Hello guys, Please i need your help on this,
I want to apply for WES credential evaluation. My degree certificate bears my maiden name different from the name on my International passport. On the WES account i used my present name.
My question is will the different names affect my WES credential evaluation and how do I reconcile both names?
Thank you

While you await the response from the gurus, here is my opinion.

I think you might have to contact WES. However, if you can provide affidavit or proof of change of name due to marriage or what applies to you i believe you are good to go.

I doubt if you can get a Masters admission with that CGPA.

The 3.0 required by the Canadian school is on a scale of 4.0 not the 5.0 grading scale of Nigeria

That is,
3.0 out of 4.0 is same thing as 4.0 out of 5.0

2.84 CGPA from 5.0 is lower, even when you convert it to 4.0 grading scale it will be more lower.

With the above 2.84 CGPA, look out for a Post Graduate Certificate program in a Civil Engineering related field

but all the postgraduate am seeing are 1yr.. I need a 2yrs prog that can qualify me for 2yrs PGWP

You don’t have any issues. When filling in your degree certificate details, there is usually a column they ask if the credentials is coming in another name and sometimes a follow up column with the reason why

Hi guys,

I just got a second rejection from ircc, I was about to make payment for the winter session 2021 when I got the news as shown below;

Please note, they never requested for any documents or IELTS from me.

• Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more: your qualifications,
previous studies, level of establishment, language abilities, or your future prospects and plans.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of
residence.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.


This was the reason for rejection from the first application in September 22 below;

Pursuant to paragraph 220(a) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and
available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or
program of studies that you intend to pursue.

• Pursuant to paragraph 220(b) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and
available financial resources, without working in Canada, to maintain yourself and any family
members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study

@Justwise and other gurus. Your help and guidance is needed here.

My own love letter has arrived! Who am I that GOD is so mindful of!

I will share timeline soon.

Catching my breath, this is all I can type for now!

I just finished raking at Canada high commission, Lagos. First, they said that I had to book an appointment and that I should go home and send a mail. I didn’t go all that way just to go home. So I stayed, I printed all my ppr, passport page and 4 emails from vfs. The lady said that she can’t collect the paper because of corona. I still stayed oh. I said that I was not going anywhere till I spoke to someone, they called me from inside. After shouting, they said that because my file is not here that there is nothing that they can do but she said that she would inform the people in charge of printing in Abuja . They haven’t even printed my counterfoil sinceee. So I said okay but if I don’t see a change, I will come back tomorrow

opeey:

but all the postgraduate am seeing are 1yr.. I need a 2yrs prog that can qualify me for 2yrs PGWP

Yes you are right, but It is what is

Try to intensify your search for a 2 years program, you might aswell look out for a post from someone who can suggest a 2-year program in your Civil Engineering field

Alternatively,

Google search this course, check the overview & admission requirements to see if it's a program you can go for based on your Discipline.

They are both 2-years program

- Post Graduate Certificate in Applied Process Piping Design
Lambton College, Ontario

- Post Graduate Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety Management
Lambton College, Ontario

Hello guys,

Is there a way one can waive GRE requirements for Finance related Masters programs ?

@Justwise and other gurus. Your help and guidance is needed here.

Sorry about the temporary delay on your application. The reasons given in their decision letter are always generic as they are quoting the relevant section of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act that relates to their concerns on your file so you would need to order for your GCMS notes to see the specific concern of the visa officer that worked on your file.

I noticed the remark that is reoccurring in your first and second applications is the concern of the VO on home ties to your home country. If you are applying with your family, you may want to apply alone so you can use them as additional home ties then they join you later but first apply for your GCMS notes to see the specifics first.

All the best.

Chai nor be small ranting ooo thank you for the updates so we don't even know where the delay is coming from I think Abuja and Lagos are now operating on the same level no difference!!!.

Ketima:
Please house, kind of confused. Since we will do biometrics, do one still need to take the digital passport for his or her application?

Guys please help me out. If you known please don't ignore and pass. Am doing my application and by myself so don't want to make mistake as this my first attempt.

In the language section of form 1294E, as we are a English speaking nation, hope I can tick english as native language?

