Chandigarh in June 2021.
 During that time India was suffering from unendurable COVID 19 pandemic and lockdown
restrictions.
 Due to the pandemic implications, I was inhibited to switch for my post graduate education. So,
eventually in October 2021, when the things went cushy and favorable, to linguistic proficiency, I had
appeared in IELTS exam and secured overall score of 7 (R-8.0, L-7.0, S-6.5, W-6.0), it also delayed

methodologies that will advance my expertise and revamp my human resources managerial skills to
prepare and deliver high - yielding projects with ease. My research about the institution has also planted a
great trust in the teachers who nurture international students with great care. Moreover, the institution
speaks of the diverse opportunities in human resources management roles , which is why I am
eagerly waiting to probe this exciting opportunity , which is a stepping stone for my future achievements .

ALGOMA UNIVERSITY is one of the leading institutions in Canada with highly qualified spirited
faculty . After a complete research , I found that the human resources management program at Algoma is
bundled with subjects such as proposal and tender writing , strategy and plan making , time and activity
management and much more . They are likely to satisfy my needs . I can study the management element

Why I have chosen Canada?

Canada as a study destination offers me an excellent opportunity to fulfil my deep - rooted childhood
dream and aspirations of becoming a professional and better individual and the answer to the question '
why a program from Canada only ' . As Canada is way ahead of any other nation in technology ,
manufacture and sales and provides the best infrastructure to international students . Just to be aware of
all these related issues and to gain a prolific knowledge , I opted for this major course as my career
development objective . As a nation , Canada represents and celebrates true democratic values and
systems . Its unity in diversity is an excellent paradigm of true federalism and one can aspire to reach
even the sky . The Canadian high academic standards and rigorous quality control means that one will not
only be earning a high quality education but also open doors for a bright future and enhancement of career
opportunity over the long term .

Going by the facts, I can say that India is a highly populated country. Although India has numerous
premier institutions offering quality education but the level of competition is really high. Moreover the
country has strict reservation policies which make it even more difficult to get into them.

While compared to India, Canada provides for high-class and impartial educational facilities across the
world. Furthermore, the international students are being provided with utmost safety and care which
makes the country best option to study and live in.

The Internationally recognized education from Canada will bestow me a competitive advantage.
Financial Plan and Sponsorship

The entire array of expenses to be potentially incurred in Canada on studies and incidentals like traveling,
staying, etc. shall be borne by my parents. They are financially well-off and have sufficient funds at
exposure to defray all costs. I have already paid tuition fees for the complete course amounting to $21,514
and have arranged for the living cost by securing GIC of $10,050 during my study duration.

Future Roadmap

Post-completion of the Human Resources Management program at the Algoma University, I will
putinto action the following measures:

 I will go back to India for good. I have been raised in a family that believes that we should utilize our
skills for the benefit of our country. Motivated by this thought-process, my parents installed in me a
solid value system that has guided me towards going abroad for higher studies. As a result, I am
indebted for giving me the resources to fulfill my study aspirations.
 On completing this advanced program in human resource management from the Algoma University, I
will return to my homeland and tap the lucrative opportunities at leading MNCS. Companies in the IT
and manufacturing sector, such as IBM, Cognizant, TCS, Tata Motors, and Accenture are on the
lookout for accomplished professionals to fulfill their HR requirements.
 As a skilled and certified professional, I would get an edge over my peers.
 Recruiters in India as well as in other countries significantly value degrees that HR professionals
obtain from the Canada. Therefore , this program at your esteemed university will streamline my
career. I have been a fervent learner all these years.
 Currently, I am looking for an industry - oriented program , that can streamline my professional
profile . India is a highly labour - oriented country when it comes to the workforce. Therefore, I would
like to face the challenges that lie ahead of me in nurturing this talent and making the best for my
organization. I will try to establish myself as an accomplished HR professional immediately. In the
long run, I look forward to walk in the shoes of a successful HR manager. An opportunity to study at
your revered university will significantly help me realize my professional goals. I humbly request you
to give me an opportunity to imbibe the skills, spearheading my career.
 The depth of knowledge and experience will make me able to earn more, influence more, and
influence the development and structure of the human resources department. Human resource
managers can work for a wide range of different organizations which will have plenty of interesting
options to choose from once I graduate.
 I believe that a degree or any certificate course from reputed university would enhance my
professional skill to effectively secure a job in one of the big multinational company. My education
costs will be borne by my parents. I am confident that education from Algoma University, Canada
will instill a sense of holistic understanding in me which will prove essential in my future endeavors.
 This particular program will be of use for me in my future as I would be able to comprehend what is
needed to maintain healthy liaisons with clients and manpower. I can acquire knowledge about the
challenges of managing the human resources in organizations of different sizes and how these
problems can be solved. Such wide - ranging professional knowledge is vital for a successful human
resource manager. I will apply what I will learn to planning a more comprehensive HR program to
solve problems and enable a company's continued growth and expansion. As I enjoy working with
people and helping them reach their ultimate career goals, graduate certificate in business
management and human resources according to me is a wise decision. India is the sixth largest
economy in the world, growing steadily and attracting multinational companies from around the
globe.
 To summarize, in the short haul, I want to carve a niche for myself in the Indian industry-sector, and I
believe an education abroad can help me accomplish that goal. I aspire to secure qualitative practical
and technical hands-on exposure in Canada as it plays host to myriad mainstream management
institutions which leverage cutting-edge strategies for service delivery. In the long run, I want to see
myself in the position of HR professional of an acclaimed organization with global footprints.

study in Canada.

