Subject: APPLYING FOR STUDY PERMIT (Canada)
Dear Sir/Madam,
My admission application has been approved and now I wish to apply for a study permit. The ORIGINAL letter of acceptance from the institute is attached.
Please see the last page for the list of enclosures and documents, I have attached with the application.
Introduction: I am a professional Web and Graphic designer, holding an extensive work experience of more than 9 years in the graphics industry. I'm currently working as a “Graphics Lead” (Senior Web & Graphics Designer) for a Denmark based Software Company in Islamabad. (Original Letter from the employer is attached.) I also work as a freelance designer and currently have more than 25 clients and companies in my freelance profile list.
Purpose: According to the recent market trends and needs i have decided to enhance my educational qualification and make a career change in my life and strongly feel that this is the right time for me to update my professional skills from 2D graphics into 3D Motion graphics (Computer Animation) to pursue with a bright and secure future carrier. In the current market, there's a huge demand of 3D resources in Pakistan and many of the multinational IT/software companies are targeting 3D - computer animation projects and employees. (Some 3D - computer animation job advertisement printouts are also attached as reference, downloaded from the major job posting websites of Pakistan.) But due to lack of 3D resources (3D professionals), Companies are unable to find an experienced resource. So I'm sure once I'm back to my country with a 3D computer animation degree in hand, I will be valued by the employers in Pakistan.
Purpose of choosing Sheridan: I have chosen a course and now have been granted admission in (course name here) at university or college name here. One of the best reputable institute specially in the Animation industry offering, up to date animation courses with State-of-the-art learning environments featuring the latest technology all over the world, such as the Research facility, highly recognised and competent faculty hired from the biggest companies in the industry such as Nintendo, Sega, PSP, Disney etc..., as well as best hardware machines (Computers and rendering machines) in the labs for animation, also the college alumni, Comprehensive student support services, from Sheridan's friendly Student Advisement Centers to the excellent resources of the Career Centre plus exhibitions for students to show their profile/work developed during their studies and above all, a Practical hands-on learning that prepares you to ‘jump right in' to the workforce.
Other than these, Unique Leading-Edge Centre's of Excellence, These centre's include: Sheridan Elder Research Centre, Sheridan Centre for Animation and Emerging Technologies, Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies, Centre for Healthy Communities.
All these features/facilities/services impressed me and convinced me to join Sheridan. I hope i can avail all the services to my best and cash the study time in good manners.
A first payment fee of CAD $ 12,150.00 to the institute has been paid as mentioned in the invoice, through my personal Dollar ($) Account. Copy of dollar ($) bank draft (sent to the institute) is attached as a proof of evidence.
My health coverage is done through www.gaurd.me under student guard on behalf of the institute.

Funds available: According to my earnings and saving i have sufficient funds in my Allied bank (Salary) account (F-6 super market branch) (i.e.: PKR 2,160,000/-over $CAD 26,900 approximately) for my expenses in Canada. (First payment fee of CAD$12,150 and CAD$600 already paid) My recent bank statement (Both, Salary and Dollar $ account) are attached showing the available funds for the last 6 months. I have sold my car (Honda Civic, Model 2007 worth CAD$16,250 equivalents to 1.3 million PKR) to a relative on the terms and conditions of paying in 2 instalments before 1st of July 2010. Original Car sale agreement is also attached.

Note:
In order to pay my fee in dollars, i.e.: $CAD 12,150 (requirement of the institute) I had to open a new separate personal DOLLAR $ account as my salary account in (Allied bank is a Pakistani rupee (PKR) account and is not eligible to pay in dollar, according to the bank policies), so i had to open a new dollar account and deposit the payable fee amount into it from my salary account, and pay the fee from that account (dollar account). The transaction for paying the fee from my dollar account to the institute can be seen on available bank statement sheet, attached. (Both accounts are my personal accounts)
I assure you that on completion of my course, I will return back, and join the growing 3D industry of Pakistan as I also have strong ties in Pakistan (My aged Mother (picture attached), Brother (picture attached), Wife with 2 kids (Son and Daughter, Not accompanying me, Also immediate family Pictures, Birth certificates and Marriage certificate (Nikkah Nama) are attached as proof of evidence).
I really need your support and request you to encourage me and wish me good luck for my future and efforts and issue me a post dated Study permit from August 1, 2010 onwards, as I want to travel to Canada by end of August 2010.
I believe that the information I have provided is adequate and in detail, however if you have any query, please feel free to contact me on 0092 xxxxxxxxxx or email: xxxxxxxxxx
Thank you so much in advance for your kind consideration.
Yours Sincerely,
