Come to think of it, when you come to Canada, you will meet different kinds of people from different countries. People from Jamaica, India, China and so on, how would you relate with them in school and in the work place? Remember cultural differences. You are in a team of 5, tasks have been shared and then 3 of your team members reference Wikipedia, blogs (which are not reputable sources), how would you tell them to remove it without getting them angry? Some of them will tell you outrightly that they cannot remove it and your lecturer will say, you need to solve it as a team. They won’t step in. Some of your team members in school will send you reports that are not up to standard or not properly written... how do you go about it? You will be in a class, and a student will keep asking questions over and over again. A lecturer will be in Ppt (PowerPoint) slide 20 and then one student will say, professor, can you please go back to ppt 5 and then start asking questions that have been answered repeatedly. You will experience it when you come to Canada. You will be in a team meeting with your members, and a meeting that should last 30 mins will stretch for up to 2 hours because of differences in how to approach the report, difference in having a shared understanding and so forth. What will you do? The last one, you are in a team, tasks have been shared and due for submission 11pm Friday. A team member plagiarized her work, sent her part of the work 9:15pm, the whole report was collated and because it was already getting late, report was submitted exactly 10:57 pm without checking through turnitin (plagiarism detector). Well I mean, one would think, you shouldn’t be in postgraduate studies and be plagiarizing work right? You will be shocked. Guess what, 3 days later, lecturer sends a mail to you as team lead, letting you know someone in your team plagiarized and everyone in the team gets a zero and all team members may get pink forms (it will be recorded in school records). What will you do? Sell out the team member who did it, get angry and insult he or she or take the fall together as a team? When you come to Canada, you will be shocked to see students in post graduate studies who don’t have the patience to read a 1,000 word report. In fact, once you have citizens of one particular country (name withheld) as team members, just start praying to God for grace. They are so laid back in approach and they are so comfortable with just getting a pass mark. But you can’t blame them, they were raised differently. You just have to be patient with how you manage And deal with them. The point is this, you need extreme patience, emotional intelligence, Knowing when to ignore, when to listen, when to respond, when to walk away and respond later and so forth in life and most especially in Canada. I am still learning. Big shout out to lekiboboe and Frank. These guys have PHD in patience and I am learning from them. 25 Likes 2 Shares |

Good afternoon people. I know someone in Canada who needs to extend their study permit, but their passport has expired. They cannot renew their passport in Canada because the Nigerian embassy here has stopped processing passport applications. What can they do?? |

Hello , Does this means the upfront medicals won't give a full visibility till the process is complete and is the up-front a wrong step to take rather than just wait to be sent a mail for medicals? thanks Nwannediutor: 1 Like |

Hello Lekiboboe, This bank statement you speak of, is this required to be sent to the Canadian embassy by the Banks themselves? I would like to know, if there would be another statement to be sent(by the banks , directly to the embassy) Lekiboboe: |

frostfr89: It means if u did upfront medicals and you get passport request, then your application is 90% sure of approval . if you didn't do upfront and just applied and later on IRCC sends you a mail to do medicals , your application is 90% sure of approval. |

Good evening all, Please I have an urgent question. I intend to print my bank statement possibly tomorrow, but a company I started work for last year and just completed it just paid 2M into my account. The company name and reason for the payment are well stated in the deposit and is in my second account different from my salary account. Do I need to provide any further evidence? or just explain? Grateful to have your feedback. Thanks |

frostfr89:Yes its the bank that would send it to the embassy by themselve, and the bank would also give u a copy of the Mybank Statement ticket , that will serve as what u will upload in ur Proof of Funds. But seems lately some of this banks and their branches can be funny as regards this "my bank statement ticket", so u might eventually get to visit at least 2-3 branches to do it, cos some might give one funny excuse that its a bank policy that they don't give out Mybank Statement ticket that its only meant for the Embassy. https://www.visa-mybankstatement.com/ And also try get a Bank Reference Letter , its a letter the Bank will write in favour of ur sponsor or yourself (if u are the one sponsoring yourself) confirming that u are a genuine customer of the bank and your account with them is satisfactorily operated. This letter is being addressed to the Canadian embassy, so u will get it from the bank (hard copy) or they mail it to u, then u will upload it to ur application as part of ur Proof of funds 2 Likes 1 Share |

This our never say Die spirit ... sometime you got pity for this country! Ultimately, we think we are progressing but NO we are not! If there are a Hundred people and Ten People survived , it is a failure , even if 20 survives , it is still a failure and not an option. Understanding is a problem because we quickly back it up with prayers . Corona Virus has hampered everything, from you education to your basic lives, and you are here telling people to continue to throw away their money probably because you must have wasted yours too. Have you been reading the latest on International students who have been admitted and cannot travel? Have they sorted them out? what is in it if you advise people to slow down a bit for a while and see how things pan out ? at least wait a while, Must you be desperate? You will be granted admission and you will pay school fees and start class on line without crossing the hurdle of VISA? kilode ![]() Corona is Almighty now Mr Young man because it has crippled economies but i understand, It is not to you because you have JESUS as your own country and economy!

