Statement of interest/purpose is the lifeline of your chances of getting an approve study

visa abroad. It is the summation of all the documents you have submitted along with
your application, it narrates your career goals, beliefs, subject knowledge, and your
vision. It is an opportunity to pitch your purpose to the visa officer reviewing your
application and reasons why they should give you an approval over other applicants. A
good SOP works great for weak academic profiles and gaps in work or education where
in you can compensate by highlighting your future goals and ambitions. A well-written
SOP also reflects how well you can express your thoughts using your writing skills.

Don’t just reuse the same statement and recycle the same information on-line as
plagiarism is commonly suspected for, they have software of detecting it, but make sure
you tweak it for every use. Your statement will sound stale and the officer will notice if
you don't do this. The visa officer doesn’t know you personally, the documents and
credentials speak for your visa approval accompanied by a strong emotion and interest –
in your SOP as to why he will favor and accept your application to Canada!!!
