Thanks Mr John snow
But I'd like to ask if sop for admission is different from sop for visa application.
And how important is writing sop for visa application ?

Much appreciations... Thanks

There is no far difference between both, as I have also been a witness to someone who used the Letter of intent that was use to gain an admission, also included to the application(without a new SOP) that landed an approval.

Its advisable to note that there is difference between academics(for professors) and immigration(for VOs), if your letter of intent has the necessary Info's the VO would want to see, then no need for a new SOP otherwise, get a new draft. Your SOP should be detailed in respect to only the vital Info's that would help your application.

The SOP is important given to the fact that Canadian embassy rarely requires an interview and so, the SOP represent such interview on behalf of the applicant.

BTW many applicants has gotten positive decisions without an SOP but it also depends on the circumstances of the applicant's application. Its advisable you include it to avoid a film trick

Thanks in advance for your response.

Generally, management courses/programs comes lucrative as a career. Management has many branches from Human/Health, Business, and Global etc. There is always a feasible "fit" for employment or menial jobs.

In terms of work experience, that's to the reasons the Canadian government enabled the PGWP program to permit the international students acquire work experience as long as you have a valid permit, you can work for any employers.
Getting a job could also depend on the province.

BTW how much is the deposit fee? and the tuition fees for your program??

Thank you.

Gaining an admission into a Master's program in Canadian university is tedious and highly competitive. There are other criteria like able to secure a supervisor, research interest, written essay, publications/projects are also dominant factors in support to an academic profile that determines wheither an admission would be secured.

You should want to know that Canadian university admission isn't totally dependent on merits but also strongly other factors as part which was aforementioned. Most universities use the academic profile of the last two years to assess a prospective student while few others don't.

Its not infeasible to secure an admission with a lower class result but its very tedious and almost seems infeasible. Your best bet would be to apply to some universities(maybe 3 that have less popularity) and colleges(maybe 2) depending on your resources to stand a wider chance.

You might want to consider Lakehead University, Memorial university, Simon Fraser University, Thompson Rivers University etc. Google would be your best enabler

Good day,
Am Ayo a graduate of Physics with an offer to university of Ottawa physics masters course fall Sept 2019. (graduated 2015, NYsc 17..gp 4.21, 27yrs)
I am about applying for my study visa but have some questions
My sponsor doesn't have any idea of sponsorship letter and asked me to draft one which I don't also have the idea!
I got a job with pay less than 100k...6months back.. Is it necessary I include this employment offer in the visa application? Thou my company doesn't pay with slip.
I don't have travelling experience nor savings apart from my sponsor which is a citizen of Canada. Plz I need your help on what to do, which documents could be required from the sponsor for a successful grant. ?

Which other backup should I personally include.? Your quick response will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hello Ayo,

Hope well.

Your academic profile is impressive, well done. Age and Travel history are points of concern. I will try to suggest what you can do to navigate your situation.

1. Sponsorship Letter- I will send a simple format to you through personal messaging.

2. It is very excellent that you have a job that pays you. At least you will be demonstrating to the VO that you are valued in Nigeria and have strong potential to grow, hence an indication to show that you may intend to return, but I will get back to that!

3. Here is the complex part, please try to follow, so you don't make mistakes.
a) You need to convince the VO of 3 basic things to get your study permit approved. I will take them one after the other.

i) Clear purpose of visit- In your case its your intention to study as evidenced by your excellent academic achievements, and letter of admission into a Canadian DLI. So for this I score you and A-minus.

ii) Ability to Fund item (i)- You must be able to demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that you can afford to pay for your tuition fees and every other associated fees during your stay in Canada. Here I have a few problems. It appears your sponsor is a third party. With the current economic situation in Nigeria, the VO will wonder why a third party would be willing to spend so much on your studies. This could raise a red flag. You have to be able to demonstrate to the VO that you have has a 'long' term relationship with this person, and that is why he/she has vested interested in helping you reach your maximum potential in life. Also what is the source of income of the sponsor, working class, or self employed. The person must be able to show a viable and verifiable source of income.Finally, I would suggest you pay at least your tuition fees for 1st semester if possible, you pay for the whole session. This will show/demonstrate to the VO that your sponsor is indeed willing to invest in your education. In this area I score you a C+ (if you can get the sponsor to pay for tuition fee upfront, having the money in the bank account is no longer sufficient these days).

iii) Intention to return to home country on completion of item (i)- Bros, this is the hardest part to consider. Lets say you scale through items i and ii, you must scale this as well. With respect to your work experience- you don't have a lot, its not really a bad thing, but is your work experience related to your future studies, or just a stop gap job, you did not specify that here? Age- You are at an age or demographic is considered a high risk. These are highly young, mobile, Nigerians, who do not have a lot of prospects back in their country, hence wanting to use the study permit as a route to permanently settle into Canada. The Study permit is a permit that has what is called Dual Intent (both intention to study and and intention to settle). Even though you are emphasizing the fact that you want to study, the VO will look at your profile and could make a decision whether you will come back or not. Travel History- Bros, at 27 and no travel history to any developed country is a very high risk factor. If you had travel you can 'shakara' the VO that I have been to US, UK, Dubai, I did not over stay my visa, I came back home. This gives you credibility. But in your case, there is no precedence to measure what you would do. Here you wil lneed to write a solid SOP that will show that you have some novel invetion you will like to come back to Nigeria to implement. e.g you can focus on how you have interest in renewable energy technologies that will help resolve the power problems in Nigeria. how you hope to start-up a small business that would be involved in such practices. So with respect to Item iii, I would score you a D.

Now this is just my honest assessment based on personal experience. There is a factor you I have not put in here. It is called Divine Favor factor.

Please try to put all the aforementioned in place, then pray well, and God will see you through.

All the best.

Cheers

Omofar.