Again, I have IELTS general, written last year with 7,7,7,5.5(reading). Now, do I need to indicate I have IELTS or not in the And if in the future they indicates this NSE I keep reading here, can it suffix or I must take another one that will be atleast 6 in all module. Pls kindly help a brother thanks.

Good day everyone, LONG POST ALERT (But believe me when I say it is supposed to be longer)
I have been a silent and longsuffering reader of this thread, actively reading since like Part 14 or 15.
On Tuesday the 9th of February 2021, I got the much-awaited PPR!
This is my gist:
December 2019, I reignited my dream to go to Canada. I genuinely wanted a career change from Law to HR. I finished with a 2:2 (Second Class Lower) in both Law and my first degree in English (I’m a young old man – 27 going to 28), and a 2:1 (Second Class Upper) from Law School. It was good enough to get me a decent job in Nigeria but the reality is stark and rather disappointing (Nigerian Lawyers dey suffer… but that is gist for another day).
With deep research, I chose to make the career switch, starting with paid online course which bagged me a diploma in Human Resources. I took this with hopes of one day becoming a specialist with my background in Labor Laws and Employment Legislation, by God’s grace. It was a big and tall dream. My target job and related field was and is increasingly always in Top 3 in-demand and top paid jobs in Canada. But we all know man proposes and God blesses as He wills.
I initially started off with interest in Express Entry under the FSW, but the impediment was my years of foreign work experience - less than a year. I wrote my IELTS and passed with 8.0. Overall Band Score, did my evaluation with WES (getting a transcript from Nigerian institutions is a task I wouldn’t wish on my enemy) but the CRS score was still too low. The only way to boost is was to effectively be fraudulent and risk a five-year ban. No, that was too much of a risk. I was advised by an acquaintance to try study route. How? I had no knowledge of it and I didn’t graduate with 2:1 that I could try Masters. I did my research and applied to two schools for a Business Diploma in Human Resources (I was adamant I wanted Saskatchewan for “personal” reasons.) and got admission offer into Great Plains College, Swift Current. This was EIGHT months after I started my Canada plans. I dumped EE for study with age not really being on my side as I intended to use my mother as the sole sponsor (Salary was nothing to write home about) for an ordinary diploma… me, a graduate with two university degrees, NYSC, and a qualified Lawyer. The odds were heavily and massively stacked against me. I waited and waited and waited and it seemed the world was passing me by and I wasn’t making progress. I broke down many times and kept my sincerity in my relationship with God even in my imperfection.
Nairaland and this thread is a big blessing. I got so much insight from being humble enough to learn from everyone.
My Application Timeline goes thus,
- Applied Online: October 6, 2020
- Biometrics Request: October 7, 2020
- Biometrics Completed: October 9, 2020
- NSE Additional Document Request (MyBankStatement Cert): November 24, 2020
- Upfront Medical after waiting and not getting request: November 25, 2020
- Medical Updated to Passed: December 2, 2020
- NSE Additional Document Uploaded: December 2, 2020
- NSE Additional Document Received: December 4, 2020
- Eligibility Review Started: December 4, 2020
- Deferred January Admission to September and informed IRCC with the new Acceptance documents via webform and mails to the three Nairobi e-mails.
- Requested GCMS Notes: January 28, 2021
- PPR and BVL and GCMS Notes all dropped: February 9, 2021
A total of FOUR months and 3 days passed and EVERY SINGLE DAY was excruciating. I prayed, fasted, and made covenants with God. I dipped into depression more than once… He gave me Jeremiah 29: 11 and I prayed for favour every night before I slept and every morning before I opened my eyes, I reminded God of His promises in His word. I got my Joy back even before the miracle happened. I was instructed to do what Otunba, lekiboboe and especially Awys did in their various posts like https://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/228#98846426 and it worked! I am grateful to Blavkmaann , your posts gave me hope and cheered me up and FrankRobbn1 you’re a blessing. I can’t mention everyone but you’ve all inspired me.

