sponsorship:
the company sponsoring his owned by my uncle (but not same surname) who is also an american citizen but runs his accounting firm (also a contractor who has built 4 notable nigerians) here where he intends to sponsor from, and its a one year programme (18k in total) in addition my step brother is also in canada (over 10yrs) who has also sent documets/affidavit of support to provide financial assitance anywhere i need it and also i have a joint fixed deposit of 3mil with my dad for my disposal.

education:
i graduated with a bsc in science, with a diploma in shipping management with experience in the shipping sector and other professional cert, so my uncle is looking to employ me to manage a new branch he his opening soon so thats y he intends to sponsor my PGD in international business management so i can quickly gain practical knowledge of business management within a year and come back....

MissShakara:
Are you surprised? The boy too like fight, especially when his sidekicks cheer him on!

Riddeek:
well you see, there is a possibility of "failing" medicals, extremely rare though but the possibility exists

michV:
missshakara i guess you are new here and have not understood the system we do things here.don't patronize some debates if you can't bear the heat cos even some of us here are friends on chats already to have understood ourselves.some debates,comments are meant to hit up the boredom of the thread while also simultaneously being informative.

Don't let me out of my shell personally for you but meanwhile i don't like exchanging words with ladies especially premature gurls claiming ladies cos atimes it ends being baseless talks and pointless debates.

michV:
if he wants to retire from the forum,i can even help cook party rice for his retirement.

Meanwhile if you have carefully observed my moniker personally, i don't give or encourage hopeless hopes to any individual whatsoever here regardless of your person since where are faceless here.what am i saying in essence? Is that any organizational/company sponsorship for study permit/visa to an employee/individual will be rejected by the VO. Avoid company sponsorship because the VO will tick the 3 boxes of insufficient funds for you without remorse.

Riddeek:
heeyaaah!!! We'll miss you
But b4 then shey u fit carry me enter Canada?
Make i be the last wey u go help for here b4 vexation go make you lock up! I don mail you

KweenCee:
Hi thesoj,I sent you a mail. I plead with you to spare some time and respond. Thanks.

CassetteBoy:

Bro, pls do you have something like this for USA?
Also looking for Sweden, Australia and Germany.
A friend of mine is at the beginning stage of post secondary ish. Thanks

Haustraliah:
Stop criticising using an agent, they don't force any applicant.I think you go to them yourself.

Haustraliah:
But, I have observed few things.
Using an expert will advise you on the followings.
Never apply for PGD, PGC, ordinary diploma if your age is above 24.
Ask why?
On the cic form, there is no space for pgd, only what u view is diploma, which is lower to bsc.

Haustraliah:
3. An expert will view ur profile and advice u dat tuition deposit is not part of criteria they used in granting trv, and also assist u in writing a strong SOP.

I really empathize with the number of applicants on this thread who have had to wait 15-18 weeks only to get a visa denial thereafter. This is really frustrating and annoying.

Having said this, I want to share a number of thoughts:

There's been a number of posts lately on how "everything" about Canada is slow. Well, I'd like to tell you something. The US, UK, Denmark, and many (if not most) other in-demand western countries are also this way when it comes to immigration issues for foreigners. While the US Embassy (for instance) determines your visa fate in a few seconds, immigration applications made by mail to USCIS (the CIC equivalent for the US) within the US are just as slow as CIC (or even slower). Same for the UK, Denmark, and many other countries when it comes to applying for any significant immigration benefit by mail. Even Germany sef (the so-called super efficient no-nonsense country) often takes more than four weeks (or even up to 8 weeks or more in some cases) to approve student visa applications.

This doesn't mean that these countries in general are slow, nope. It just means several things:
a) the immigration staff are overworked and probably underpaid for the work they do
b) they are understaffed for the number of applications they receive
c) they have to take their time digesting applications, many of which are almost incomprehensible
d) they have to verify documents which takes a long time (especially for Naija applicants)
e) they have no incentive to work faster because this is not the private sector (where profits compel efficiency)
f) the services they provide are mostly to foreigners who pay no taxes hence they (CIC for instance) are not indebted or accountable to you and I!
g) also, their governments have zero incentive to sufficiently staff their Nigeria embassies because we have no political or economic clout to compel them to do so

There's also been a lot of complaints about the slowness to get refunds from Canadian universities or colleges. My points above still stand; it's the same thing. These schools are publicly funded schools which, even though they are light years ahead of every school in Nigeria in terms of their academic faculty and technological innovations, their administrative staff are slow (though organized) as they don't really have an incentive to rush on your behalf (especially since you are not there face to face) given that they have hundreds to thousands of current and prospective students to deal with.

