Dear visa officer,

I hereby apply for a student visa to enable me travel and study in Nova Scotia community college, Canada. I intend to further my studies in diploma in Information Technology. The education system in Canada assures one of quality education giving it a good reputation. The country is also very safe and offers a very welcoming and multicultural environment. Besides, students who have studied in Canada are very successful in terms of finding jobs or setting up personal businesses back here in Kenya. After my studies, I plan to come back to my homeland and get a job in top-level companies or even join the family business. I also plan to start my business with time. This chance will go a long way in helping me improve my professional life.

In recent years, Kenya has integrated its operations with information technology. This has enabled its economy to be among the best in the sub-Saharan Africa. However, in terms of advanced training in this field, Kenya still has a long way to go. There are education institutions, but their curriculum is not very thorough. For this reason, am choosing to study in Canada where the curriculum already has a reputation worldwide. I have closely analysed different curriculums offered by local institutions here in Kenya. I have also done many consultations with experts in Information and Technology about the curriculum (Shaffer, 2000). In addition, I have visited top-level companies and enquired about what they require in an Ideal Information Technology specialist. After comparing this with the local curriculum, I feel that the local curriculum does not meet the standard.

Information technology is gaining a lot of popularity in the business environment here in Kenya. With the high standard curriculum in Canada, I will be better placed in terms of advancement. In the 21st century, Kenya is in the face of infinite opportunities and challenges; definitely, information technology is significant in the future development of the society (Davenport & Short, 2003). Apparently, I will come back to my country after finishing my studies for different reasons. First, the curriculum back in my country needs to be upgraded. I hope to liaise with the ministry of education in uplifting the curriculum to a higher standard. Not everyone will get a chance to study abroad, so there is need to upgrade our curriculum to help other students gain the education and skills in information technology. This will go a long way in developing our society. Again, my parents are still alive though old now. It is my duty to look after them in their old age, and I want to be near them.

I have been out of full-time studies for two years now. Through this time, I have been working with different companies as information technology assistant. First, I worked with MBMS Technologies as an intern for six months. Here I was introduced to system development. I assisted in developing systems for various local clients including government ministries. After there, Allied Technique Inc employed me on a full-time basis where I helped in developing applications for different customers (Davenport & Short, 2003). While working here, I felt that there is more to information technology than I had learnt. I then gained the urge to further my studies and after vigorous research over the internet, I identified Nova Scotia community college as the place to be. Should I bring in higher experience in information technology in our country and devote myself to the development of Kenya, I suppose, it will be of vast value and significance in my lifetime.

I hereby submit my application entirely confident that you will grant me the visa. Thank you very much for considering my application.
