Check the school’s website , if it is not clearly stated then it is not needed. You can mail the admissions office to confirm also.

The 70 percent they state is their minimum standard for admission and doesn’t relate to WES in any way . Some schools have in house evaluators besides there is something they call international credentials equivalent on their website , there you will see the acceptable admission grade that matches your country.
Always in the school of graduate studies website.

Yes, his best bet would be to mail the admissions office of the school.

I know a school that, in their requirements page, didn't explicitly state whether transcripts will compulsorily be WES-evaluated or not. Not until i mailed them that they confirmed so.

Seems CIC has started their site maintenance. Any idea when they are going to be done?

Hope their site maintenance brings goodnews.

Linzo:

That question is pointing to other CIC application not really student's study Visa

I don't think so. The question was relative to the general "slow" nature of processing applications. No particular application process was directly asked even though different responses were given on various application types. Meanwhile, the was a response given about study permit applications in the latter part of the first response.

That being said, it is also important to note that all Canadian immigration path be it permanent or temporary(study permit)understandably go through same bureaucracy, GCMS structure, Security and criminality checks etc. Every individual applying to enter Canada(TR/PR)will always undergo a standard procedure for admissibility and eligibility as enshrined in their laws and provisions of the immigration and refugees protection act. I think the respondents especially the first supplied information on the workability and challenges surrounding the modus operandi of IRCC visa applications which is significant to the question asked.

I'm happy to be part of this forum,' I pray God bless the poster immensely in Jesus name.
pls house I just graduated from Nnamdi Azikiwe university with a first class in Banking and finance. My question is that I want to run a scholarship MBA program in finance preferably Canada, can I apply without any work experience? because I'm planning on applying as soon as possible without any work experience

Congratulations on your stellar result.

Most times, the MBA is for professionals with not less than 2years work experience.

However, a lot of factors determine whether you will be granted admission or not. These factors include: Your class of degree, GMAT or GRE score and work experience.

But the good thing is, excelling in one aspect could make up for shortfall in others. For instance, if one has several years of significant and rich work experience but a low GMAT score, he could be still be granted admission coz his experiences and outlook on business will be indispensable when contributing in class.

Your own case specifically, since you have an excellent class of degree, try to score well in the GMAT exam (at least a 700) and your lack of experienve could possibly be waived.

But i personally think it is quite early for you to start chasing an MBA tho. Forget the hype and bandwagon opinions, most MBA programs offer a superficial to mid-level exposure on various concepts in the corporate business and entrepreneurship world. It wont give you the indepth specialization you need at this stage of your career. If you peruse the course outline of a typical MBA program, you would see courses that people would, otherwise, have specialized in as an M.Sc program for 2years.

Besides, there is a greater level of understanding through contextualization that comes with having work experience before going for an MBA program.

My point is, why not consider an M.Sc in a finance-related field?

bayocanny:

is not too early, the earlier the better... admission is first come first serve. I think some schools have open fall 2019 admission session on their website.
Concerning the English test, tell your faculty that you were taught with English language throughout your undergraduate studies, you may back it up with a letter attesting to it. if you are interested I have the attestation letter format, take it to your school and let your faculty officer or registrar sign and stamp it.

please I need the template ... please respond to my email

Please is memorial University a good school? And how about Newfoundland? Na better place? Help a brother

Thanks for that response. I really do appreciate. I'd have consider M. Sc instead of MBA but, I got an information that pursuing M. Sc program mean one wants to end up in a classroom ( I. e lecturing job) which I've never dreamed of. I always have dire passion for corporate world talking of companies like investment banks, CBN and other notable financial institution. ultimately, I was told that my dream can only come true by pursuing further studies on MBA -that it's more preferable in terms of prospect,pay,awe-inspiring experience not to mention a few.
I hope I've been able to convince you on my idea of pursuing one at the expense of other sir?

