Applying for a Canadian study permit? A clear and well-written letter of explanation can greatly improve your application.
As an international student, you need to show immigration officials that you genuinely intend to study in Canada and have the financial means to support yourself during your stay.
Your letter of explanation is your opportunity to strengthen your application. Here are the key points to include:
Introduction
State your purpose clearly. Introduce yourself, the program you plan to study, and the Canadian institution you’ve chosen. Provide a brief overview of your relevant background.
Academic and Career Goals
Discuss your academic and career goals. Explain why you have chosen to study in Canada and at the selected college. Describe why you selected this specific program and how it aligns with your goals.
Future Goals and Plans
Outline your plans after completing the program. Discuss how a Canadian education will help you achieve your goals back home.
Funding Your Studies
You must show that you can support yourself and any family members who come with you while in Canada without needing to work. This includes providing documents that show you have sufficient funds to cover your entire study period, including tuition, living expenses, transportation to and from Canada, and other fees.
Provide a clear explanation of your financial plan. Outline the sources of your funds and their value in Canadian dollars.
Passage Financial Coverage: Describe why you chose Passage, detailing the amounts and terms related to tuition and living costs, if applicable. Provide your “Passage Pass” and this additional file as proof.
Other Financial Resources: Explain the assets you have available to pay for other costs not covered by Passage. These can include both liquid and illiquid assets. Examples of liquid assets are bank statements and income from a rental house in your home country. Examples of illiquid assets include property and investments.
You need to provide proof of any financial support you mention. You can provide a detailed explanation of your financial plan in a separate letter and use that letter as a cover for all financial proofs you submit.
Conclusion
End your letter on a positive note, reiterating your commitment to complying with all immigration laws and regulations during your stay in Canada. Thank the visa officer for considering your application and express your excitement about the opportunity.
