That is also a good idea..
For general information on SOP ...
Please for those writing sops, you need your sop to be in bullet form with each talking about a certain aspect... no1 should start with your introduction/background...you full name, date of birth, where you are from, name of your family...where they are from....i see sops with no introductions, no format...just go straight to I am dis, I did this here, I have certificate in this, bla bla bla...thats why vo use vague cos it's vague. No 2, talk about why you are doing so so course...this is where you try to align your previous degree with wat your intended course, pick some courses in your final year or 3rd year to align with it. Also here is where u talk about your experience, what you have been doing after your degree that pushed u to wanna do so so course. This is where u need to be very very very CONVINCING. Spend more time here than any other place... No3 and 4, should talk about why canada and why so so school... Google can do that for u... No5 should be titled Travel history.. here even if u have not left your country before since you were born..you just tell the vo, you haven't been opportune to travel outside of your country before but I have had the chance to travel to (name all the states you have gone to), which gave me the opportunity to experience different cultures and traditions, visit different places. Each time I travelled, I always respected and obeyed the laws, rules and regulations of the state/country and always returned home because there's no place like home (Nigeria/state). No 6, the home ties... here pls try to list all the full names of your family and their respective date of birth starting from your dad wat he does, to the last person in the family where all of you are from again. This saves the vo time to start checking for their birth certificates... Finally, Your plans after studies, this is where you need to actually show you have a plan or something that you tend to offer to your home country wen you return (new ideas to improve the economy or employment for people, it can be anything so long it's realistic and possible). This aspect actually helps you to avoid purpose of visit in a way.... If you noticed I didn't include anything concerning how much I have in my account or my sponors cos I believe as long as I submitted a bank statement the vo should look at it there...this avoids the vo focusing so much on how much I am making or have... Others might have done something different (sops) and got their approvals, but am just trying to give a clear view of what is all about.
