My Academic Background

 After completing my matriculation in 2016 from CBSE affiliated school with 10 CGPA, I went on to
complete my Intermediate in Humanities in 2018 with 82.6 % (Marks). After this, I graduated with
Bachelor of Arts with 1st Division from Post Graduate Govt. College, affiliated to Punjab University,
Chandigarh in June 2021.
 During that time India was suffering from unendurable COVID 19 pandemic and lockdown
restrictions.
 Due to the pandemic implications, I was inhibited to switch for my post graduate education. So,
eventually in October 2021, when the things went cushy and favorable, to linguistic proficiency, I had
appeared in IELTS exam and secured overall score of 7 (R-8.0, L-7.0, S-6.5, W-6.0), it also delayed
as frequent dates were not available.
 In March 2022, I embark upon my plan to go for Canadian higher education as anticipated and
Forthwith I applied study visa application at Seneca College for Social Sector Management program
for Sep’2022 fall intake in Canada. After 3 months of time consideration, on June 8th 2022, I got
refusal for my study visa application on the ground as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of IRPR.

Why I have chosen Canada?

Canada as a study destination offers me an excellent opportunity to fulfil my deep - rooted childhood
dream and aspirations of becoming a professional and better individual and the answer to the question '
why a program from Canada only ' . As Canada is way ahead of any other nation in technology ,
manufacture and sales and provides the best infrastructure to international students . Just to be aware of
all these related issues and to gain a prolific knowledge , I opted for this major course as my career
development objective . As a nation , Canada represents and celebrates true democratic values and
systems . Its unity in diversity is an excellent paradigm of true federalism and one can aspire to reach
even the sky . The Canadian high academic standards and rigorous quality control means that one will not
only be earning a high quality education but also open doors for a bright future and enhancement of career
opportunity over the long term .

Going by the facts, I can say that India is a highly populated country. Although India has numerous
premier institutions offering quality education but the level of competition is really high. Moreover the
country has strict reservation policies which make it even more difficult to get into them.

While compared to India, Canada provides for high-class and impartial educational facilities across the
world. Furthermore, the international students are being provided with utmost safety and care which
makes the country best option to study and live in.

The Internationally recognized education from Canada will bestow me a competitive advantage.
Financial Plan and Sponsorship

The entire array of expenses to be potentially incurred in Canada on studies and incidentals like traveling,
staying, etc. shall be borne by my parents. They are financially well-off and have sufficient funds at
exposure to defray all costs. I have already paid tuition fees for the complete course amounting to $21,514
and have arranged for the living cost by securing GIC of $10,050 during my study duration.

Future Roadmap

Post-completion of the Human Resources Management program at the Algoma University, I will
putinto action the following measures:

 I will go back to India for good. I have been raised in a family that believes that we should utilize our
skills for the benefit of our country. Motivated by this thought-process, my parents installed in me a
solid value system that has guided me towards going abroad for higher studies. As a result, I am
indebted for giving me the resources to fulfill my study aspirations.
 On completing this advanced program in human resource management from the Algoma University, I
will return to my homeland and tap the lucrative opportunities at leading MNCS. Companies in the IT
and manufacturing sector, such as IBM, Cognizant, TCS, Tata Motors, and Accenture are on the
lookout for accomplished professionals to fulfill their HR requirements.
 As a skilled and certified professional, I would get an edge over my peers.
 Recruiters in India as well as in other countries significantly value degrees that HR professionals
obtain from the Canada. Therefore , this program at your esteemed university will streamline my
career. I have been a fervent learner all these years.
 Currently, I am looking for an industry - oriented program , that can streamline my professional
profile . India is a highly labour - oriented country when it comes to the workforce. Therefore, I would
like to face the challenges that lie ahead of me in nurturing this talent and making the best for my
organization. I will try to establish myself as an accomplished HR professional immediately. In the
long run, I look forward to walk in the shoes of a successful HR manager. An opportunity to study at
your revered university will significantly help me realize my professional goals. I humbly request you
to give me an opportunity to imbibe the skills, spearheading my career.
 The depth of knowledge and experience will make me able to earn more, influence more, and
influence the development and structure of the human resources department. Human resource
managers can work for a wide range of different organizations which will have plenty of interesting
options to choose from once I graduate.
 I believe that a degree or any certificate course from reputed university would enhance my
professional skill to effectively secure a job in one of the big multinational company. My education
costs will be borne by my parents. I am confident that education from Algoma University, Canada
will instill a sense of holistic understanding in me which will prove essential in my future endeavors.
 This particular program will be of use for me in my future as I would be able to comprehend what is
needed to maintain healthy liaisons with clients and manpower. I can acquire knowledge about the
challenges of managing the human resources in organizations of different sizes and how these
problems can be solved. Such wide - ranging professional knowledge is vital for a successful human
resource manager. I will apply what I will learn to planning a more comprehensive HR program to
solve problems and enable a company's continued growth and expansion. As I enjoy working with
people and helping them reach their ultimate career goals, graduate certificate in business
management and human resources according to me is a wise decision. India is the sixth largest
economy in the world, growing steadily and attracting multinational companies from around the
globe.
 To summarize, in the short haul, I want to carve a niche for myself in the Indian industry-sector, and I
believe an education abroad can help me accomplish that goal. I aspire to secure qualitative practical
and technical hands-on exposure in Canada as it plays host to myriad mainstream management
institutions which leverage cutting-edge strategies for service delivery. In the long run, I want to see
myself in the position of HR professional of an acclaimed organization with global footprints.

study in Canada.
