My query is how to handle below points in my SOP
1 - My one year gap during study and this was not a gap for preparation or waiting for admission it was due to my poor performance and i had failed in my first year.
2 - How to handle my previous visit to Canada which was a business trip fully sponsored by my previous employeer?
3 - I have 3+ years of experience in IT and i am going again for a study in same field.

hi ,

I think its better for you to apply for master degree not a certificate program . as I saw in this forum , many people visas been rejection because they choose the wrong course . for SOP / study plan , you have to explain why did you chose Canada . also why did you choose this university , and why did you choose this course . you have to show them that you have strong ties to your home country . also you need to show them that you will come back after you finish your study , like prospective job or family .

I hope that will help you
