Hi,

I can't speak to issions process for University of Saskatchewan specifically but student copy transcripts are typically acceptable for ission applications. If your application is otherwise qualify, you will get a conditional ission offer and then required to submit the official or missing documents before you get the final LOA. I don't know whether the "To Whom It May Concern" would suffice in place of a degree certificate but if it does include a statement to the effect that your certificate is being processed then it could fly. However, in future whenever you are in doubt ask questions. I would have suggested you sent an email to the issions unit and ask these specific questions and they would be in the best position to advise. Regardless, you have shot your shot and so just wait, hope and pray.

It shall end in praises.

Hi
Thanks for the immediate reponse @iampaulsmith
I am new here so still trying to get used to operating this platform.
My question was about the UCID Number in the university of Calgary and I got a response that it would on my student portal on the site.
I have signed in and it says I don’t have a UCID Number.
Pls iampaulsmith I need more guidance on this as time isn’t on my side.Sent you a follow request.Will be waiting for your response or any other person who can help as soon as possible.Thank you so much

Thanks a lot for your swift response. I tweeted them and they said I couldn't go ahead with the booking as I needed to come along with the card. They have voided the booking already. They said it's a policy ish. Maybe because of where it originated from.
I'm trying to get someone from there to help with it.
Many thanks again

You should give them a call. Load enough airtime because you might have to wait for long before you get connected.

All the best

Thanks so much for your advise.
I have taken one of your advises and acting on it already.
It's unfortunate that transactions from this side are scrutinised like this. I'm trying to get someone to help with the transaction. The booking has been voided.

Thanks again for your help.

Akannitommy:
Hi,

I would suggest you cancel the booking and ask your sponsor to transfer funds into your . Otherwise tell your sponsor to book through a local agent if they won't be able to transfer funds to you. Once you get the funds, pay for the ticket by yourself. Unfortunately, the low monthly limit on card amount payment would be a problem here. So think about alternatives.

However, if all these are not possible, you may get your sponsor's details, colour photo ID printed along with image of the bank card. This is a long shot and last resort but know that it could backfire too. If your sponsor has the same last name as you the fight and risk may be worth it but not guaranteed.

This is not the first time am hearing about this or experiencing something related and it boils down to the reputation our dear countrymen have built that now rubs off on every compatriots. I bought ticket using a prepaid $ card for my friend's family a couple of years back on their way to him in NZ. I had to hand over the card to the wife to take along because we bought the ticket online directly through an international travel agency. Unsurprisingly, the card was requested right from MMA before they could board. Imagine if we didn't think about it and plan appropriately.

Also, I couldn't pay for my quarantine housing from Nigeria but had to get my brother do it from the US because payments from and to Nigeria were not permitted in www.transferwise.com however, I informed them in advance and they approved it because we have same last names.

So it is not impossible even as it is but you need to make efforts to guarantee there won't a problem because of the card midway.

100k x 12 = 1.2M (approx 3800CAD)

When I converted the 15M it was around 48k CAD (could be less or more cause of exchange).
The POF is okay, considering flight and some extra costs will be covered too.

If you sign the agreement with your employer, it's a really beautiful home tie. But I think his refusal to show his bank statement will be a problem. The VO needs to know he can actually pay for the second year's tuition.

I'm sure the gurus in the house can shed more light.

IT WILL END IN PRAISES

Thanks a lot. I will update you guys

mcobex:
If you must sign the bond, let them pay your first year tuition then, them saying they will pay second year without showing any commitment might not fly(not like the company has any past relationship with the Canadian government).

Thanks again for your help.

mcobex:
An employer that can't show his SOA but promises to pay tuition fee for second year won't fly at all. I will advise they pay first year tuition (since the applicant will sign a bond that he will work for them for 5 years after graduation).

It’s sad but this is the reality we face in Nigeria

ConradAce1:



This your thing is getting deeper. That company would need to release their BS serving as exhibit A showing their history stipulating they are financially formidable to finance your overseas studies and NOT just a letter.
Please don’t rush with this.

I guess they’re concerned about me seeing the inflow and outflow.

