If you've been looking for Scholarships in Canada for Masters/PhD then these are the 15 schools you should be focusing on.

Just stumbled on the robust article & resources by the U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities (Link of article at end of thread)

Come with me.
So apparently, the U15 schools:

- Conduct $8.5B worth of research yearly.
- Hold 81% of Canadian university patents.
- Account for 70% of full-time doctoral students in Canada.
- Hold 85% of Canadian university technology licences and many more!

This is interesting.
For Scholarships:

-Decide where you want to study
-Check and research requirements
-Have a checklist of documentation
-Write a good personal letter
-Get other documents ready
-Check info on cost of living/other costs
-Spice it up with faith, optimism, positivity and

I love the U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities website because it doesn't only break down the universities and their funding capabilities but also indicates their research strengths.

That way, based on your background and field you can know what schools to target.
Please see the U15 Website here: u15.ca

Click on each of the University name/logo and it will open a new page with break down of that University.

You can also navigate the website to read about publications, U15 international partners, impact stories, etc.
If you are looking for a step by step guide on how to apply for your Study Visa, I broke that down here:

Once you successfully land in Canada, this will be helpful:


All the best, and I am rooting for you!

This morning, I officially became a Canadian Citizen after taking the ‘Oath of Citizenship’. 🇨🇦

It’s been 6yrs 7months since I embarked on the bravest journey of my life to come study here (many know this story). Today, I am glad that journey was worth it.
I still remember that cold winter breeze that blew my face when I stepped out of Pearson as a broke student.

The days of working factory jobs to pay for certification and complete tuition.

The days of numerous internship applications and job interviews.

I remember them all.
I am thankful to this country for the numerous opportunities it has provided since day one.

I am mostly glad that I can now vote and be voted for. I can now add to its political landscape.

Congratulations to those whose PR to Canada has been approved and will be arriving soon or have just recently arrived.

When you eventually land, here are Top Job Sites and resources to help you.

Short Thread.
1. You should start here with the “Welcome To Canada (what you should know” detailed document put together by IRCC.

This document covers things such as:

-what you should do before and after you arrive
-brief overview
-housing, healthcare, finance etc.

canada.ca/content/dam/ir…
2. Indeed.ca

The number 1 job site in Canada. With Indeed, you need to create a profile and be strategic about your search by indicating your areas of interests.

Try to update your profile every 3 months as recruiters filter by most recent profiles.

Canada Migration and taking the IELTS Test.

Short Thread.
Like I always say, not everyone should, have to, or need to go to Canada. But if you want and have to, then act fast, take the necessary steps and do it the legal way.

P.S: The more you wait, the more points you lose if you are going the express entry pathway.
So if you are planning to, it’s a good move and just like every worthwhile endeavor, there are some processes and requirements (IELTS inclusive) that you need to plan for.

Want to include a ‘Cover Letter’ on that job application but don’t know how to start?

Here's a step-by-step guide of how to complete a cover letter. Also, what it should and shouldn't entail.

Thread.
A cover letter should be a single page letter that you include with your job application. Thing is, you can always include one, unless the job ad clearly states not to.

Always remember to keep it short because it should be a summary and not your autobiography.
1. Follow The Rules of Formal Business Letters:

Your cover letter should include:

-Your Name
-Your Phone Number
-Your Email Address
-The date of the letter
-The name of the hiring manager and their title (if you know it)
-The name of the company you are applying to as well

Congratulations to students whose study visas to Canada have been approved & will be starting school this fall (September).

When you eventually land in Canada, some things to note:

- As a student, you are allowed to work 20 hours per week.
- If you don't drive, check bus schedule before going out.
- Aside from the busy cities like Toronto etc., buses run every 30 mins on weekdays & every 1hr on weekends.
- Before buying textbooks, check with Lecturers if okay with you borrowing from Library rather than owning.
- If you can't afford the school residence, you can rent very close to the school.
- It is cheaper to cook than to eat out.
- Sobeys is a high-end grocery store for students. Try others.
- Connect with students from the prior year for course tips.
- Ask questions a lot in class.
