please am going for admission in canada for a school with tuition fee of 12k for 2yrs. do i need to pay the complete school fees or can i pay for one yr and apply for visa

please which university is this , it's cheap , kindly give details of the university I beg

mcobex:
Since your tuition fee is 15k then you need at least 25k for everything (at least 10k for living expenses). Let your sponsor transfer the funds to your account then you submit your statement of account and that of your sponsor. With that you should be able to tackle the issue of fund.
Also, work on your SOP and make sure it sounds convincing enough to the vo.

Please can i message you ,maybe you can help me on the SOP and in my last application i didnt indicate that have been refused us visa like 6 years ago

naijalodge:
Thanks Boss for the swift response, indeed am really great full, from the school’s website, I found the tuition and other fees regarding the program to be almost 4 million for the 8 months program, in addition to the 10,000 CAD for living expenses, it sums up to N6,730,000 but I didn’t include flight expenses in the 8m in my SOA, it’s in a separate account

In truth, I think it would be better for you to increase the funds at your disposal (8m) or at least get a co-sponsor. There are so many other factors involved than just having slightly above the amount needed for your proposed study. Try to increase the funds to above 10m if you can or at least, get a co-sponsor to be on a safe side.

I guess you must have weighed in other options that might prompt a refusal apart from tuition fees and living expenses, right?

Cheers!

1st of all.. I dont know Simon Fraser university, I didn't apply there.. in fact am leaving Nigeria for the very 1st time in my life..so I am going to get the knowledge of canada wen I get there...

I am not going for an Msc, but a PGD...I really don't know how getting supervisors with funding works..

I suggest you go to thread 15.. and read up cos there were Msc applicants who applied, got supervisors and funding and got visas...

Kindly provide link to thread 15 please. Can't find it anywhere

Go to page one, check the first post

Exactly my thoughts as well, am also interested in knowing the uni with 12k for 2years . Or maybe the uni is in Newfoundland, there are some schools in Newfoundland that their tuition fee is $600 per term

Please I'm new to this studying in Canada and don't know where to go for authentic information for schools in offering Masters in Cyber Security. Can you please give me a load down of the steps please?

Dude... to get admitted to an MSc programme in Cyber Security, you must have prior IT/Computer Science background or some sort of knowledge (Computer networking and basic programming). Your undergraduate course is more of finance and supply chain management. Although, since you took couple of web development courses, you might be able to get admitted at least. Some Universities might not admit you for Cyber Security, they'd rather have you do an MSc in Computer Science.

Assuming you get it, you'd have to write a strong SOP to convince the V.O. So do a little research on couple of Canadian Universities offering your course and send an email to their graduate department outlining your qualifications and background - the goal is to see if you meet the admission requirements. If you get a go ahead, you can now submit an official application. The next thing would obviously be to find a way to convince the V.O, but one step at a time.

Hello, I have a BSc in Entrepreneurship and Business Management but also want to go for masters degree in Cyber Security. Please note I did some professional courses in digital marketing and web development, so I have some interest in IT. Do you think an MSc in Cyber Security is feasible?

My younger bro is also current studying cyber security at Concordia uni, he is an electrical engineer but IT option. His IT background actually boosted his chances of gaining admission.

Thanks bro, I’ve tot of getting a co sponsor but the issue is most of them don’t have huge cash in their accounts, if I may ask, considering the money in my account l,wat is the minimum amount that should be in my co sponsor’s account?

I can’t really say for sure how much your co-sponsor should have in his/her account since they apparently don’t have much. There are some other factors that might come into play here like; how many people are depending on your co-sponsor? Is he or she married with kids? Etc

I suggest the co-sponsor should expedite a transfer of at least 10k CAD (for your living expenses regardless of the fact that you don’t need it) to you and thereafter, write a letter of co-sponsor indicating why he/she is supporting your education. I think that would suffice. Other knowledgeable people can throw more light on this if you still need further clarification.

Hello guys, can one be asked for tuition receipt at the POE ?

If one hasn't paid yet, and the officer asks for reason(s); what are reasonable/convincing reasons for not paying tuition yet, considering school resumes in about a week or two ?

Ayoola03:
Lol, you be wizard bro

lol i guessed right. I b ladokite too set 2016 but finished 2018. I am pursuing my canada dreams too. Applied for my visa already.

I'm planning to change school immediately I'm issued my student permit, that's why I haven't paid yet, but I can't tell this to the POE guy. So I just need better reasons in case I'm asked.

Thanks guys.

Greatest ladokite! I stan we cant wait to welcome you to maple land, speedy approval on it way by his grace

i am actually an engineer working in an oil company...earn good money and live well....but know that we have no respect here. Guy, no place like home. If i earn half the money i earn here in nigeria, i will think seriously about coming home

Whaooo... Been away and just bumped into this.
the response got serves you right. You were so insensitive to the widow.

The person in the best position to request for tuition receipt is the VO. In most cases, they dont request for your tuition receipt at the POE, I have never seen any cases of such tho, they only ask you questions to make sure you know where you are going to and your purpose in canada. But anyone who had similar experience can drop their inputs.

You actually took a risk by not paying at all before submitting your app bro, you can always request for a refund when you get to canada and can easily switch course/school afterwards.

Thanks for the info... I'm sorry I'm new to all of this so I don't know what you mean by SOP and V.O

I'm already doing research on a couple of Canadian Universities but still stuck on where to check for their fees and requirements. Please which ones will you consider the most affordable universities that can offer MSc in Computer Science? Can you suggest like 3 for me please that you would advise a Nigerian with low budget should attend? I can continue the rest of my research from there. Thank you!

Everyone has a chance. Why don't you wana go for a BSc?

Okay, so which masters program would you advise a graduate of Entrepreneurship to go for that'll guarantee higher chances of admission?

SOP - Statement of Purpose
It basically includes the candidate's personal interests, goals, academic progress and motivations for the chosen career path. It's optional but you'd actually need to submit one because of your career switch.

V.O - Visa Officer
Any individual that handles your student visa application.
