What school? Everyone talks about coming to Canada for hands on work, not just theory. IRCC reads this statement all the time.
torn apart about the program choice for masters
- Thread starter Urgonnabeokme
- Start date
Guelph University, the program prepares students for PhD and i might progress into it as well but its too early to say it because i have only 1 research experience and didn't start my thesis yet
What program? Do you meet admission standards? Can pay first year tuition and show $20k?
Marketing and consumer science, for now i only don't have the GRE/GMAT exam results and then hopefully i can get a conditional offer until i officially graduate before the start of the fall semester. I know applying for visa with a conditional offer might be risky but that what most students do when they apply to grad school in their last year and i think the visa officer would be aware of this situation
Study permit will not be approved until unconditional offer is received. You have a four year degree?
I can graduate in the summer towards the midst of August, the university said as long as the official diploma is provided to them before the start of the fall semester it's fine. Do you think the visa officer would approve the visa in a month when I send them my diploma and a conditional offer? if its not possible to send some documents a bit later, then unfortunately i would have to defer the offer to the next semester or year
So are you completing a 4 year degree? You can apply but IRCC will keep your file on hold until unconditional letter is submitted.
I study in europe where undergrad degrees are for 3 years but 180 ECTS and they do accept it with some standards like for dutch bachelors degrees they require at least 7.5/10 to apply. However, i dont have european passport im on a student permit do you think it would be better to apply from my home country or in europe?

Laurea is a post-secondary education degree that lasts for 3 years and i have never said exchange semester gives 4 years, you sent me the equivalency of the NL but i wont get my diploma from a dutch university
But you mentioned Dutch in your post. Now you say Italy and I posted equivalency above. You need 4 year equivalency. You haven’t explained how you do.
