Update me on d latest admission, MBA n work,
Hello Ogunade,
In order for us to provide you with Canadian Master of Business Administration (MBA) school/course options that you meet the minimum admission requirements, we will need to have more background information about you. So, we have sent you an email to that effect.
You guys are doing a great job,please can I still apply for mba in Vancouver island university for January intake…and hope starting July is not late.
Hello Faith,
Unfortunately the application deadline for January 2018 intake into Vancouver Island University (VIU) has passed. It was 30th June 2017. The good news is that we can assist you to secure admission into an MBA program at another university in Canada for January 2018 start date. We can see that you’ve sent us an email, so we will reply back with further details.
Hi, Is it too late to apply for visa application for september 2017 intake now from Nigeria? Or do I ask for deferral from my school
The current average processing time for study permit/visa application from Nigeria, as provided by IRCC (formerly: CIC) is 14 weeks. Keep in mind that the processing time provided by IRCC is the time frame that it took them to process 80% of their applications. So, that means that 20% of their applications are processed either earlier or later. So, to be on the safe side, you may want to request for a deferral of your admission to the next intake. Alternatively, if you submit your visa application immediately and also get an upfront medical done, you may be able to meet up with September 2017 start date.
P.S: If I were in your shoes, I will defer the admission to the next intake. But the ball is in your court. All the best!

Hi;i wrote pte and i got 53 marks;so can i apply for student visa to canada for 2017 may intake…
Hello Ashraf,
If you are a Nigerian student, you do NOT need an English Language Proficiency Test/Exam score (e.g. PTE) to apply for a study permit (student visa) to Canada. Also, if you intend to meet up with May 2017 start date, you should apply for your study visa immediately, because the processing time for a study permit application from Nigeria is currently 15 weeks .i.e. 3 months, 3 weeks (Source: IRCC).
We hope that this have answered your question? If not, kindly post a follow-up question by clicking the ‘Reply’ button here.
Please is there any university or college that considers polytechnic graduates? For any of their post graduate courses
Hello Timothy,
As a Nigerian polytechnic graduate, you should be looking at pursuing a post graduate program at a Canadian college and not at a Canadian university, because most universities in Canada do NOT accept HND graduates for their post-graduate programs. Kindly follow this link https://www.plumvilleint.com/list-universities-colleges-canada-dli-directory/ to find the list of popular Colleges (and Universities) in Canada. If you need assistance with securing an admission into a Canadian college, we will be happy to assist you. (P.S: We have sent you an email).
