There is no page limit in making your Statement of Purpose. But you should consider making it as concise and comprehensive as possible. Ideally, that should probably take 2 pages. I did mine in two pages, but haven't got the result of my Study Visa application yet.

2 pages is too much it's should be one page VO don't have time to read all try to limit it to one page and it should contain everything thing you want to say!!

Is it possible to add some documents or images at the end of the letter of explanation?

Mine were 6 pages. Everyone asked me to shorten it. But I am 37, I have led an interesting life, worked at amazing places and travelled around the globe. And I wanted VO to know all about it.
So, 6 papes of SOP and 7 pages of annexure with experience, passport stamps and educational letters etc... 13 pages in total.

Exactly. That is a proof that every SOP is unique and VO will read it regardless how many pages. When i applied, I did not attach SOP but attached Curriculum vitae that detailing my work and academic experience.

Agreed @Catmom and @Simba112 , I had 3 pages last time - explaining all the nits, grits n bits and I got 3 pages this time - explaining what I honestly liked about canadian education and why i decided to continue, what new skills n job opportunities this course will bring etc etc. Last one was approved - despite having worked in 3 years of unrelated (to my education) employment & i hope this one will be approved soon. With SOP, I must say - one's gotta smell the roses!

And it was 1500 words last time, 1600 words this time!

Yeah. It's their job is read each and every page of SOP. When and where had you applied from?