I have replied you check your mail

Good evening,
Pls i am still awaiting outcome for admission and i want to seek advise on sponsorship. I plan goimg for MBA and i have been saving up for a while. With almost 12 yrs work exp. Can i be self sponsored? I have enough funds on my own. Can self sponsorship reduce my chance of getting the permit?.

jdhills:


Thanks and God bless you! I spoke with someone in the Senate and he confirmed that there is an attestation letter to proof that my undergraduate teaching was in English....
So do I write the school informing them while tendering the proof (letter of attestation), or just upload the letter of attestation in the column for proof of English language proficiency when i begin to upload my document?

You're welcome.

Yeah you can just upload the letter of attestation in the column for proof of English language proficiency

Please does anyone know colleges and universities that accept NECO GCE and will refund if visa isn't approved. Thanks

No. I do not think self sponsorship affect your chances of getting the study permit in anyway. In fact with 12yrs work experience, I believe the visa Officer will expect that you have earned and save enough to sponsor yourself. Although that long work experience also means that you have been out of school for long time. You may have to explain/convince the VO in your SOP why you're going back to school now after so long, how it improves your career prospects and why you choose Canada.

All the best!

I think you will need to check individual schools for their admission requirements. Just pull up list of universities in Canada from Google and check them out. Although, I suspect that most Canadian Universities will accept NECO.

I don't know about refunds, but again that's usually not a problem as schools know that visa is never guaranteed.

I'd like to correct a view which seems to be getting quite common. Please note it doesn't apply to the moniker above but I just used it to buttress my point.

We've recently seen several expectees who didn't do medicals upfront but did it after submitting their biometrics to speed up their application if it is positive.

Now most people seem to call that 'upfront medicals'. That is simply wrong as it wasn't done upfront but after biometrics has been completed. It completely throws me off when people upload medical results much later after application submission and still call it up front medicals

You are right sir/ma. but what are you driving@, we need to learn something from your point. Thanks

What exactly is your point here? Upfront medical or after application medical, wch ever, the main thing is that CIC has acknowledged d medicals and u won't have to get medical call again. You are just waiting for approval or refusal

Austinpee4:

Yeah, i think it is better to go one step at a time being that it will be a mountainous task convincing and convincing but then, if an idividual feels he/she can match up the requirements, there is absolutely nothing wrong applying for both at the same time. The law allows for it and they are reviewed separately.

An applicant who has received his or her study permit and now studying can absolutely apply for PR provided they meet the requirements.
Understandably, there are two classes or route for an inland international student applying for PR.

1. Applying through the FSW(Federal skill worker) program if they already had work experience prior to study, evaluate their highest (or all post-secondary if lower than masters) academic qualification using the ECA, have all other requirements(lang,funds).
This will also mean the student would be applying for PR as though he/she is applying as others applying from outside Canada even though present in Canada. Correct as of today.
@Osemigho did same and has his PR now. It is the Lord's doing but I had to follow CIC guidelines too.

2. Canadian Experience Class. This would require the student to have achieved a Canadian work experience and possibly a Canadian education. Your job in Canada will have to be in skill type/level A, B or O of atleast one year and of 30hours/week same as the FSW only that there is no required settlement funds required in this class. Correct. However, it is waste of time if you already qualify for express entry as jobs are not that easy to come by, especially for masters graduate, due to the recession but the economy is improving.

Lastly, when you obtain your COPR(Confirmation of permanent residence), you only document and change status on various places you declared as student earlier before you became a PR. The officers will proceed on your change of status. Also, both the PR and SP visa are mainly issued to people outside Canada to enable them board an aircraft, clear immigration and be admitted into Canada. The visa foil on a passport is neither a study permit or a permanent resident card. These documents are only issued once in Canada but if the study permit visa was issued for multiple entry into Canada, they will be cancelled by the immigration Authorities when you go to change your status and collect your PR card. (TRV becomes void once you become PR. However, it may not be canceled on your passport) This is because you will not be needing a visa to travel in and out of Canada anymore. You will need just your PR card as you would have become a permanent resident(Correct).

Hope this brings clarity to you and others in need of this info.

Regards.

Kudos boss. I made some comments in red. Sorry for the intrusion as I have not been invited to do so.
