO wont harrass. Your visa will be approved in less than a month. Goodluck. 2 Likes |

IstandWitBuhari: Congratulations on getting a GA. if you want more money, your best bet will be to hit the school website and check for other funding available to international student. if you're qualified, you can then proceed to find out how to apply for it. most of the time, you don't have to apply for a scholarship, you will be automatically considered for it and awarded if you meet the requirement. |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by jnyuwa02: 9:50am On Jan 06, 2018 |
Slik07: Great points. I should add though that after emailing a few times, don't just leave a voice message once and forget about a prospective supervisor. Keep calling until you talk to him personally. Talking personally once can be a game changer. concerning visa, even PHD and funding is not a guarantee of visa with the VOs. So don't go applying resting on your laurels and complacent. One person here from NL here I was helping got rejected with funding before reapplying again with a stronger SOP before he was approved within a few months. MSC or PHD, this visa is not in the bag yet, till it's really there. So you owe it to yourself to give it your best shot. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. So put up a bulletproof application that makes a VO want to exercise discretion favorably on your behalf. You not only have to qualify, because discretion is involved you also want to make the VO like you through how you pen your application. You want to appear sincere in how you answer questions and write SOP. Sincerity boosts likability before the VOs. 2 Likes |

WEIRDPC: Thanks for your response. My supervisor has been trying to secure more funding for me but no success presently. I have waited for PTDF till now no one has heard from them. Please from your experience, what do you suggest I do? |

hurricanesgrace: Hello, You didn't ask yourself why everyone kept on ignoring your question and moving unto relevant ones. Funny enough here is not a charity club/Forum or Home where such is done. Sir/Ma, Do yourself good by sitting down and constructing a convincing SOP for yourself. Once you are done with that, you can pm some responsible monikers here to review them for you and make corrections where relevant. I must tell you that no one here will write an SOP for you. Unless you want some monikers here that will pm you and charge you money and at the end you get everything messed up. So do yourself good by doing the needful. Don't be lazy okay. Sorry if i sounded rude. Best of luck on your SOP. 9 Likes |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Nobody: 1:09pm On Jan 06, 2018 |
hurricanesgrace: Nobody can write SOP for you because we dont know you and what you have achieved in your career. What I advise applicants is to write their SOP and cover those areas the VO will use and refuse them visa and let someone review it before submission. Such areas are: 1. Purpose of visit: Why that uni? Why Canada and not Nigeria? Why do you want to spend so much in your education in Canada? What value can you add to the uni? What will the course add to your career and home country after graduation? Why that course? Your plans for the future? 2. Finance: Let the VO know the source of the money even though your sponsor will still write his own SOP 3. Current employment: Let the VO know what you have been doing and what you have achieved and this your intending course is a progression. 4. Home ties: your wife, kids, landed property, company, parents, siblings etc. 5. Travel history: If you have not traveled before, you can tell the VO that you dont like traveling. You only want to travel now because of how important this MSc/PhD is to your career. Or you can say your work doesnt allow you to travel. NOTE: This wont come as headings but as a well scripted story and well paragraphed. Now, you have important points to write a strong SOP. Goodluck. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

@jnyuwa @Themechanic and other Usask students and prospective students. Please, have applied for usask masters program for the past three weeks and paid the processing fee and have uploaded the required documents. One of my recommenders has uploaded his letter, one mailed it to the graduate coordinator because she was unable to receive the mail from school and was asked to send it through email. I only have one recommendation letter left to be sent, but my admission status is still displaying 'Some items outstanding. My question is,will they start my admission review or is it possible that they have started working on it since have paid and uploaded my documents. Even after the last recommendation letter is sent,some items will still be outstanding because one of my letters was sent through email so it didn't reflect on my page. I need answers please, thank you. Its up to three weeks now |

@ Maziude, i believe You had a great semester. Pls I need a little help. I have applied to University of Ottawa for PhD International Development and all my documents have been sent. However, the school is yet to acknowledge receipt of my undergraduate transcript though I have proof of delivery. Pls, would it be too much if I can ask you to check in on the faculty of Social Sciences grad school for a follow up? I would be most grateful if you can but pls don't feel pressured as I know you have just resumed. Have a very wonderful day and a successful semester ahead. Cheers. |