Thanking you,

 I need to specialize in this field not only to have a deeper knowledge of the subject are abut also to learn
different practical ways and the expertise required to handle manpower in any company
.
What role an HR manager should play in the recruitment, training, and orientation of the employees, and
how he can build the required team spirit and the feeling of loyalty in them so that they work in a
company for a long period of time.
I need to have in-depth knowledge in both theoretical and practical aspects for which the structure of this
particular course seems custom-made for me.

I got an opportunity to learn about all the applicable principles, reasons, methodologies, incentives,
problems that I had seen in my father's company.

My undergraduate studies taught me how human resources needs to be dealt with in different size of
companies; what are the problems faced by both ends; how the organization needs to behave with
them and they need to behave with management; what kind of approaches actually work in making the
workforce loyal to the company. But there are still many unanswered questions and I need to master
the practical skills not just with respect to one company or one nation but in different size organizations
and mufti-cultured people.This made me realize that I need to learn a lot in the field and after
researching about it on the internet and through my friends and mentors I decided that the best course
of action would be to go for a specialized course in the subject area.

This brought me to your institution as the course offered to meet all my requirements. I would like to gain
in-depth knowledge and would also like to translate it in developing a more comprehensive HR
program so that I can help not only my father's company but in general the industry focusing the
human resources for their company's growth and development where the employees are also getting
equal benefits and an opportunity to work as per their potential.

projects during my graduation , I got the opportunity to streamline my leadership skills . My foresight into
my profession helped me realize the value of working on my organizational and leadership skills early
on . So , I spent time imbibing these traits , and here I stand today , willing to master the advanced skills
in human resource management to embrace a happening career in my homeland , India .
 After scrutinizing the program modules that Newcastle University has been offering , I realized that this
course would suit my requirements perfectly .
On completing the program , I will gain a strong understanding on the importance of social and ethical
issues on human resource management .
Also , this course will train me up to deploy my knowledge and skills to resolve global problems related to
human resource management in practical ways .
The curriculum is interactive and includes activities like group exercises , role - play , and case studies .
Besides , I wish to capitalize on the opportunity to acquire advanced skills from globally famed
researchers as well as practitioners .
Moreover , the program requires the aspirants to work on an HR resource project independently .
This practical way of learning will help me master the desired skills to perfection .

Considering this holistic approach to educating the aspirants , I have decided to pursue the program at this
university .

Ever since I was a school student, I used to dream of having my own company. The thought of running
a business used to excite me a lot. As my intellect matured, I realised that there are so many facets in
the business world. In course of my graduation, I got to delve deeper into various aspects of this
particular field and it made me more vehement to secure a career in the same. It was during my
internship that I found my calling in the human resources domain. The brief professional insight that I
received from that experience motivated me to embrace a relevant profession. I believe that I have
good management qualities, leadership and people skills to lead a team as a whole or even an
organisation, someday. In today’s world, it is extremely important to stay abreast of the evolving
industry trends and keep upgrading one’s skillset. I am keen to expand my knowledge and
understanding regarding business management and human resources management, so as to establish
a strong footing in my career. By pursuing the MBA in HR program from ABC University in Canada, I
would be able to achieve my ambition, while honing advanced skills and a global perceptive about the
field.
For me, my parents have been the main sources of my inspiration. In order to give me and my younger
brother good education and living, they strived hard continually. They always encouraged us to follow
our aspirations and chase our career dreams with a focused approach. I desire to give back to my
parents for all that they have done, establishing myself as a successful professional and making them
proud. All these years, this thought drove me to excel in whatever I do. I have been consistent in being
a proficient student throughout my school and college and obtain good grades. I completed SSC and
HSC from Christ School, aggregating 87% and 88.5%, respectively. My love for the business field led
me to take up B.Com. from Patel College of Commerce and Economics. I showed utmost sincerity and
enthusiasm towards my academic duties, by deriving maximum knowledge about the main subjects.
I actively took part in several co-curricular activities to leverage my overall personality. By
participating in various cultural fests and dance competitions in college, I got to develop my
interpersonal and communication skills. Occasional wins boosted my confidence level, and I
channelized my efforts in strengthening my practical skills. I had also got the opportunity to don the
role of an organiser and volunteer for several academic and cultural events, which enabled me to
utilise my management abilities. As a part of our curriculum, I went on to do my internship at
Horizons Pvt. Ltd. where I got to work as an HR trainee for 3-months. During my tenure here, I
received hands-on knowledge in several aspects of human resources management. I have been eager
to familiarise myself with various responsibilities handled by an HR and acquire relevant skills
pertaining to recruitment drives, corporate induction, screening applications of job aspirants,
managing payrolls and employee records and so on.
I had a very enriching experience through my internship. It instigated me to gather more knowhow
about HR field. Rather than taking the professional plunge, I chose to go for higher studies after
completing my graduation. I thought it would be ideal if I can have a sound erudition about my field of
interest, human resources management. I started looking for a course that will help me regain a
better acumen about my chosen arena as well as business administration. My online research led me
outside my Indian shores.

