STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

INTRODUCTION & ACEDEMIC BACKROUND
Myself XYZ, I completed my 10+2 in science stream in the year 2009 from Himachal School Education Board with 71%. After that I joined a Bachelor’s Degree of Technology in Civil Engineering. My decision to apply for a Civil Engineering Degree after 10+2 is driven by my aspirations as I am very interested in construction field since my school time as I used to go with my father at the construction sites and my father encouraged me a lot to choose this field. It was a day of achievement for me as I accomplished the call of the almighty to become a Civil Engineer like my father. I have completed my Bachelors of Technology degree from Lovely Professional University, a premier institution in north India with a good percentage of above 70%. Now I have taken admission in Construction Project Management in Conestoga College and this field interests me because of its huge demand in construction industries. It was during my academics where I learned a variety of interesting subjects through which I got to know the concept of comprehensive technical techniques involved in construction and civil engineering field. The hunger for knowledge led me to constantly strive hard in order to graduate with a first class at first attempt. As my interest was more in technical terms involved in management of construction projects, as compared to other subjects, so in third last year of my Civil Engineering Degree, I joined special elective course of project management. I also took three months Field training during my study. During the training, I got influenced by the positive decisions of the construction manager that should be taken during the civil engineering projects which has remarkable impact on the profits as well as project completion deadlines which forced me a lot to choose Construction Project Management.
WHY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT
In my intermediate studies, I have benefited from the breadth of Lovely Professional University’s syllabi content that has given me a comprehensive exposure to the core areas of management of construction projects with the technical knowledge of Civil Engineering techniques and the strong conceptual understanding of the same. On the other hand my father who is also a Civil Engineer motivated me to adopt this course as this course will benefit me in two ways one is, I can start my own construction company in my own country and another is that I can directly work as a construction manager in any construction company as there is a huge scope of construction projects in India without taking years of experience as a civil engineer. During my four years of civil engineering study, I have strived to maintain an approach of expanding independent effort in my entire endeavor. As Construction Management encompasses the management of different kind of construction projects like bridges, high rise buildings, Dams, Roads, tunnels etc. I came to a conclusion that career as a construction Manager can be very rewarding as there is a huge scope of construction projects weather I will work in a construction company or start my own construction company.
WHY YXY COLLEGE
I have come to learn that the XYZ College is one of largest, most diversified and highly respected colleges in Canada and it is also in the first 50 research colleges of Canada. I have also done research on other colleges like Sheridan College, Humber College, Seneca College and Fleming College but I only found Project Management Program and in XYZ, I found Construction Project Management course which is fully related to my previous studies Civil Engineering. The facilities offered by the College will help me gain experience be it social, recreational or my personal development. This program brings together participants from all over the world, so I would be in contact with diverse cultures and I would also develop an international network. It would be very rewarding to share and exchange thoughts and ideas with a group of people who are from different nationalities, cultural orientations and schools of thought on one platform.
Another factor making the Construction Project Management program from XYZ like no other is its length and time span of 12 Months. Mostly people like me who have had an experience in the job world want to upgrade their skills in a specific specialization, which is available as short term Certificate courses. My motive is not to get job after that but to gain valuable skills in my profession which will help me to move in the higher levels. Besides, once in the workforce, I really can't afford to be jobless for years and so doing a short term diploma seems a much viable choice. After being a part of Conestoga College I am sure, I would grow into an enterprising and an outstanding graduate.
WHY CANADA
I short-listed two colleges, one in Canada and other in Australia. After consulting with my peers and seniors and checking course contents thoroughly, I am convinced that Canada is a better option as it has developed a first-rate education system with high standards and global recognition. Canadian culture is more diverse and vibrant. It is considered peaceful, safe and orderly country. Being a country of immigrants from all over the World, different perspectives are respected and learning together is encouraged. The best advantage of Canada is the Tuition fees and living expenses which are also in favor when compared to other countries with equally good education system.
My father is working as a Civil Engineer in Jalandhar. He earns Rs 6,00,000 annually from his job and he is a regular Income Tax payer. We also have other source of income from our rented shops and commercial vehicles which is around Rs3,00,000 annually. Our family’s annual income is Rs.9,00,000 and they have adequate financial resources and are very happy to support me. I am very grateful to my family for supporting me in my further studies at Canada. With this enthusiasm and vigor towards construction field related academia, I humbly request the visa officer to grant me visa to enable me to join the course well in time.
