Irrespective of the constraints, writing IELTS/TOEFL to prove your English proficiency allows you to apply to scholarships all over the world and not selected few. If you don’t have this test, you realize that you’ll have to sift through lots of program to find
waivers which is stressful already. There are also positions that you stumble upon when surfing the internet but “sigh” when you see english test requirements. For example, these tests helps you in getting TAship in USA. Furthermore, countries like Canada require IELTS for
NSE fast-track student visa application route. Likewise Ireland requires it for student visa app. If you are really serious about applications, save up and write these tests. They’ll make your life easier.
It’s you who’s looking for a scholarship, therefore be ready to make concessions. Cheers!!

Notable Red Flags between your SOP and Reference letters

1) The experiences you claim in your SOP are not reflecting or mentioned in some way within your Reference letter

2) Mismatch of the key details between what you claim in your SOP and what your referee states e.g.
CGPA, class ranking, number of publications, and the timeline of events (if required).

3) Making claims of your research/work experience under a Prof. or a research institute without having such a professor or a representative of that institute on your list of referees.
There is an exception to this, especially If you've been working in an organization and the program requests only academic references.

4) Mismatch between the name of the program being applied to. E.g. You're applying for a program in the US and Hongkong and your referee makes

Msc position at Université Laval, Canada-Utilization of Bryophytes for the restoration of Mining sites. Start date from now or Summer 2021. $15kpa for 2 years + $1.5k top up
Bryophytes play a critical role in the biogeochemical cycles and productivity of ecosystems, particularly in northern ecosystems. However, they are largely ignored in restoration work on disturbed sites in the boreal environment. This project aims to overcome this lack and
develop methods to integrate bryophytes into resilient ecological restoration. More specifically, the bryophytes associated with vascular species of interest for the ecological restoration of mining sites will be identified, as well as the characteristics of their immediate

Msc position at Université Laval, Canada- Peatland restoration in the context of a cranberry plantation. Start date: May 2021. Send in your applications if qualified.
In recent decades, cranberry cultivation has exploded in Quebec, to the point where the province has become the second largest producer of this small fruit in the world. The crops are established on peat with sand amendment or directly on sand. In Quebec, more than 60% of crops
are on sand, while the rest is in peatland. Peatlands represent the main type of wetland disturbed by cranberry cultivation followed, to a lesser extent, by swamps. An ecological restoration method, that of musk mat transfer, has been shown to be effective in restoring plant

Msc position in Plant Biology at Université Laval, Canada. Closure of the abandoned logging roads to improve habitat of Caribou. Autumn 2021 or Winter 2022 start.
The woodland caribou herd in Parc des Grands-Jardins has only a few dozen individuals left. The presence of forest roads favors the movement of predators and creates pressure on the species. Despite
the absence of forest harvest since the creation of the Parc des Grands-
Jardins in 1981, a few hundred kilometers of paths still present, 40 years later, an absence or insufficient tree regeneration. The goal of this project is to evaluate various methods in order to initiate the closure of the forest cover in the abandoned roads at Parc des Grands
