If you read the note well youll see that the VO noted that there was an endorsement from his university.

I think the best option for him is to try express entry unless the university is sponsoring the MSc.

Yes, an endorsement could simply mean a study leave or letter of introduction in this context. It may not be detailed. I'm advising him to get a detailed reference letter in support of his program.

If his intention is to migrate, he could try express entry as you suggested.

Ooh.. You might need to reach out to persons outside Nigeria cos every Nigerian card has a monthly limit of $100 for a transaction. You can't pay with a Nigerian card

It was actually a very strong letter of Introduction from Thompson River University and not from Nigeria.

Get one from Nigeria. The VO is not concerned with TRU. His concern is with how the degree will be useful to your career as a lecturer. That is where his fears come from.

Well, I did.
I also clearly stated the reasons for this new program in my SOP. My B.Sc., M.Sc. and PhD are all in Computer Science and I need to specialize in Data Science and apply it to Healthcare. And we don't have any program for Data Science in Healthcare in Nigeria.
Computer Science is a general program while Data Science is a specialised program.


I think what you can do is to breakdown how data science will be helpful to you and how you can use to help healthcare companies

It’s going to be a whole lot of task. U will need to tell the VO how Specializing in Data Science Will help you career growth and the benefits with the fact that it’s a new field and you want to capitalize on that

Generally, you just need to let them know how the course will benefit you as a lecturer

Thank u all for ur suggestions.
However, if I provide all necessary documents and info as suggested, do u think the CO will not later ask why I am moving with my family? Though this was not raised as part of reasons for refusal in my first application.

It wasn't mentioned and I doubt if it'd be an issue since your job acts as home ties.

how many weeks does admission letter takes to be processed to this school
Patience

Check so many schools before applying, remember the school doesn't influence visa outcome.
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Chocs(f): 8:13pm On Oct 28, 2020
Most Nigerian banks put their limit at 100 usd which is less than the visa fee. If you have a dollar card (domiciliary account) that would work. I saw somewhere on this group that 2 banks still have their limits at 300 usd and you can use their cards. But I can’t remember the bank name. Hopefully someone helps out with that.

How did you guys pay for your visa online?, i have tried all my cards none work

He has already included it in this application and they have it on record. If he removes it he’s joking with a 5 year ban. Please don’t try it.

Good day everyone.
GCMS note received today.
Applied 26th September.

Timeline.
Applied 4th feb 2020
Request for parents of custodianship declaration July 13th
AIP August 6
Med Req Aug 13th
Med updated Sept 1.

Passport request since July (but request not sent by IRCC due to covid-19)
Admission automatically deferred to sept due to covid-19.
Admission deferred willingly to January as AIP doesn't guarantee Visa.

Obvious reason for delay is deferment and maybe school not yet approved for covid-19 readiness.


HOPE ALIVE.......
MAPLE LAND CERTAIN.

NB: Application for kid brother

Please note that parents statements were confirmed multiple times as seen on d notes

@Anon123, I appreciate your insightful comments and contributions on this platform.

However, I have concerns that the bolded suggestion put forward by you as regards @milkytins enquiry is misleading and falsifying.

Advising @milkytins to conceal the fact of having acquired a Masters and PhD in his reapplication is misrepresentation. Please note that withholding material facts relating to a relevant matter according section 40(2)(a) of the Canadian Immigration law would automatically render him inadmissible to Canada for a period of five (5) years. Therefore, I don't believe this is the best move at this point in his application.


milkytins:

Computer Science is a general program while Data Science is a specialised program.

@milkytins, truth be told it is almost impossible to convince the visa officer that you're a genuine student. The GCMS note has adequately enumerated the concerns of the visa officer and reapplying to study a master's program which is lower than your already completed degree doesn't show a career progression. As a consequence, I would strongly encourage you to explore the Express Entry route, max your IELTS (8,7,7,7), get your credentials evaluated by WES/ICES and apply to become a permanent resident of Canada. The PR route is straightforward and more assured once your documents are complete.

Just to encourage those with second class lower (2.2) not to give up. I got my offer of admission from university of Windsor for Masters program (MASC). Thank you Jesus! Now to start processing my visa

Some Nairalanders have been enquiring via mail as of how I got admission offer for MASC.

So, I'd like to explain what I did.

Being a thesis based program, I had to secure a supervisor. I sent several mails, some unresponded till date. The mail comprise of a cover letter where i speak about myself, my B.Sc research project, my skills. Also, I tend to skim through the supervisors profile so I can include 2 - 3 sentences about their work and how it relates to mine. All this to no avail as some will say no funding, no space, inadequate GPA, etc.

So I changed tactics. After finding a prospective professor, I'll look for one of his/her numerous journals and read. Sometimes, It would take like 2-3 days to understand the journal and how it relates to mine. I'll then write my cover letter praising his research work and suggesting likely recommendations. I'll use like 65% of the cover letter to speak about the prof and his work and use the remaining space to speak about myself and how my work will benefit him. Afterwards, I'll attach my transcripts, CV and Bsc research project.

In no time, this worked and I got a supervisor who accepted me. He felt elated that I read and understood his project. I sent him another mail to give me a chance. He said he was not promising but he will try to defend me before graduate admission committee.

With God on my side, I received my offer of admission. I give all glory to God.

I apologise for the long post.

Hi everyone,

I have been following this channel for sometime now... I have a few urgent questions.

I would like to know if anyone has tried to pay for tuition recently. I need to pay around 9,000 CAD for Lambton college for the first semester. I can see on Access Bank Western Union page that there is a sending limit of 1000 USD for each customer per quarter, does this apply to university fees as well?

Also, who has used Flywire, how does it work?

In summary, how can i process my fee payment within the next week as the deadline is fast approaching.

Thanks everyone.

Hailings sir, please I wanna verify if IELTS is a neccessary criteria for Nigerian applicants at lambton.

Thanks.
