Applying for Study Permit: Is a letter of explanation required?

[jb401269]

Hello,

I'm a US Citizen who has been accepted and filling out the document checklist to apply for a study permit visa.

My question is:

Is a letter of explanation required?

It's under "optional" and I was wondering if I could get a bit more information on this.

Thank you!

It is not required if it is not in listed documents you need to upload. However, I would include one just to sell yourself as someone who is a genuine student who will return to USA.

Are there any examples or templates for a letter? What information would I include / what would I need to say?

Thanks for your help

•What is your overall educational goal?
•Why are you not pursuing a similar program in your country of residence/citizenship?
•What research have you done into studies in your country of residence/citizenship?
•How will this program enhance your employment opportunities in your country of residence/citizenship?
•What ties do you have to your country of residence/citizenship?
•In the case of a minor applicant, what are your reasons for studying in Canada? What is your parents'/guardians' immigration status in their current country of residence?
•Provide details of your education history – dates when the course started and ended, the name and address of the school, the course taken, qualification/degree/certificate awarded for the course

Hope it helps

It is not required one. My application is same as yours. I just attached a letter of explanation. I expressed that I want to build up a new career and achieve my academic goal.
