How do you achieve this? We are going to discuss all the strategies you need to write the best SOP letter for Canada Student Visa. Let’s get straight into it.

What is an SOP?

SOP means “statement of purpose”. This means only mentioning the valid and credible reasons for your student visa application in the country where you are applying.

Countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom request that you attach a Statement of Purpose (SOP) to your file. Canada in particular is at the top of the list because they are interested in finding out the motive behind your visa application.

Canada is becoming a favorite of new international students as a growing number of students seek to immigrate to Canada through study paths. Although your grade and overall profile are important determinants of your admission to Canadian universities, in some universities you will need to write a Statement of Purpose (SOP) for admission purposes. Unlike other countries, you may need to write an SOP for your application and an SOP for a visa at Canadian universities. Also, for other Canadian visas, there is no visa interview so the SOP is very important to convince the visa officer.

What are the requirements for a perfect SOP?

The SOP for a Canadian university is more personal than the SOP letter for a Canadian student visa. Although each university’s approach to SOP varies, there are several aspects that all Canadian universities examine in an applicant’s SOP letter:

• Purposeful introduction
• Validate what you are saying
• Educational background
• Work experience ( for those who are currently working).
• Why Canada?
• Why specific schools?
• Why not in your home country?
• For future career after a Canadian degree
• Clarify your gap
• An explanation for your fund
• Personal assets and a home tie
• Any other travel history or degree
• With or without spouse/kids
• Closing
