Find the university that says yes in Canada from Nigeria.
Most people choose a university abroad on an agent's advice — but agents are paid commissions to send you to the schools that pay them, not the ones that fit you. AlmiStudy is the honest alternative: 3,197 verified universities, searchable by you. No biased middleman, no sales calls, no account required — just the facts, so you choose with confidence.
- A true directory, not a commission-paid agent
- Verified facts — checked, not guessed
- Free — no account, no sales calls
Coming from Nigeria: funded study in Canada
Self-funding Canada study is out of reach for many families, so the realistic route is a funded scholarship — and the good news is that the named ones are genuine and cost nothing to apply for.
- the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships and many university and provincial awards — free to apply, competitive.
- Most Canada universities and scholarships ask for IELTS or PTE; some waive a separate test where your degree was English-medium (MOI). Confirm the rule with each university — don't assume.
- Show that your institution is NUC-recognised (National Universities Commission) — it's the recognition Canada admissions check for Nigerian degrees.
Honest note: Real scholarships are free to apply for — if anyone charges a fee to 'secure' funding, a place or a visa, it is not a real scholarship. AlmiStudy is a directory, not a commission-paid agent — we verify each university's accreditation against its official national body and link the registry so you can check it yourself. No agent, no commission, nothing to sell you. Proof of funds is a genuine visa requirement, and visas turn on a complete, honest application — not on a 'success rate' anyone sells.
