Nkechi48: It depends on the province. Some province require that you have a job before you apply for provincial nomination. Others require that you should have been working for 6 months. Others 1 year. So imagine you get a 1 year post graduate working permit. Then it takes you sometime let’s say 5 or 6 months to get a job. If the province required a 6 month or 1 year working experience then you will be out of time before you qualify. But if you do a 2 year program which gives you 3 years working permit, no matter what you would have sorted yourself out before the 3 years are over. Bearing in mind that you can only get post graduate working permit once (it cannot be renewed) it is better to go for the option that gives you more time. 4 Likes |

fruitfulie: Sorry about your previous refusals. However, there isn't a direct answer to your questions but I'll say this; 1. You only need to show proof of funds for the first year. So you add up your tuition for a year, living expenses for a year, additional living expenses for accompanying family members. 2. It will be wise to apply alone with your infant child. When you get in your husband can join you on open work permit. 3. If you got refused based on not convincing them you'll return in your previous applications then it is better not to complicate issues by applying with your family. That I believe is a red flag. 4. You need a super convincing SOP for deviating to the field you chose and for also going for a PGD program after your MBA. This is the most important part. 2 Likes |

fruitfulie: Hello Fruitfulie, In paying your tuition fees, you should contact your prospect school directly to get first-hand information or check your admission letter if its written. Your other question is incomplete. For broader advises, you should state if its a self-sponsored or spouse sponsorship and if its a family application, if I got you currently. Also, details about your previous refusal; date applied and refused, complete reason(s), GCMS notes remarks, personal circumstances. This would enable people to advise against or opting for a family application. BTW I am very much interested on this NGO initiative of yours. All the best |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Daum: 7:04pm On May 04, 2020 |
Okay family I just got out of school last year with a 3.57 CGPA. I am yet to go for NYSC because of this covid 19, but hopefully I will be going with Batch A Stream 2. I want to start this journey on time so that by the time I am done with NYSC I should probably be here sharing my testimony of a Student Visa. I am thinking about applying for a research/ project based MSC program to a university that the tuition fee is affordable. My sponsor is my dad, but my steps mum account is fatter than his, so I don't know which to use. Also, I have an uncle who just migrated to Canada last year but he has had his family over there for more than 6 years now. His daughter is a citizen and his wife is a lawyer there now. Do I have to indicate all this to the VO. Thank you very much 2 Likes |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Qudkom(m): 7:08pm On May 04, 2020 |
Daum:Your CGPA is a quit low to be considering msc program in Canada. The msc programs are very competitive so I think a Graduate Certificate program will be a good fit for you. Also you can make use of 2 sponsors it only makes your application strong. You can also declare you have family members in Canada it improves your ties to Canada. |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by fruitfulie: 8:04pm On May 04, 2020 |
Thanks so much for your response. I would stick to your advise to go with my little baby first, and in few months request for my spouse and older daughter. As per SOP, you mean I should project strong reasons for deviation to the school and most especially to consular right. To be sincere, I am changing career as day in day out, I am loving my probono adventures more than my profession. However, I am opened to any advise anyone has so far its in line. Thanks Qudkom.

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Jadel03: 8:43pm On May 04, 2020 |
I would like you to clarify your statement below just to get more understanding. I was thinking admission applications are looked at holistically. What if one has a good Gmat score like (650) and a convincing SOP, would a masters admission (Msc/ MBA) not be possible with a low 2:1 (3.5-3.6) like the the guy stated? Please help shed more light.

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Nobody: 8:44pm On May 04, 2020 |
Thank you for your response. A quick one, can I apply for 1 year PGD, then before the end of the program, I get another PGD program just to make it 2 years of study. Does this count to make me get 2/3 years PGWP? Luckymama: |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Qudkom(m): 9:25pm On May 04, 2020 |
Jadel03:Yes it is possible. Although the admission criteria always state a minimum B average. Some schools are lenient and consider the last 4 semesters but definitely GMAT, work experience et all can always supplement. P.s: the primary admission requirements will always be considered before any other qualifications and most msc programs have quotas so I guess you understand the drift. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Qudkom(m): 9:25pm On May 04, 2020 |
Nkechi48:Yes people do that so it's possible. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Naijaforeigner: 9:37pm On May 04, 2020 |
Luckymama: Yes it has a time of the year and there is a limit on the number of applications accepted. I think it is first come first served basis. |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Naijaforeigner: 10:12pm On May 04, 2020 |
Nkechi48: Hi Nkechi, I understand why you asked this question. Some people believe that if you apply for a 1 year program, you may not be granted your visa because ………..It is a very popular saying. I know some Nigerians that applied from Nigeria that got approved for 1 year visa. I will suggest you pray about it and follow your heart. 1 Like |

