1) Write it like an essay in multiple paras. Do not make it ‘Question and Answer’
type.

2) Try not to Exceed one page. However, you can exceed one page if you MUST.

3) Keep it short and simple. Do not make it confusing or hard to comprehend for the
VO.

4) Do not FLATTER.

5) Never degrade your own country.

6) State firmly and reasonably why you have to come back after your studies.

7) Explain why Bangladesh is not the BEST place and Canada is a Better place for
you to study. (Do not flatter and do no demean BD, humbly explain our drawbacks).

8) Mention your country ties explicitly.

9) Explain your educational goal briefly.

10) Font: Times New Roman/Calibri, Size: 12, Margin: Standard.

11) Be careful about grammar!!

How to approach some of the most common questions:

1. Why do you wish to study in Canada in the program for which you have been
accepted?

This is where you will explain why you chose that program, why Canada and why that
specific dept. in that specific university. Mention some highlights of your dept.
and university.
2. What is your overall educational goal?

Write your future plan here, what you want to do after getting that degree. It may
be you want to get another even higher degree, or get into a job etc etc.

3. Why are you not pursuing a similar program in your country of residence or of
citizenship?

Humbly explain our drawbacks and lack of research facilities especially in the
fields of science and technology. Explain the advantages of having a North American
degree and how it would be of more value than a domestic degree and help you stand
out in the job market.

4. How will this program enhance your employment opportunities in your country of
residence or of citizenship?

Explain the job prospects here in your related field of study and also having the
added benefit of a North American degree.

5. What ties do you have to your country of residence or of citizenship?

Mention literally everything that will make you come back here from fixed
assets/properties to your friends, family and relatives. Explain how you are
emotionally bonded to this country.

6. If it has been more than two years since you have left full-time education,
please provide your C.V.

Study gap will be a major issue if you do not give proper explanation of what were
you doing in your breaks. Studying of IELTS for two years NOT a good answer. If you
are already enrolled in any university, mention it clearly and honestly. NEVER lie
on visa application. Attach your detailed CV. Provide details of your education
history – dates when the course started and ended, the name and address of the
school, the course taken, qualification, degree or certificate awarded for the
course.

7. In the case of a minor applicant, what are your reasons for wishing to study in
Canada? What is your parents or guardians immigration status in their current
country of residence?

Explain this.

Here’s some samples of study plan. As we said before, COPY-PASTE and plagiarism
(using others work as yours) will NOT be taken favorably by the visa officers.

Question 1: Why do you wish to study in Canada in the program which you have been
accepted?

Answer: I have been accepted for the M.Engg in Industrial Engineering program at
University of Windsor. After completing my bachelor degree in Electrical and
Electronic Engineering, I was planning to do a Master program in Industrial
Engineering. I decided to pursue this program in Canada because among English
speaking countries Canada is one of the most suitable countries for higher studies
particularly for this subject .Most of the new researches and developments took
place in Canada in the field of Industrial Engineering. Their course outline is
updated. Moreover, degree from a Canadian University is highly appreciated by the
entire world. I prefer, if someone wants to learn anything perfectly, that person
should learn it from the place where learning facilities are good. Canada is one of
the most student friendly countries. Specially, In Canada International students
get lots of supports from Canadian government while studying in Canada. Based on
all these reasons I have determined to study this subject in Canada.

Question 2: What is your overall educational goal?

Answer: Different people have different educational goals. Some study only for
achieving a degree, some study only for getting a secure a good job. I was very
much passionate about Engineering from my earlier days, for that reason I started
engineering study. Now, I am undertaking this M.Engg. Program because I like to
continue my further study to become a professional. To be a professional in a
field, one must have to study in that field in detail. This one I would like to do.
To know more about field of Industrial Engineering, I have decided to do masters in
that field of study. I also plan to get a Ph.D in the same field.

Question 3: Why are you not pursuing a similar program in your country of
citizenship?

Answer: I have already mentioned earlier that Canada is one of the pioneer
countries in the development of Industrial field. However, my country of
citizenship is very far from that. Moreover, similar courses are available only in
few public universities for every limited numbers of students. That is why it is
very hard to secure admission in those universities in my country. Besides, this
course requires real life practical field work with the help of modern and up to
date technological equipment’s. Without these facilities it’s totally impossible to
learn this program. To be a professional in the field of industrial engineering, I
do not want to lack in any field of this course. So, I decided to start my program
in a Canadian University.