My concluding statement would be to encourage you to not criticize a whole country because of the slow responsiveness of its immigration or schools. The slow pace is not a reflection of Canada as a whole, it is just an indicator of the economics and general inefficiency of the public sector compared to the private sector. It is also an indicator of the fact that Nigeria is probably at the bottom of the list when it comes to CIC allocating sufficient immigration staff.

In conclusion, if you want to be objective, don't be mad at Canada. Either be mad at Nigeria or be mad at the general inefficiency of governments (when compared to the private sector).

Having said all these, I once again empathize with your annoyance at the slow waiting times. It indeed does suck that CIC doesn't give a crap about making applicants wait so long (especially when they deny said applicant in the end)! The only thing you can do about it is writing a nuanced and sensible letter to someone who has the power or authority to advocate for or change the long waiting times; that'll be to someone in the Nigerian government or someone in the Canadian government. (@yemdogg and I actually finished writing such a draft about a month ago, but we haven't sent it to the Canadian Minister for Immigration yet sha... let me or @yemdogg know if you want a copy to send to whomever!)

Riddeek:

The thing is that is not the only thing you are going to be writing, that is in fact the easiest.
Even after a supervisor picks you, when applying formally you will still need to upload your research intent and alao why you want to pursue graduate studies over there.
As for cajoling supervisors, there is no specific format because you have to relate to them as per their research work. But ur first 2 statements matter a lot in deciding whether a prof will continue reading ur msg or just "mark as spam"... Yeah some actually do that.

You can start ur first paragraph like....
Thank you very much Sir for your time.

BeansAndBread:
Someone should please answer me na

metrecube:

Bro,
You may need to be more explicit about your claim. I checked through the links you provided above and none of them explain in clear term that a US visitor can apply for Canadian study permit from USA. I wont advice anybody to apply from USA unless the information is more explicit.

burrytee:

dearnursedeee:

curlybelly2164:
thesoj I appreciate your feedback. God bless you.

lawmerchant:

You forgot to state that this is your opinion and not a fact. First the opinion is wrong. Second, a visitor in US can apply for Canadian study permit from the US. (This is a fact). Most importantly, your chances of getting a Canadian study permit from the US as a visitor is far better than your chances of getting same from Accra (this is our opinion).

supergata:
Thanks for the correction and the answer. I am thankful. I am sorry i sounded rude.

supergata:
you closed my thread and referred me here without answering my question. and everybody here is also ignoring it. pls ansa me.

supergata:

curlybelly2164:
Hi, I'm new to this forum.
After my BSc. I got an MBA in International Oil and Gas Management from the UK (University of Dundee, Scotland). I had 2yrs work experience before doing the course, but that was in the Land Administration field.
I now want to pursue another masters in Canada and gain actual industry specific work experience too. I think it will be beneficial for me to study something more specialised which will give me skills for a specific role.
I'm currently considering:
Finance,
Logistics and Supply Chain
Information Systems/ Data Analytics
Could anyone suggest which schools or provinces are best for these courses considering my interest in the oil & Gas sector? I'm applying for fall 2017.
Thanks

Khalilrosul:
Please has there been any case where a text was sent by vfs that the application is ready and there was no prior mail for medical request and the visa was still approved?

burrytee:
@thesoj.baba I go like pm for an assistance. thank yu.

michV:
German schools according to their grading system require at least 2.5 to be eligible for masters admission with other valuation made on the required documents like Transcript, SOP and recommendation letters etc.you submitted. a CGPA of 3.0 in german grading system is 2.5 roughly which would have its own percentage mark when valuation is done on your application. so i'm sorry but a CGPA below 3.0 wouldn't favour.

any recommendations for uni in Ireland that are affordable? Given our exchange rate now

michV:
yes na..enter street in ur hood you would see guys never mind the country, the language,their concern is to cross boarders more especially to Europe not even yankee and they believe they would surely survive.i mingle with street guys cos that is where you get realistic informate and then you add it to your educational knowledge.no be this one some people never apply for admission/trv dem don dy find white collar job ..bad as e bad i give oyibo woman belly and she born for me,make i see y dia immigration no go give me valid papers..its never rosy as we think

hayqinsbFX:
london ooo...
thanks bro

michV:
To all those that cried/wept after their refusals,cry no more.
To those that have 2.2 class of 3.0 and above and you meant really studying, Ireland,Germany and Australia can comfortably give you masters admission in some of their institutions.
To all,canada is said to be land of opportunities but your fortune can locate you no matter what country you are even in our ailing country,Nigeria.but i know that my own fortune dey abroad,just that i am fighting Satan to break through.

Finally if you are saying it must be this particular country,your fortune fit dey another country oo,no be all wey go that particular country dey make am,some are still staying there illegally cos of shame to come back with nothing..people in small infamous countries like Luxembourg,cyprus, are making money there too .

Do not narrow ur search to a particular point! Forget about language barriers,people dey learn hausa,yoruba and igbo and speak them well as if it were their languages.