Please Forgive me... I don't believe this your story! It is ok to say things and make it look perfect, but this sounds just too perfect to be true. FULL FUNDING in the US for why? because you worked for 10yrs? 2.2 will not even get your application viewed, did you write SAT? TOEFL and had exceedingly excellent grades in them ? Unless probably in an artisan school where you probably have to use your hands to work or do your courses or Vocational School that directly relates with you 10yrs work experience, else ....idonbliveit! Moving on, ... How did you sustain in the US with your family? You had to work and go to school and still made that CGPA? Oga na lie! You have to be extremely good to achieve that and that means you are even a 1st Class student in Nigeria. If you work and study in Canada, You have to be extremely good too because you cannot even meet up with assignment. A guy on this forum has been expelled from his school in Canada, he cannot even Fail, he literally don't have a presence in the class. I don't know if you did that write up to encourage some one, but the frailty of the composed is way over the TOP. Please Forgive me once again if i came in strong. neverlosehope: 1 Like |

Even if you check the monikers post he has given this same story 2 years ago (2018) so what does he gain lying to people he doesn’t even give a damn about He doesn’t know me, I don’t know him neither does he know majority of us here All the innocent man came to do was give hope to people not to give up on their dreams. Yes you have your opinion on matters, I’m not judging you it’s what you feel is right by you, you would say but please Permit me to say that was very rude of you and uncalled for. YOU are very mean and rude, it’s better you don’t even comment at all. I really don’t know where you have reached in life that you feel you can talk as you wish because it’s a faceless forum .. Please have a rethink about life Cause personally I feel you are not WISE at all and it’s not by education to determine wiseness I have checked your posts and seen you have a lot of negativity in you, For you to say school gives hope and embassy thrashes it that’s very mean . Yes people are getting denied from Nigeria, but is that what you should be wishing on someone. Can’t you be positive even if the outcome is said to comes out bad, Students seeking visas don’t end on nairaland thread, we have thousands of people outside this thread applying also. All I’m just saying is keep your negative side to yourself, There’s no time you comment that it always comes out fruitful God be with us all Best regards 10 Likes |

It is also because this is a faceless Forum that why you will say someone is "RUDE". Do a quick google and Read out the meaning of RUDE! The things i wrote or said , are they CANDID? Are they subjective? Are they Possible? I am not a natural person that tends to fall into the weather that fits everyone, I drop it the way it suits and walk away. You think people don't think? They actually do, and most of the time they listen more to the Voice in the wilderness~! You wanna see the number of mail request i get even with the whole Negativity? I should have been avoided ! I have guided people people, advised people and even solved most people's problem on his Forum, the last one even extended her appreciation way beyond necessity that the HUSBAND asked to meet me one on one, My brother people are thinking ! You may think all you need on the forum is sugar-coated positivism, that a Lie, You need me and my "Unwise" as much you want people to lick your toes! I could have also simply moved on, but No, i am sure my reply will help other, i decided to perch and do Justice. The fact remains, DID I MAKE SENSE? OR YOU ARE LOOKING FOR RESPECT?

Your friends situation is urgent. Try every means to contact the Embassy and book an appointment. A friend of mine was given an appointment for tomorrow. He just travelled to Ottawa this afternoon.

If you know anything about post-graduate studies in the US, you will know that it is very possible to have a 2.2 here in Nigeria and get a full funding for Master's in the US. In fact, a lot of people target US because of the funding opportunities. You said you help people and that is why I actually decided to reply you. I want to let you have the right info in case you meet someone that needs your guidance. I have the feeling you don't know much about it though because if you did, you won't be asking someone that went for Master's if he wrote SAT. Anyway it is possible and I'm a witness. I have atleast two of my classmates with a 2.2 going to the US this fall for Master's (If US embassy here reopens) and they are fully funded. In fact one got into University of Georgia which sometimes is ranked in 50-60th top universities in the US; depending on the ranking organisation. Compared to Canada, they have more universities in US, as high as 5000 - so applicants have more options. They look at your application package holistically and there are a lot of ways you can make up for an average CGPA. Standardized tests like GRE and TOEFL, match with a Supervisor, SOP, LOR and the likes. Some people even decide to evaluate their transcript and it is proven that WES evaluation boost CGPA, so if you have a strong 2.2 here in Nigeria, with the evaluation, your CGPA can be as high as 3/4 which is the minimum for most schools. Overall, the US is a land of opportunities, there's really no limit to what you can achieve. Follow some people like @momentswithbren on Twitter and LinkedIn, you will read people's testimonies. So bros, I come in peace, please change your mindset. I also implore you to do more research. vibrant99: 13 Likes |

vibrant99: To be honest, you are speaking out of ignorance. If you don't know something, it's okay but you don't have to say anything at all of you don't know it. Fact is there are plenty of people in the US with that grade who are studying or about to study. I personally know 2 of them. So stop please and put in more research. You'll see that it's true. You can send me a PM to personally talk to that my friend. For those that have that grade, I encourage you to look at the US as an option for a fully funded opportunity. Reread the post above me because it's the truth. 2 Likes |
