Mam/Sir
My name is Ms Gagandeep Kaur, an Indian citizen by birth. I am writing this letter in support of my acceptance into the Business Management Graduate Certificate program at Georgian College, seeking your consideration for my student study visa. My chosen course commences on January 09, 2023, and the duration is two years, thereby ending on August 16, 2024. The program aligns perfectly with my knowledge and education goals, ensuring brilliant career opportunities for me in India.
Education
I completed my secondary education from Sant Ishar Singh Public School, Chhahar, in May 2019 and obtained 72% and higher senior secondary education from the same institution in July 2021. During the last two years of my schooling, I performed consistently well in academics as well as in extra-curricular activities. In addition to this, I improved both my oral and written skills through the assignments and project work.
I am attaching my proof of educational accreditations with this letter for your kind review.
Why pursue the Business Management Graduate Certificate program?
While doing my research, I identified that the Management Graduate Certificate program offered at the Georgian College, Canada, is tailor-made for me. The course curriculum of the program consists of all the advanced disciplines and modules that can aid me to gain right knowledge, skills, and experience to acquire the employment opportunities in the retail industry in India. The practical orientation of an all-round course of study will enable me to not only gain a clear understanding of the numerous disciplines of business management but also the essential skills to implement it at my workplace.
I am self-assured that my exposure to such experiences will magnify my knowledge base and add a large value in enabling me to fulfil my vocational goals. In addition to this, I am curious to develop an advanced knowledge of some of the core business and management concepts like Planning, Finance Management, Entrepreneurship, and HR Management. I want to accomplish this goal by acquiring a slot in the Management Graduate Certificate program at Georgian College, Canada.
Why study in Canada?
My foremost reason to visit Canada is to pursue my higher education. Doing so will also significantly improve my language skills and grant me exposure to an international network, which would further be an advantage in my career pursuits. Moreover, a few top universities in India that offer a progressive course are challenging to get admission into, due to unreasonable applicant to available seat ratio.
It is only after hours of research that I have chosen Canada to commence my higher studies. The country holds an unmatchable reputation in imparting quality education, which drives me to complete my post-secondary from Canada.
Why study at Georgian College?
It is only after conscientious research that I have chosen Georgian College, owing to the institution’s renowned excellence in enabling liberal education. In addition to the expert faculty, I will meet and interact with other international students and know their aspirations. The institution also conducts seminars and guest lectures. These are an opportunity for me to engage in discussions with industry professionals and practitioners and get insight into core project management concepts.
The program that I have chosen to pursue offers a unique opportunity to hone my language communication skills along with gaining a specialist understanding of Business Management fundamentals. The Graduate certificate in Business Management at the Georgian College is offered in collaboration with ILAC, Toronto. This unique offering will undoubtedly aid in developing a sharp business acumen with effective communication skills.
Language Ability
I took the IELTS exam and scored an overall 7.5 bands, which implicitly met the criteria as per college’s guidelines and indicated that I would not have any issues on the linguistic front during my short stay in Canada. I would also like to highlight a fact that during my entire schooling, I communicated in the English language with my teachers and fellow students. Through my participation in various inter-school competitions, I further developed good collaboration and communication skills.
Financial Eligibility
I am forever grateful to my parents for supporting me to pursue higher education from outside my homeland. To affirm my admission status, I have already paid my first-year course fee of XXXXX CAD and also have a sufficient amount of XXXX CAD in my bank account that will comfortably suffice my living expenses while my stay at the foreign campus. For the validation of my claim and financial preparedness, I am attaching the following documents with this letter for your kind review:
• Acceptance letter from Georgian College
• A copy of my Valid Indian Passport
• Deposit Slip of my GIC Card (XXXXX CAD)
• Receipt of the first-semester fee paid at Georgian College (____CAD)
Future Goals
India’s online retail industry is expected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 15.8% by 2030 and this will also bring in digital consumption across all sectors of the industry. Retail giants such as Amazon, Flipkart, and Reliance are leading this sector with almost an equal market share. I have thus concluded that the retail sector has enormous potential for career and skill exploration. After completing the Business Management Graduate Certificate program from your esteemed institution, I will come back to my home country and exploit the opportunities at various reputed companies. My goal is gain substantial exposure in executive profiles like customer service representative, merchandiser, store manager, and more. After gaining considerable experience in the entry-level profiles, I will then seek opportunities in senior level and leadership positions in the same industry.
Consideration
I look forward to becoming a part of the brilliant student community and contributing to my earnest capacity at the Georgian College. I thank you for reviewing my VISA application for the Business Management Graduate Certificate program and hope to have effectively reflected my suitability and zeal to study in Canada.
Sincerely,
