computer science etc.)
Respected Sir/Madam,
I would like to have this opportunity to introduce myself as a tech enthusiastic person whose life
is basically all about computers and programming. Ever since my father bought me a computer,
there were hardly some days in which I would not be on my computer learning something new,
doing something interesting.
Slowly and gradually, the hobby became a passion and I made myself determinant about making
a career in Computer Science. This passion and love for computers led me to pursue Bachelors
of Engineering in Information Technology from Gujarat Technological University.
(Note: this heading will be different in your statement of purpose format. For example, mba,
nursing, graduate program etc.)
With the innately worldwide nature of today’s computer programming industry, it is vital for me
to contemplate in a universal domain far from my home country, and doing as such in one of the
reputed university in Canada will absolutely give me a novel advantage in my career pursuits.
Having had the privilege to learn practical aspects of multiple programming languages and
subjects such Data and File Structure, Operating System, Database Management Systems, Object
Oriented Programming With C++, Software Engineering, Computer Graphics, Web Technology
and Programming, Advanced Java Technology etcetera in my under graduation, I am confident
of adding to the paradigm diversity of the applied computing world by joining the University of
Windsor for my post-graduation.
The Master of Applied Computing offered at the University of Windsor will surely substantiate
me with the right acquaintance, dexterity, and practice to accomplish my professionalism.
Advanced Computing Concepts, Network and Data Security and Advanced Systems
Programming are among the few courses, which I wish to pursue there.
Working out with the highly experienced and skilled faculties along with the prominent facilities
being provided will surely back me in my academic pursuit.
My profile is having all the pre-requisites for the admission and I have secured my admission
there. I have secured 7.07 CGPA in my under-graduation and scored overall 7.0 bands in my
IELTS test.
Extra-Curricular:
In addition to the courses that I have taken in my under-graduation, I have been exceptionally
active outside of the classroom, participating in extracurricular activities and working on
personal projects in order to inspire myself and broaden my perspectives. For instance, I have
developed Personal Time Management Application, a project, despite the fact that being non-
academic, at last, gave me an opportunity to learn and implement latest technologies for personal
use.
I have developed a graphics based game which was solely focused on increasing typing
efficiency of users. Moreover, I successfully delivered a presentation to my juniors teaching
them PHP Programming and Importance of Programming. All of my past endeavors makes me
feel highly motivated and energetic at adopting new attitudes and encountering new things. This
is definitely why I have chosen to keep improving myself by considering for a graduate degree in
the University of Windsor, Canada.
Canada was the first and final choice for me when I was in a phase to choose a country for my
post-graduation because of some straightforward reasons. The education system of Canada is
brilliant in all sorts of ways and ranked as best among the whole world. In addition to that,
Canada is a safe and peaceful nation with superb health care facilities.
All Canadian institutes provide a dynamic, innovative and challenging environment in which one
can create and nurture their true potential. Canadian qualification will surely be a strong base for
boosting my career and building my future.
Every year, talented students from all over the globe do come Canada to study so that they can
make their dream come true. Studying with them will surely expose me to their cultures and
ethics, as well as improvise my communication skills.
Now comes how you should end your SOP part which is really important as this will be the last
thing that will be sticking in visa officer’s mind before he proceeds with next steps. You need to
make sure it’s appealing in your own SOP.
Future Goals
After completion of my masters in Canada I intend to come back to my home country with the
outstanding skillset and join the IT industry, which continues to thrive in India, as a computer
engineer.
In past decade, the world has shown tremendous growth in IT sector and there is and will be a
huge demand for IT professionals in near future. So, I would like to come back as a high skilled
techno-functional computer engineer and join some reputed organization to make a bright career.
Hence, after completing my course I am confident that I will easily get a suitable job in leading
IT organizations in India. At the end, my only goal is to be a successful and dynamic
professional in near future which can make me stand out among all. Also, I have paid 11,360
CAD in my tuition fees and 10,035 CAD in Scotia Bank’s Student GIC Program to cover my
first year living expenses.
Dear Sir/Madam, I hope that you will find all my documents in proper order and I kindly request
you to process my visa application as soon as possible. I am very much thankful to you for
giving me your valuable time to process my student visa application.
Sincerely,
Unnitkumar Metaliya