Eventually, I came across the MBA program in HR, offered at ABC University in Canada. This advanced
program, I believe, would be apt for my academic requirement. Having a global learning exposure will
leverage my profile significantly when I tap my opportunities in India. It will be beneficial for me, as it
will make me more independent. Therefore, I am seeking quality education, coming out of my comfort
zone.

Although, initially I had considered UK and US, I chose to go with Canada for many reasons. Canada is
hailed as a safe and the most secured educational destination by many. Many top-ranking global
universities are located here. I would have a holistic learning experience by mingling with like-minded
people, coming from diverse cultures and different countries. On the other hand, the education fees
and living expense in Canada seem to be relatively more affordable than other countries. However,
the quality of education in Canada is top-notch, the same asin the US and the UK. The MBA in HR
program at ABC University falls in line with my subject interests and covers important core topics that
I am keen to learn in-depth about. I was quite impressed to read several positive reviews about the
university, which hailed its academic excellence and advanced teaching methods. The university also
has well-qualified professors and for extending strong career guidance to students.
On completing the course, I will come down to India and look for job opportunities here. There are is a
good demand for HR professionals who are backed with an international MBA degree. Thus, I believe
that the proposed program will be beneficial for me in attracting rewarding employment
opportunities in reputed firms. I am sure that the program will effectively prepare me to take up a
challenging role in the HR field, complementing my long-term career aspirations.

For consistent growth of a company, it is one of the necessary aspects; managing the workforce.
Recruiting the right talent at the right time is one such crucial thing that could greatly affect the
performance of a company; efficient and skilled candidates can help the company withstand
challenging times and perform better. So, HR professionals can be considered the key assets of an
organization as they hire and trained the employees for an organization and help it to build a sound
foundation for consistent growth. And hence, it can be expected that pursuing a postgraduate
academic credential in the field of HR management can be a step forward toward a high-opportunity
career path.

The decision of getting my further education in abroad was based upon the fact that to be practically
and competently skilled in the respective field of study, international institutions offer better
environments; students are made to learn the latest trends and techniques according to modern
industrial settings and mostly, offered to learn via learning by doing approach.

Canadian institutions have a reputation for delivering world-class study options in a broad range of
fields. In terms of the costs of studying, Canadian institutions have a competitive edge over other
reputed institutions in US, UK or Australia etc. Unlike, other countries, a range of study options are
available in the field of human resource management in Canada to study according to one's interest
i.e. Canadian institutions are offering master's degree courses (2 years long) to diploma or graduate
certificate credentials (1-2 years long) in human resource management. Being one of the safest places
in the world to live, Canada is one of the most favorable destinations for international students.
Alongside all these factors, students can take advantage of post-study work permit program to gain
considerable professional working experience in the field of study with a Canadian employer.
Looking through the long list of course providers in the field of human resource management, I felt
that the Graduate Certificate course in Human Resource Management at George Brown College would
be the best option for me in Canada; being one of the leading research colleges in Canada, it is
ensured that George Brown College is among the best in Canada for pursuing higher studies. Courses
offered are designed to impart knowledge and skills that are well in line with modern industry trends
and research; students are made to learn modern industry-relevant material during the course at
George Brown College and are transformed into career-ready professionals Employers prefer to hire
graduates from George Brown College; it has near about 90% of employer satisfaction rates. Taking
about the Graduate Certificate course in Human Resource Management at George Brown College, it
will help to gain skills in HR planning, HR policies, and program designing, employee training and
development, recruitment processes, organizational performance management, and management of
labor relations etc. these are considered the core working areas while working in the field of human
resource management. Also, a Co-op or internship opportunity would be offered for a whole semester
during the course to get enough practical experience and understand the challenges associated with
real-world workplace environments.
Finding employment in India with an international academic credential is not a big bar; candidates
with abroad degrees or academic credentials have great demand among Indian employers. In India,
getting employed with these employers would be my utmost priority: Tata Motors, Reliance
Industries Limited, Accenture, KMPG India, Hero group etc. In general, an HR professional (HR Analyst,
Recruiter, HR Executive) can draw a starting salary in the range of INR 40,000 to 55,000 with an Indian
MNCs. So, getting Graduate Certificate in Human Resource Management program from George Brown
College would be a great help to me in starting a promising professional journey.
In the end, it is my request to you, issue me a Canada study permit and offer me an opportunity to
pursue my further studies at George Brown College (Canada).