Thanks a lot

Insanity:


Be careful of bonds that compel you to come back after your studies. Most permanent resident routes doesn't such, if you have any kind of sponsorship or scholarship that requires you to return to your home country, you're automatically not eligible. This is based on information I'm not certain of, please confirm this before you tie yourself to a tree.

Goodluck.

Please explain the words in bold.
Thanks.

I have replied your mail. Do get back to me

Hello everyone,
I am in the process of applying for an 8 month post graduate certificate with a proposed start date of September 2021.
I am married and have a 1 year old son. My sponsor is my dad he is retired but receiving pension. He is paying the tuition for the entire program duration and he will transfer the cost of living expenses to my bank prior to submitting my visa application. He will also submit his bank statements and landed properties.
My mum has agreed to take temporary custody and care of my 1 year old son while I travel to Canada for the 8 months program. My husband lives in the same town with my mum and he is currently unemployed but intensively looking for a job.

What documents can I submit regarding my mum taking temporary custody and care of my son during my absence?
What other advice can you give regarding my situation?
Thanks

Hi,

If you are going for a PH.D, it's best for you to go for a PHD program that is fully funded (By the School or Department). Most time, PHD in Canada and other countries has funding available cos of it's duration, research intensive and other factors .


Due to the Competitive Nature of Graduate School in CANADA, don't limit yourself to one province (ONTARIO), explore other schools in other provinces.


Visit the first two links below and google search the programs there (Biochemistry & Chemistry)

Also look downwards & google the schools offering PH.D in Food Science.

PHD in Biochemistry
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Biochemistry&program_level_merged=Doctorate&program_language=ENGLISH

PHD in Chemistry
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Chemistry&program_level_merged=Doctorate&program_language=ENGLISH

PH.D in Food Science

PhD in Food Science
Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia

PhD Food Science
University of Guelph, Ontario

PhD in food science
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan

PhD in food science
Memorial University of Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador

PhD in Food Science
University of Manitoba, Manitoba

PhD in Food Science (Vancouver)
University of British Columbia, British Columbia

PhD in Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry
McGill University, Quebec

Now ,how can you start the process in Securing Supervisor/Supervisors (Professors), getting a Fully funded PH.D Position etc.

go through all the content in link below in to to

Gurus/menbers that have ed through Grad. School (PH.D) will guide you more better based on their experience


Also,

If your intentions is to become a Permanent Resident (PR), you can give Canada Express Entry (EE) a Shot

- With your M.SC
- And your age still looking good (not yet 30, cos once you clock 30 , you gonna start dropping points),

you seem eligible to have more CRS Score

In a nutshell,
before you Clock 30, you can work towards EE

For more details & guide on EE, visit the EE thread via the link below

mcobex:
3 months to the start of your program is not bad, you can simply tell them you want to know the city very well before your program starts, as you won't have that much time during studies. But you know going 3 months earlier means more money to he spent, so make sure you have enough cash to cover all that

Ok mcobex,

Thanks for the information and tips, I will look into that

Chocs:
Hello lentomac


2) Try Ethiopian airline. Compare the price on their website to wakanow price

1) I can’t think of a good reason for resuming 3 months before the start date, sorry. 1 month is fine, without need to give reasons. Maybe others can help with this question.

Best wishes

Wow , thanks Chocs

JosephYemsol:
look for noel abingwa on youtube... he addressed this.. he went 6 months before start date... according to him, he was almost asked to return... check his videos plz

Wow, God bless you,

Almost all PhD program comes with full funding, so try to search for schools offering your intended research interest in your preferred province then them to see if they have a place for you.
I can't give you names right now, but Google search will go a long way in helping your case.
Good luck

@harley4 this is another option. Your profile is good enough for Express entry route.

Can someone clarify this.

femredhead:



If someone is working at one of the Local Government in a state and the Local government service commission is ready to sponsor the person financially by giving the letter explaining that.

Is the letter of financial backup from the local government service commission is sufficient for proof of fund as the employee is a unified staff and meanwhile the government can't give out statement of to the workers?.
