Study in Canada
Dear customer,
Many thanks for your interest in our services and Canada as a destination. We have a number of Universities and University Colleges across Canada and this destination is fast becoming a likeable one among Nigerians for these reasons:
Admissions processing is very fast and decisions can be obtained within days in most cases but scholarship application can take a little longer.
Students are allowed to work during the course, many courses allow students to take a semester out and work full time so as to gain work experience and the Government allows you to stay back in Canada for a period ranging from two to three years and thereafter residency is not as difficult. There are many work Visas that international students are qualified to apply for after their course or after the work-experience visa leading to permanent residency. Please be aware you need to have studied for a period of two years to qualify for work experience Visas.
There are a number of discounts as well as scholarships available to international students which are applied for at the same time as the admission. Most of our students do secure maximum value available due to our close relationship with the schools. Please check with us if your course and qualification qualify you for a discounted fee. For this we need to know your graduating GPA.
Canadian economy is good and although it is cold country, Nigerians have adapted quite well over the years. The people are warm and the country is sparsely populated and accommodating. We are sure you will like it.
We have assisted a lot of students in the last seventeen years and among others, students chose Glory Educational Services as their agent due to the follow reasons:
We have the experience of counselling students over and above our closest rivals and do so with transparency and utmost honesty. We put you at the top of our priority and we are one of few agencies that do not mind to sell the lower tuition to our clients passing most of the discounts allowed our agency to our students. As they say; money is not everything.
We have vivid understanding of the Visa requirements and our Visa success rates have been very high making us well loved by students. Your chances are lot higher if you process with us.
We have the spread of office so we are closer to you.
We ensure we fast-track your processing and also stay with you all the way providing valuable counselling all the way.
Our charges are low because we do not want processing fees to stand in your way as an aspiring international scholar.
We do not charge for counselling so the only time you pay us is when processing through us. You can e-mail us, phone us and attend our offices as many times as you like without a charge until you decide which country and school to attend. Thereafter you can pay processing fees.
If you decide to process through us, we charge 45,000NGN payable only to the bank, please note this does not include application fees to the school of your choice. Application fees to schools ranges from $65 to $165 only. You are free to pay it directly or we can assist when you pay us the NGN equivalent.

TUITION FEES
Universities: ranges from $7,000CAD per semester to $13,000CAD
Colleges: $5,000CAD per semester to $7,500CAD
Application Fees
Application fees to Canada ranges from $100CAD to $200CAD and must be paid at the time of application. You are free to pay by yourself or we can pay on your behalf if you give us the Naira equivalent (including transfer charges and at parallel market rates as we do not source CBN funds).
SCHOLARSHIPS
There are few discounted fees, small fee waivers, scholarships and assistantships in Canada. You can combine some but not all. Discounts are applied based on negotiation with an agent while small fee waivers can be geographic and are predominantly need based (for example a bulk $2,000CAD can be granted to Nigerians due to her categorisation as low income country while other types requires you to fill an application to show you sponsor’s income is within a threshold). Full scholarships are merit based and requires high CGPA and from reputable schools. Assistantships can be research or teaching and are also merit based. CGPA that will qualify for these later two will be in excess of 4.0 out of a 5.0 grade.
WORK STUDY
The work study program is not intended to provide you immediate tuition fees so you must have yourown fees for the first year. Most undergraduate courses requires you to have finished at least two years of study before you can take a semester to work full time and some can allow alternate semesters thereafter depending on the coop arrangement (some are just a one-off three months internship so ask to be sure). For most postgraduate courses, you can have a semester in between the first year or full three to six months after the first two semesters. During the course you are allowed part time work but this will not fund your tuition fees, it will be too small. Generally your budget must be workable and adequate and do not rely on earnings during your study to finance your tuition.
GENERALLY
If you are still interested, please contact us and we can set the ball rolling for you. It will help us if you provide your qualifications, course of interest and alternative course(s), your location and phone number.
Best Wishes
