With all this, the first step to take in applying for a school in Canada is to know what you want.

The second step is to do your research based on what you want.

Now that you know what you want use the following resources to do your research. This will answer the question:

“How can I get a school admission in Canada?”:

1. Click here to source for a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada that offers your course of interest.
2. Screen through the application process and requirements of each school.
3. Ensure you give yourself 2 weeks – 1 month to get your documents ready.
4. Use LinkedIn to reach out to the professors from your school of interest:
   Most schools would put the full names of the faculty on the website; some universities go ahead and share the emails of the faculty members.

   You can reach out to any of them if you would like to ask any questions or if you would like to work with any of them based on your topic of interest.

   To know your professor’s topic of interest, go through their Bio(s) through the university’s website or their LinkedIn pages.

   This step is not compulsory; it is just advisable. You are a masters level student; you are expected to be proactive, build quality relationships and ask questions where need be.

   From my few months of being here, I have learned that the instructors/professors are keen on helping. Ask, and it shall be given unto you.

5.  Get your documents together for application:

   For me, what was required for my admission application from my school was:
   – application fees
   – my detailed resume
   – my official transcript
   – my personal statement (2 pages, single line spacing)
   – two letters of reference (one academic, one professional).
   – IELTS to prove my understanding of the English language (I did my IELTS in 2019, it was going to expire in June 2021, everything was just divine timing for me)
   – I paid directly to my school for my transcripts to be evaluated; you can also do this with WES. Some schools require your transcript to be evaluated if your undergraduate degree was gotten outside of Canada.

   My application fee and transcript evaluation cost me $252 (CAD); the cost of shipping my transcript from my undergraduate university to Royal Roads University is not included; it would differ based on your school and country.

6.  Make sure to follow the instructions written on the admission page thoroughly.
7.  After all, has been said and done, hand your admission over to God, pray to God and believe that you shall testify.

   If it is for you, it is for you.
   Just lean on God and trust in the process.

   I say this because I remember I applied for admission in the UK in November 2020, and in January 2021, the results came out. I was not given admission to that school. I was honestly so surprised.

   I was surprised because I know I dotted all my I(s) and crossed all my T(s). In fact, prior to the application at the school, I had been given admissions to the top 3 schools in the UK based on my course of study.

   I did not go to those schools because the scholarships I was expecting did not come through, and the fees are a lot.

   I share this to say; If it is for you, it is for you, now I am in Canada, right where God wants me to be in this season.

   He closed the other doors and opened this one because He knows what he has planned for me, and all I need to do is submit.

   Like I said at the beginning, I applied to only one school in Canada, and I got the admission and all the resources I needed to come here to start my master’s education. What God can not do does not exist. Do not limit God.