Good day All, Please I have an urgent request . I just got a mail now from university of Windsor that may application for fall 2020 has been automatically moved to winter 2021. I applied for masters in accounting and finance international I also have a pending application with university of New Brunswick . No decision yet on that one Please I would like an advice on any cheap school that I can apply to for September 2020 or January 2021 intake for finance or business related masters degree or MBA My brief profile : I have a strong 2:1 in Business Administration from Unilag I have over 5 years work experience as an accountant because am a chartered accountant (ICAN) and that opened doors for me in accounting Thanks I’m anticipation for fruitful advice and guidance 1 Like |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Naijaforeigner: 10:22pm On May 04, 2020 |
Nkechi48: Yes it does. It is what most people on 1 year visa do. I finished my 1 year program last year August, took 4 months break in between that allowed me work full time, made some extra cash and then started my second program January and will be done by August this year. You are allowed to get 150 days break between the end of your first program and the start of a new one. Once you are done with both programs, you will get 3 years PGWP. But you need to know that you will apply for a fresh study permit again for the second program. You need to carefully consider this; who is your sponsor? Will your sponsor be willing to give you their financial documents the second time when you need to reapply inside Canada? Just so you know, the same documents you will use in getting 1 year visa from Nigeria right now is the same documents needed to get 2 years visa. So why not just get the 2 years from Nigeria right now? If I may ask, why are you so interested in going for a 1 year program? 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hello good evening please I want to understand, meaning if one uses a particular sponsor for the first application Godforbid and gets denied he has to use the same person as a sponsor again without changing ? Naijaforeigner: |

Hi Nairaland Family, I was reading old threads and came across an old tradition that I believe would benefit all of us. If you are a 2020 TRV applicant, kindly share your profile so that we can rub minds together to establish a timeline as to how CIC operates. This idea was initiated by jnyuwa02 and sillysassysally took over and I would love to take the torch from her and if their is any other vital information that should be added to this template the gurus in the house should kindly draw my attention to it. Thanks Please see the template below to guide the information you’re to share 1. Sanwo-olu Applied online- Jan 25th Biometrics- Jan 31st Eligibility started- Feb 24th No medical request yet. As of today current status still shows eligibility review and background check 2. Buhari555 Applied via paper - Feb 12th Upfront medicals updated - Feb 20th Eligibility review - March 1st 3. Rochas Applied Online - Jan 5th Biometrics - Jan 6th Medical request - Feb 28th Passed medicals - March 5th Haven’t heard back on final offer Hoping for the best for us all! 2 Likes 1 Share |

taiwotosho22: That can't be ascertained... It all depends on the what the tuition fee of the school amounts to and the living expenses u are showing forth,with that u will know the idea of the minimum amount ur sponsor need to av in his/her SOA... Note: the minimum Living Expenses for international student is $10,000CAD, u can have more than that though Practically, ur Sponsor needs to show he/she can pay ur tuition fee and make available ur Living expenses (at least 1year Living Expenses which amounts to $10,000 CAD ,but if the school u intend to go is in Quebec, its $11,000CAD for a year Living Expenses there) And even after all this expenses, there must be a reasonable amount of money left for ur Sponsor, most especially in the case where u av younger Siblings he is taking care.(if its ur Dad or Mum that is sponsoring u)..., I stand to be corrected on this With that it will show that ur sponsor still has something to fall back on to take care of himself/Herself and your Younger Siblings etc. |

efetoski:From a Canadian context of 4.0 GPA Scale a B average will be considered 3.0/4.0 you can always make use of online platforma to convert your CGPA from 5.0 to 4.0 format. |

Chimzy4real:I definitely don't have a say about your chances just speaking from a broad perspective of msc requirements in Canada. I am sure if you scan through the admission requirements at the university you applied you'll see it. |
