前面已经讲述了我的加拿大学签和携签经验,下面分享一下我的Study Plan,由于我是硕士学历,再申请加拿大硕士,所以会让签证官费解,下面看看我是如何阐述的,有同样情况的学生可以参考一下。
Study Plan
My name is xxxx. I am a Senior Application Engineer at AAA Corporation, the world leader in the PPP industry. My responsibility at AAA is providing technical support for our customers in the Asia Pacific region. I have been working here for over 6 years. I like this job because I have a great passion for the PPP technology and I can often get the sense of achievement when I help my customers fix their technical issues. I am so interested in this job that I even thought I would dedicate myself to it in my whole career. However, there was one thing that once confused me and made me believe this job was not my ideal career. The thing was that my title of Senior Application Engineer kept unchanged in the past three years and I have never got an opportunity to be promoted during such a long period, although my manager ED, Director of BBB Department, always regarded me as a hard-worker.
I talked with ED about this in my 2010 mid-year performance review. His explanations made me clear about the reason. According to him, due to my limited theoretical knowledge in the VVV area, I could no more dig deeper into the PPP technology and figure out original technical ideas. This led to a bottleneck which I could not break through to achieve further success.
I had to say his comments made sense. I did not major in VVV when I pursued my Bachelor’s degree at TTT University or my Master’s degree at JJJ University. Instead, my major at universities was Control Theory and Control Engineering. That caused me not to have many chances to learn the basic VVV theories when I was a student. And indeed, for some critical technical points in my work, I noticed the lack of some general knowledge in the VVV area made it impossible for me to think deeper. So I could no longer gain any achievements.
The barrier was really there.
After several months’ careful evaluation I decided to quit my job and apply to go back to the academia to compensate this limitation in my background. I told ED this decision. He agreed with my idea and was willing to be a referee for my application. Several months later, I submitted my application materials to the Master of Engineering program at the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department at the University of Toronto (U of T). I chose to apply for the ECE Department at the U of T based on two factors. Firstly, the ECE Department at the U of T provides graduate programs with higher quality than any Chinese university does in terms of courses, project experience and practical opportunities. The second one, which is more attractive to me, is that the ECE Department at the U of T has close connection to AAA. Some professors at the Department once worked or are even working now at AAA. This is a main reason why the Department conducts the top-notch research in the VVV/PPP area.
Fortunately, I received the admission letter from the ECE Department on May 7th. According to the program introductions, I will take nine courses during the Master of Engineering study. I regard this as a perfect opportunity for me because through selecting nine appropriate courses, I can not only compensate the limitation of my theoretical background, but also get knowledge of the cutting-edge VVV technology.
I told this news to ED and received warm congratulations from him. He even promised that he would reemploy me as long as I got the Master degree with good course performance.
I will try my best to meet ED's requirements on my study and then come back to BBB Department after receiving the degree. I am convinced I will gain a higher-level position then.
