出國大學留學申請

大使館簽證並非一勞永逸

有家長認為，孩子到加拿大留學，只需到加拿大使館答應就可以獲得前往加拿大的永遠通行證了，其實不然，彭興遠教授表示，學生在獲得加拿大學習機會同時，還應在加拿大入境時憑着簽證與入學通知書等方可獲得入加拿大進修的機會。不管是加拿大簽證，還是學習的時間，都是有一定的時間的而非一勞永逸。當然，一般學生在加拿大學習的時間規定為兩年左右，一旦簽證即將到期，需提前三個月進行補辦。當然，是否補辦成功，還要看留學生在加拿大的表現是否令人滿意。

短期簽證無法轉為學生簽證

很多前來諮詢留學事宜的家長們為了省錢，往往會問他，是否可以辦理短期的訪問簽證，然後再轉換為學生簽證?其實，針對這樣的問題，是不可以的，一般六個月以上的長期留學申請，可以獲得短期的留住，但是，如果用短期的簽證來換取長期的學生簽證是不可以的。家長既然想要孩子到國外留學，就不要投機取巧，畢竟，留學是人生大事，每一步都要踏實的'走，一旦走錯，孩子的心理會留下陰影。

加拿大留學與其它國家不同

很多家長在為孩子辦理留學事宜時，由於在其它國家受阻，所以，缺失了留學的信心，其實並非如此，因為每一個國家都有它自己的規定，比如，美國的留學申請與加拿大有所不同，留學美國與留學加拿大有所不同，很多留學美國申請拒籤後，轉向加拿大卻非常順利。所以，沒有必要把精力浪費在因為其它國家拒籤，所以，就不敢再去申請另一個國家上。一個國家有一個國家的規定，簽證並非一成不變的，當然，也會存在在其它國家拒籤後，辦理加拿大簽證也會拒籤的現象，但是，這並不是絕對的。

簽證與金錢無關

很多家長認為，自己不差錢，送孩子去加拿大留學也只是錢能擺平的事情。因此，根本沒把去加拿大留學當成一種正式的事情來看待。其實，這種想法是錯誤的，儘管辦理簽證需要錢，但是，並不意味着錢能擺平簽證。要知道，其中各個環節非常細緻，每一個需求都要達到滿意才能獲得稚的成功。如果盲目的認為只要有錢就能解決簽證事宜，這種觀點是非常錯誤的。如果家庭條件好，但是，學生本人的成績不理想，表現出現極端或中途斷學時間過長等，想要獲得加拿大簽證的機會是非常低的。相反，如果家庭條件一般，但是，成績優異，那麼辦理簽證就非常容易。也就是説，簽證與家庭條件以及金錢沒有直接關係。

作為家長，要正確看待孩子的留學問題，不能片面的考慮留學事宜。要從多方面做好準備，由其是孩子在辦理簽證過程中所涉及的每一個環節，家長都要認真對待。

Dear XX,

Sport has always been a massive part of my life ever since I startedplaying football at the age of seven. I have played at many different levelsranging from school football to playing for my league select and representing myregion. Football is my main interest, besides the fact I enjoy other sports suchas Badminton, basketball, volleyball and many more. I have had experience inthese sports having participated in many during physical education at school, asubject which has played a big part in my school career. The things I enjoyabout sport are that it needs a lot of dedication and hard work to besuccessful, as well as sport being very demanding and challenging. As a resultin my interest in sport I want to study the subject further in education. I haveplayed sport ever since I was young and still play it now, and still feel soemphatic in wanting to learn more about the subject. Sport being a key factor ofmy life, being very interested and driven to teach the subject, I am willing tosucceed into studying sport further and give back to the subject to what Ilearned out of it.

For my work experience with the school, I went to Airdrie Leisure Centre,where I worked a sport related working environment. During my week at AirdrieLeisure Centre I tackled day to day tasks and also organising sporting eventsand programmes. I fully enjoyed working that week as I could get an insight onwhat is expected and how to handle the pressure on making sure things got doneon time. The work experience week helped, as I knew from then on that I wantedto do something related to sport in future education. I will always look forwardto dealing with anything related to sport, as I learn about the subject I justwant to go out and try out what I have been learning. Having the skill ofdetermination and high level of commitment in need to be successful in doing anycourse, but especially for this course as sport is challenging and is always hasdifferent situations to deal with. The career I have in mind is to allow in thepath of Teaching. Physical Education would be the ideal teaching career I wouldlike to follow, able to teach young children and being able to give back what Ilearned from my experience. The main reason for wanting to teach is that I wantpeople to see the subject the way I see it and the way I enjoy it. After thecompletion of this course, my aim is to pass this course on view on doing a oneyear post graduate degree. My target will be to become a Physical Educationteacher, after all my course has been passed successfully.

With work experience I learned many important skills in how to besuccessful. Communication a very important skill in which nothing runs smoothlywithout good communication. Also listening to others around you and taking theiradvice is another key factor in achieving my goals. Working part time inSafeway, has also really helped me learn about good people skills needed whileworking with other people. Both working by myself and more importantly in a teamare very important to making sure things don't go wrong. When working in a teamI learned that things go well only when there is good communication betweenmyself and the team, as well as positive motivation. During my time in workexperience and also in my part time job, I have certain deadline's to meet andfor the work to be done completely for that deadline. Problem solving is onthing I need to challenge at my work and also at my football. As there are manyquick decisions needing to be made in order to out smart my opponent. As for mywork a different kind of problem solving is needed, as I need to be able to makecorrect decisions in the working place.

While being at school in the last year, I had many responsibilities. I wasnominated to be a prefect for my house. Being a prefect was a great privilege asI had to be very responsible as lead by example to the young half of the things which I had to do was help out at house assembles and sportingevents. Organising the sporting events was so much fun and I was able to get anidea of what it was like to organise something which I was interested her very proud moment for me was to be able to represent my school team ascaptain. To be successful in being a good captain, was to be motivational andalso not using criticism towards my team mates instead I used encouragement. Mymain task in being captain was to make sure my team had a solid base andeverybody knew what they were doing for the game. Also I had to make sure themanagers game plan actually got through to the players. Attending BB's was areally enjoyable and very challenging too. It came with many differentcircumstances such as helping out a lot of people and also looking at the goodthings in life. The B.B camp was such fun too, as me being a group leaderthroughout my last year, I had to make sure I was in great shape both onappearance and in a physical context. As others would see me as an example tofollow and I wanted it to be a good one

My hobbies and interests range from lots of different and challengingactivities. I play football for Whitburn AFC at under19 level, where I play as aright midfielder which I enjoy immensely. I like socialising with many differentkinds of friends. The things I enjoy greatly with my friends are playing pool atmy local pool hall, where I am a member of. The cinema is a place where I go asoften I can, as I am a huge movie fan, I like both action and other sorts andtypes of films. The thing I would say I do the most is listening to music; Ilike mainly rock music however my cd collect ranges from a wide selection ofmusic. With my interest in music I go to see my favourite bands when they comeon tour, I have been to five gigs so far in my life and have two gigs still togo to. The internet and computers is something I usually do with my spear time,but I would not say it's my main interest in life. Travelling to many differentcountries is a great experience; I have been to Spain, Belgium, Holland, Franceand even England. Spain has been a great experience as I go to a little town inSpain just outside Barcelona. It's different from going to the resorts in Spain,as hardly anybody speaks English, however I found that you can communicate withthese people who speak a different language from me and I am still able tounderstand. Also meeting people from abroad is very interesting and also seeinghow they live there life.

Yours sincerely,