Documents submitted:
1. Application for Study Permit made outside Canada (FORM imm1294e)
2. Application for Temporary Residence (FORM imm5257f)
3. Client Information
a. My Statement of Purpose
b. My Birth Certificate
c. My siblings’ Birth Certificates
d. My academic and professional certificates: First Degree Cert, Second Degree Cert, WAEC Cert, Online Diploma Cert, Law School Cert, NYSC Cert, and Call to The Bar Cert.
e. Academic Transcripts from both Universities attended (Student Copy suffices)
f. IELTS General Test Result
g. There was an IRCC Form filled from school I attached.
h. Police Certificate
i. Father’s Death Certificate
j. Study Questionnaire
4. Digital Photo
5. Family Information (FORM imm5645e)
6. Letter of Acceptance
7. International Passport Data Page
8. Proof of Means of Financial Support:
a. Sworn Affidavit for support by mother duly notarized
b. Letter of appointment/confirmation of appointment at work for mother
c. Salary Payroll of the sponsor (mother) for 6 months prior to application
d. Sponsorship Letter
e. Relevant Work certificates for sponsor
f. Printed and scanned Bank Statements of sponsor for 4 months prior to application (Current and Savings totalling 5.4 M Naira)
g. Proof of Sponsor’s Rent Collection over property signed by her Lawyer.
h. Receipt and confirmation of payment of Tuition Deposit of $CAD 8,500 for a Semester
i. Sponsor’s International Passport data page
j. Certificate of Occupancy of sponsor’s property
k. Employment/Work Identity Card of Sponsor
l. Bank Investment Account worth 3.04M Naira

NOTE: When I got the NSE Request for a Mybankstatement Cert, I initially sent series of webforms and mails that I don’t want to do because I was seeing $CAD 30,000 minimum when we barely had half! I was led to submit it with a balance of 3.6M Naira (having already paid $CAD 8,500 deposit) because upon reading the letter again, it said “Proof of Financial Support A mybankStatement certificate showing sufficient funds for your studies for at least 6 months and 12 months of banking history”, which mean (to my new understanding) half of the requirement for a year’s sufficient funds… English can be hard.
Let me not bore you. I hope and trust I have been able to restore someone’s faith here. Don’t be moved by what you see (even on this forum, I saw people with over ten times of what my mother has and even being fully-funded and what not, not getting approved, I’m not despising anyone - God forbid, just keep the faith and DO YOUR HOMEWORK well, God cannot be mocked.), your joy is key – don’t lose it, keep busy and don’t stay idle - depression sets in faster then, a delay can never be a denial.
I’ll be resuming September 2021. Let me stop here, it has ended in praise!

Please what was your CRS score?
I took the mock test and my score came out 431.
Is that a good or poor score?
I am yet to formally start the express entry application though.
Also, how much would I require to show as proof of funds if things worked out? Would I need to have it stacked up?

Mrtoke:

Thank you all so very much. For those still waiting, it will surely end in praise. Just hang in there. To all those taking time to answer questions and offer direction, hmmmmm GOD will bless you all and you will never lack help.

* When I got the NSE request mail, I was a bit troubled because I had an IELTS result that clocked 2 October 22 last year and I was being asked for IELTS result in December.
I sent the result like that and I also included a letter of explanation stating that the Result was valid from October 2018 to October 2020.
I sealed with faith and left it to GOD.

My application was far from perfect but the Mercy of GOD prevailed.

A police character certificate is not necessary for Nigerians? Can you please elucidate on this please. Secondly, what if i don't have up to a million naira in my bank account ? Could that automatically be a reason for denial ? Thirdly, as regards the medicals, is it important to go for the medicals even before applying for the visa.

fratermathy:


Congratulations on your admission to such a prestigious university. Feel free to ask any question you have concerning the study permit application process.

In addition to what others have already said concerning your questions, I just want to emphasize the fact that a police clearance certificate is not needed for a study permit application. If you want to go ahead and get one, that's a personal choice but Canada doesn't need one from Nigerians.

As for proof of funds, please attach a statement of account with at least N1,000,000 or get someone to gift you that amount or more and then explain in your SOP that the money will take care of travel costs and other miscellaneous expenses. Do well to establish strong home ties and show personal assets or job prospects. Canadian VOs do not make exceptions for anyone, even if you have all the funding in the world. Do your best to submit a tight application and rest assured that it'll be approved with ease.

Congratulations! Please catch the breath very well
This week shall favour us by God's mercy
