Content of a good SOP (Episode 1)

On this SOP matter, we will keep writing tips until many of you get it so that the stress will be reduced.

In this series, I will be explaining in details the content of a good SOP.
1. It should tell us your inclinations i.e the things that appeal to you naturally or as a result of some problems you want to solve in your environment.

Why did you study your undergraduate course? Is it as a result of the things you observed were not right and you want to
correct? Are there emerging technologies in your field that you feel like exploring?

Truth is that many of us do not have compelling reasons to study our courses because of our environment. Many were 'given' the course because of issues beyond their capacity.
Very few are privileged to enjoy the course they studied. So, it's easy for them to draft something good.

For many who wants to explore other fields or do not even know how to get started, you can do the following:

i. Read about your course online, not what you are told in
class (we all know most of those things are expired😃)

ii. Ask yourself questions about the current issues in that field.

iii. Is there a specific problem in your field that has not been solved yet? Do you think that you can add to the existing knowledge in the field?
As you think about this, start jotting them down in your words. Do not worry about the arrangement for now.

Do this in a week and see what you would have jotted.

Join me in another episode.

If you have questions on this, kindly ask and my guys:

1. First, list the courses in your undergrad and experiences in your undergrad.
that is related to the course you want to study. Which course specifically stands out for you that made you want to further explore? write it down.
If you want a master's in a new field, begin to write down why you want this new field. Do you have background experiences in this new field, If no, begin to search for online courses or internship related to this course

Summary of Canadian Immigration steps via Express Entry and the Total Amount Involved.

All of you that I post scholarship opportunities.

However, for the sake of those asking about Express entry. Let me post what I learnt from these two links:



Canadian Immigration Steps.

1. Evaluate your certificate using agencies like WES, IQAS, ICAS etc. Start on time because it can take 1-2 yrs.

2.Prepare for IELTS general exam.

3. TEF or TCF exam (French version IELTS).
4. Use 1-3 to create express entry profile and then enter the express entry pool. You will get a score that the Canadian Govt works with.

5. Check your eligibility. If you are 40 and above, express entry may not be favourable except you have PhD and can speak French
