Troup:
Hi Guys,
I submitted my application before finding out about this platform

Application Timeline
Submission: August 14th (Online)
Biometrics : August 15th
Medical request came on October 2nd
I did my medical Test at IOM on October 14th

Gurus in the house pls I need help, I am planning to reapply.

Hello House,

I’m going to be sponsored by two close relatives alongside my personal savings.
My budget is N2.5 million for the first program.
My questions are as follows:-
1. Which colleges in Canada can I apply for admission?

Any college offering your program is good. Just make sure you check for things like population of the city, work availability, living conditions, weather, and so forth. Please also check if the school has flexible payment plans just incase you have issues with funds while studying.

2. I understand you don’t require IELTS for some institutions in Canada, which ones please?

You are going to college, I don't think there is any college in Canada that requires IELTS. If there is, it will be waived once you let them know you were taught in English.

3. How much more funds do I require for my study and stay out there for the first certificate?

You need to look for the college that offers your program of choice, check out their fees for international students and then add $10,000 (except Quebec) to the fee, convert to Naira to get an idea of how much you need to show as proof of funds in your SOA.

4. Any quick guides that will guarantee me admission for winter session (January)?

We are almost in November, if you get admission for winter, before you get all your documents, fill out forms, do medicals, there is no way you can meet up. Please don't rush this process, calm down, take your time. Canada is there forever.
Obviously, the first step is getting an admission.

Please gurus, kindly assist point out loopholes in my plan and assist with guidelines to put me on track.

I am not a guru but this is my suggestion.

(1) From the questions you have asked, I can tell you have not read much about this TRV process.
I strongly suggest you get admission for spring, take your time to read up what it takes to get a TRV on CIC website (read it at least twice), read up on people that recently got approved and those that got delayed (the past 5 pages will help you), list out the list of necessary documents based on information on CIC's website and this forum, and then apply around December.
Canada TRV requires hard work and patience.

(2) If you see any college that offers a PGD with co-op in your preferred program, I will suggest you go for that instead of a PGC.

(3) Apply for your visa using your family as home ties. Once you get your visa and start school, apply for them to come join you on Spousal Open Work Permit which will allow your wife work unrestricted while you continue with your 20 hours work plus study. Trust me, you need all the help you can get financially, mentally and other areas while studying in Canada.

I wish you all the best.

Hello house
I hope u all are doing great.
Quick one, i got an admission at one of the university in canada.
But no fund to proceed. But i got a help from a friend which she's a PA to the wife of a govenor in nigeria, which she promise to give me a sponsorship letter from the office of the first lady....
My question is will i just submit the sponsorship letter with all the neccessary document together ? Did i stand a chance of getting my visa approval?
Note am only using the sponsorship letter as the means of fund.
Please house help a friend
Thanks all

holllowu:
Lol. Go ahead, encourage people to do what isn't right

Naijaforeigner:


- I am not a guru but I have some questions for you. I noticed you did not include your SOA in your previous application, why?

- You have a wife and kid you will leave behind, how will they survive in your absence? Is your wife working?

- Your mums 6 months SOA, is it personal or business?

- Why are you going for advanced diploma?

- You need a LOE this time around to address why your program (advanced diploma in Engineering is the best choice for you). You also need to mention your home ties (how your family is important and you plan on returning to them) and how your family will survive in your absence (you must be specific and show proofs).

I enjoin everyone to write to minister@cic.gc.ca and nairobi@international.gc.ca to complain passionately of the unfair and unreasonable treatment if Nigerian study permit and sowp applicants. Tweet at them too. They cannot ignore all the voices. I implore even those who ha ehadtheir visas approved to join in this. Let the voices be heard. Thank u

Hello House,

Please gurus, kindly assist point out loopholes in my plan and assist with guidelines to put me on track.

I’m about to apply for a postgraduate certificate program and I just learned that progression is important in choosing the academic program I apply for.
Initially, I wanted a short medical/nursing course for sake of relevance in the job market.

However, I have the following certificates from studying in Nigeria:-
 First degree in Accounting
 Post graduate diploma in Management
 MBA Financial Management
 IOSH Safety certifications

I’m trying to earn a 3 year work permit from doing two 8 month relevant courses and apply for PR afterwards.
My family will be home in Nigeria waiting for me while I earn my certificates and maximize the 20 hour work and study.
They will join me once I succeed with express entry when I complete my study.

I’m going to be sponsored by two close relatives alongside my personal savings.
My budget is N2.5 million for the first program.
My questions are as follows:-
1. Which colleges in Canada can I apply for admission?
2. I understand you don’t require IELTS for some institutions in Canada, which ones please?
3. How much more funds do I require for my study and stay out there for the first certificate?
4. Any quick guides that will guarantee me admission for winter session (January)?

Please gurus, kindly assist point out loopholes in my plan and assist with guidelines to put me on track.

Thanks in anticipation!!!!

Don't worry yourself if you have a bsc degree go ahead and apply. A graduate certificate is like the younger brother of MSc programs just that it is;
1. Streamlined
2. Affordable
3. You don't get to write projects
4. Lower requirements

P.s try and apply for a GC that offers Co-op terms

Hi people,
Second question is, the application opens by November 15th, is it okay for me to start emailing the supervisor?

yacha77:
They are lots of flight schools in Canada and in choosing, some things needs consideration but most important is your budget. NEVER think that you can work and pay your way through flight school so budget is impt. About bad schools, mostly are in the US, few in Canada and you fall when you go for the unrealistic cheaper school, as they say * penny wise and pounds foolish* . best aviation will help you narrow down your search and from my experience go for school in provinces with low cost of living, not the big cities. Holla anytime for specific info...............
