I have been consistent student in my education till date. I did my Matriculation in 2011
under Central Board of Secondary education and my Senior Secondary with 76%
(commerce stream) under Punjab School Education Board. Further I completed my
bachelor of Commerce in 2016 with first division from Punjabi University Patiala.

 After my bachelor degree, I started preparing for IELTS and in 2017 and 2018, I
submitted my application for Canada student visa for January, May and
September 2018 but my applications got declined.
 After that when I was again thinking of my application submission, unfortunately
in May 2019, I lost my Mother. That was the traumatic time, when I my elder
brother and father were shattered due to that loss.
 So I thought to give time to my family, after my mother so I postponed my plans
for further studies and joined Sunrise Power Technologies as Accountant in
October 2018.
 Till date I am working in the same organization at the same designation.

My sole purpose of visit to Canada is to gain further studies at international level. My
objective of studying in Canada is to equip myself with advanced academic qualification
and practical knowledge in the field of Business Management. I am a genuine student
and have clear intentions to return to India after completion of my studies in Canada.

cultures first-hand. Canada is a bilingual country, which makes studying in Canada an
2
excellent opportunity to develop my communication skills and boost my prospects for
an interesting career.

Changes in circumstances in my current application –

As I have been working since 2018 so in my current application, I have professional
exposure of the relevant sector.

Why Business Management –

As I am working as Accountant since October 2018, so I find my career stagnated in
clerical scope only. To take the big leap to managerial level where I can work with more
autonomy and authority, I need to have a management degree under my belt. I believe
that I must complete my advanced managerial program from a renowned international
institution which is globally acclaimed for highest standards of teaching and offers
qualitative exposure to best practices in businesses management. Canada College is
ideally suited for my needs.

Being from the commerce background and also keeping in mind my ultimate interest
and also the career opportunities, I have opted to ally in business related course which
will be an additional advantage for me because I have gained commerce related skills in
my previous education and now my intended course will be a stepping stone in my
profile. I have chosen my intended course after my own in-depth research. Also I have
always been fascinated with economic developments took place in this recent decade.

From my intended course, I will gain skills like-

 A sound knowledge of general business management.
 Specialized instruction in the key functions of business management.
 Practical, business-ready skills in written communications, analysis and
interpersonal communications. 3
 These skills will assist me to get higher level management positions in small to
medium businesses.

On the top of all, 420 hours of Co-op, shall be an added advantage for me, which is an
integral part of my course curriculum.

Future Roadmap
Talking about my future plans, after the completion of my studies, I will come back to
my homeland and start my professional career. India being the 5th largest economy
has no shortage of jobs for rightful candidates. In addition to this, due to the rising
demand for skilled professionals in India This Program will equip me with essential
skill-sets to pursue my career at managerial position in different segments like in
finance, marketing, sales, digital marketing and majorly get the following job
opportunities in India like:-

Personal Finance Consultant: A Personal Finance Consultant advising clients on taxes,

retirement planning, investments, and insurance decisions, depending on their
financial goals.

finance accounts, maintaining spreadsheets, credit control, verifying calculations,

industry trends and economic factors such as inflation, unemployment rates, etc. I
researched and learned that salaries for accounts managers are competitive,
according to https://www.glassdoor.co.in and , www.payscale.com the national
average entry- level accounting manager salary starts from $39,680 CAD. To
summarize, in the short haul, I want to say that an International degree will make me
