Dear Visa Officer:
My name is ***, Currently, I am a graduate student, majoring in *** at ***. I am very fortunate to have been selected as a recipient of *** Scholarship and admitted into the *** Program at University of ***. I am truly looking forward to pursuing my Ph.D. study in Canada in the next four years.
One of the most important issues in crop agriculture is the economic and environmental cost of using large quantities of nitrogen fertilizer. And higher production with lower nitrogen input or so-called higher nitrogen use efficiency is one of substantial goals of modern agriculture. Therefore, it is of far reaching importance that we perform the basic research on molecular and cellular mechanisms of higher nitrogen use efficiency in crop species, in which I keep the keen interest and to which I decided to devote myself. Therefore, I have been working on maize (Zea mays. L.) nitrogen use efficiency and low nitrogen stress during the three years of master graduate study.
My research project was “***”, which was a collaborative work with ***, my future supervisor in the University of ***, who has visited *** for academic exchange and cooperation. *** has worked on *** for several years and published plenty of achievements in internationally influential journals. Through three years collaboration, I know that the research level of ***’s team is prominent and they accumulated a wealth of research experience on ***. Moreover, it is well-known that University of *** is one of Canada's most research-intensive universities, with profound research record, outstanding teaching quality and award winning student services. It was ranked as the fourth best comprehensive university in Canada and especially have a high reputation for its agriculture related disciplines and researches. Therefore, I decided to apply for the *** Program in University of *** and chose *** to be my supervisor.
After I arrive at ***, on one hand, I will definitely