Question 4: How will this program enhance your employment opportunities in your
country of citizenship?
Answer: Industrial Engineering is a unique program whose applications are used
vastly in the field of Industrial development. Bangladesh is now developing quite
fast in the industrial section. Without industrial development a nation cannot go
forward. In my country, industrialization has just started. Lots of Industry have
started their production and some of are going to start. These industries are run
by government & private sector. Due to the growth of industrialization, my country
needs more Industrial Engineer with up to date industrial knowledge. Program
diversity is one of the major advantages of my program which most of the industries
are looking for as requirements. Through this program, one can be able to achieve
knowledge of Manufacturing System Simulation, Production and Inventory Control
Systems, Advanced Engineering economy, Sustainable Manufacturing and so forth which
are highly recommended for an Industrial Engineer. So, by completing this program,
I can enhance my academic background and place myself in a secure job.

Question 5: What ties do you have to your country of citizenship?

Answer: In my country of citizenship I have strong family and friendship ties. All
my family members live in this country. I am the only one child of my parents.
That’s why every family member of my family loves me so much. In my family, we are
only three members they are my father, my mother and I. My father and mother have
become aged and they would require my care and support in the upcoming future. This
is one of the most important reasons why I would like to return to my country as
soon as possible after completing my graduation. Besides that there are some fixed
assets of my parents those also need to be taken care of. I have many personal
emotional ties with my country because I was born here and I spent all these years
here. So I have lots of memories here which I cannot ignore no matter what happens.
So, I wish to return to Bangladesh after completing my program.

Study Plan
Since childhood, my family has given me full freedom to choose my own goal. I had a
great
interest in electronics & technology. My teachers used to share exciting and latest
discoveries
related to tech and their use of electronics in everyday life. I conceived that a
comprehensive
understanding of electronics & technology is the only way to develop the future of
a country.
So, after completing HSC from Govt. Devendra College I researched for a subject
that would
best suit me & I found EET as a dream come true subject for me. As a result, I have
chosen
Electronics Engineering Technology.
I have done my Intermediate in Science from Govt. Devendra College. Science has
given me the
opportunity to know the broad range of idea about technology, Communication and
Electronic
sectors. I found my interest in EET and focused on the subjects related to this.
Therefore, I’ve
decided to build my career in this sector & after completing EET my goal will be to
build my
nation as an advanced user of technology.
Bangladesh is walking on the patch to be a developed country & we are one of the
fastest
developing country in the world after India but, still USA/Canada/UK is way ahead
in technology
& electronics. Therefore, it would be a great opportunity to learn how they are
perusing
technology & engineering ideas to keep their level at top so that, I can implement
those in
Bangladesh to make it a batter place to live. EET is also available in many
Universities in
Bangladesh but those Universities are not as good & practical as Canada is. So, I
thought it
would be a great idea to peruse EET in Canada than Bangladesh.
Electronic Engineering & Technology got a huge impact on a country & becoming an
advanced
user of EET will be the greatest thing ever to enhance my job opportunities,
business
opportunities in Bangladesh as a result my career will shine though my knowledge.
There are
many grate jobs available in Bangladesh regarding EET & becoming expert on EET will
give me
huge advantage to get the job easily or to get into any business related to my
subject. As I will
have practical ideas about EET companies will prefer me as their employee at the
first glance
of my CV.
Talking about my family, here in Bangladesh I have my father working as a
Government
employee in Somaj Seba Office, Manikganj & his designation is an Accountant, my
mother is
housewife & my brother is just 9 & reading in class 4 in Govt. Primary School
Manikganj. Else
that my one Uncle & Two Aunts are living in our village (Ghior). My two maternal
Uncle one
maternal Aunt is also from the same village & they are still living there. Though
recently my
elder Aunts younger son went to China for further study but he is now on a vacation
so, now he
is in Bangladesh & enjoying some good moment with family. Things to be noted, from
my birth I
am living in Manikganj very close to Ghior as a result, I have very few friends in
Ghior but in
Manikganj I have so many friends & some of them are trying to go to abroad for
better study,
Two of them went to China & Germany others got their admissions in various
Universities in
Bangladesh.
I am the elder son of my family & got all the responsibilities from my birth. My
Father is a
Disable person & from his hard work he managed to come up from poverty to a good
healthy
life but still, he need a strong support from me to keep up his work. Even after so
many barriers
my father’s goal is to start an NGO named (Disable Peoples Welfare Society) after
his job to
help disable persons. My younger brother is now getting big & he born with a very
soft, golden
mind to support his dad. And my mother is doing her best to support my father & my
whole
family. And taking about me, I do YouTube/Website Developing/ (Photography &
Filmmaking
locally) & such things.
