Canada admission processes

Select a course of your choice: The first thing to have in mind when planning to study abroad is the course of study. You have to choose the course to study to put in an application. If you don’t have any course in mind you have nothing to worry about because we can guide you through the process of course selection.
Pick a school you will like to study at: After selecting a course the next step will be to choose the school to study at. This choice of school will be guided by the course you selected in the previous step, your budget, and in some cases your results.
Read and understand their requirements and deadlines: This is very important because some schools close intake very early and you wouldn’t want to miss it. Most of the highly ranked schools close their intake very early mostly 10 months before the beginning of the school semester.
Prepare for the English proficiency test: As stated earlier when you are travelling to an English-speaking country from Nigeria you need to write an English proficiency test.
Prepare the required document: Put together the documents that are required for you to present. Find the list as stated above.
Register for any required exams: Some schools require you to write certain exams. For example SAT, some schools require you seat for SAT as a condition for getting admission.
Put in the application: After the previous step, it’s now time to submit your application.
Schedule a Visa appointment: For you to obtain a visa to Canada you need to go through an interview at the embassy. The outcome of the interview will put the final nail in the coffin, it will determine whether you will get the visa or not.

Canada visa

The process for the Canadian visa application is similar to that of the US, but the minimum time for a Canadian visa to be ready is 4 months. With proper documentation, the visa would be successful. You will also have to interview to decide the application’s outcome. The Canadian embassy is a bit strict, I’m not saying this to scare you but to give you a heads-up so you can prepare for it. Generally, you have nothing to worry about because, with expert guidance, proper documentation, and preparation success will be guaranteed.
