●CV
Do not include overly personal information like your marriage status, nationality and date of birth as they are not relevant.

Use the Canadian CV format which comes of easy to the eyes.

Highlight relevant work experiences which are significant to your application.

●Transcript

A lot of Canadian universities assess the last 2 years of your undergraduate degree grades.
So, if you had high grades during these years, your entrance average will be higher.
and this gives you a great chance.

Please note that applications with a high entrance average are considered first

● Statement of Intent
You should consider this as a job application cover letter.
•Establish how your intended study program

relates to you as an individual and your personal strenghts would be of advantage in the study program.
Also, note how the study program will facilitate your career goals.

If you are applying for a program that is a different field from the work experience you possess,

your SOI is where you should explicate on the transition.
Make sure to use:

•proper grammar
•proper punctuation
•proper paragraphs

●References
For academic referees,
do not shoot yourself in the foot by using random persons or friends; representing them as your lecturers. The admission commitee will always do a check. And if
you are guilty of this, it renders your application as an embodiment of LIES.

•Do not use academic references who you arn't sure of their perception about you.

•Use only references who can vouch for your ability to do academic work.
•Use their work emails and not their personal mails.
