What documents like letter of recommendation, glossary paper, etc. are required for the application for a Master's?
You will typically need these documents for your master’s application to Canadian universities:
- Letters of Recommendation (LORs): Usually 2-3 from professors or employers.
- Statement of Purpose (SOP): Personal essay about your background and goals.
- Academic Transcripts and Degree Certificates: Official records of your studies, with certified translations if not in English or French.
- CV or Resume: Details of your education, work experience, and achievements.
- Proof of English Language Proficiency: IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent, unless you qualify for a waiver.
- Valid Passport Copy: Personal details page.
- Application Fee Payment Receipt: Proof of payment.
Additional documents may be needed for some programs, such as GRE/GMAT scores, a portfolio, or proof of financial support.
There is no requirement for a "glossary paper" in standard applications. If you meant a different document, please clarify.
