To
The Visa Officer
The High Commission of Canada
Sub: Application in response to study permit refused on 17/03/2022 (S304735015)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I, Aakash Sharma, express my sincere gratitude to you for allowing me to present my application for a student visa. Through this application, I aim to reinstate my purpose of visit to Canada for further studies. I always had a knack for the film and media industry. Hence, I decided earlier in school to pursue a related course. However, in a hurry to reserve admission and being a little naïve, I wrongly selected a course in Journalism at SAIT College. It truly appeared as a reflection to me upon my last visa rejection. I reinvestigated and introspected my career preferences and finalized to pursue the most appropriate Diploma Program In Broadcasting- Television And Film Production at Fanshawe College. I have also received a Letter of Admission to the program for the September 2022 intake.
Hence, I present before you today via the medium of this application that is written with the sole purpose to prove my candidacy as a genuine temporary entrant and nullify the below rejection ground:
- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
I hope by the end of this application, I would be able to offer a valid justification in support of my candidacy and convince you to allow me a student permit.
Purpose of visit:
I am a passionate entertainment enthusiast willing to make a career in the entertainment media. Over time I have also speculated indigenously but I have concluded that pursuing a course in Canada will come in handy as I propel my career forward back home. It is to my career advantage to pursue higher studies abroad. I have finalized to study in Canada due to the many reasons associated with its vast study culture, multicultural assortment, advanced filming techniques, and a lot many factors as detailed below.
Why Canada?
Canada has a diverse culture and abundant resources with breathtaking landscapes which makes it a perfect destination for learning film production. The country has a history of producing young talent in the film industry for ages. Canada has a broad range of study offerings to stimulate the learning process. It is a nation that values its international student base like none other. Its exclusive inclusivity in diversity policy makes it stand out among the crowd. Moreover, it is one of the most peaceful nations in the global peace index which gives me valid reasoning to prefer Canada over any other study destination.
Why not India: After thoroughly comparing the benefits of studying in Canada with a chance to study in India, I found that Canada has unique supremacy over the Indian education system. My country of residence equips an educational structure that is more theoretically enriching while in Canada, I will get a chance to hone my practical skills. No Indian film school offers admission without a bachelor’s degree which would delay my core study plans. It is pointless for me to undergo a simple bachelor’s program when I could directly get admission to a professional filmmaking school. Furthermore, Canada seems to be the most affordable study choice which will also garner me international exposure that is certainly limited to my country of residence. With this, I will reserve a better carry opportunity back home as internationally qualified professionals are welcomed in the Indian entertainment industry due to their highly technical skills in film production.
Why Broadcasting- Television and film production at Fanshawe College?
Owing to my fascination with entertainment and media, I became highly driven to achieve career success in this domain. Hence, I began researching various courses in filmmaking in Canada when I finally came across the availability of a Diploma program in Broadcasting- Television and film production at Fanshawe College. After already having researched and compared many different courses, I could sense this one perfectly matching my study objectives. The course at Fanshawe College includes subjects such as TV Production & Applied Theory, Editing & Graphics for TV & Film, Production Management & Writing for Media, Commercial/Corporate Video Production, and Film Criticism which interests me the most. This program will not only polish my filmmaking skills but will also hone my skills in directing and editing.
Furthermore, studying at a culturally advanced Fanshawe College will put me in a multitude of the diverse student population that will help me enhance my personality. The cross-cultural dialogue exchange will broaden my perspective of viewing film production as an integral part of entertainment media. Due to Fanshawe College’s highly acclaimed image among international colleges, I am determined to pursue higher studies here than anywhere else.
