You'll typically need these documents for your Master's application to Canada or Ireland:

- Academic transcripts and degree certificates from all post-secondary studies
- Statement of Purpose (SOP) explaining your motivation and goals
- Letters of Recommendation (LORs) (usually 2-3 from professors or employers)
- CV or resume with your education, experience, and achievements
- English test scores: Most programs require an overall IELTS of 6.5; your current score is 6.0, so you may need to retake IELTS or consider TOEFL/PTE (requirements vary by university)
- Proof of funds (bank statements or GIC for Canada)
- Passport copy
- GRE/GMAT scores if required by your chosen program

Requirements can differ by university and program. If your degree was taught in English, some universities may accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter.

If you need help preparing or submitting these documents, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you through the next steps.

You’ll need to prepare several key documents for your undergraduate applications to Canada and Ireland. Work experience certificates are not mandatory, but including them can strengthen your application, especially with your 12 years of experience.

Typical required documents include:

- Academic transcripts and certificates (10th, 12th, and higher education)
- Statement of Purpose (SOP)
- CV/resume
- Letters of recommendation (usually 2-3)
- English language test scores (such as IELTS, if required)
- Valid passport copy
- Proof of application fee payment
- Proof of financial support
- Standardized test scores (if required by the program)
- Supplementary materials (like portfolios, if requested)

If you have relevant work experience, include certificates detailing your role and duration. This can add value to your profile.

If you need help organizing or verifying your documents, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you through the process.
