When writing the SOP about finances, can I mention that I am taking a loan for the second year in Canada?

Yes, you can mention in your Statement of Purpose (SOP) that you plan to take a loan for your second year of studies in Canada. This shows proactive financial planning and your commitment to completing the program.

When including this, be clear about:
- Your financial plan: Specify how you will fund both years, mentioning the loan amount and the lender for the second year.
- Repayment strategy: Briefly explain how you will repay the loan, making it clear this does not depend on working in Canada.
- Overall preparedness: Show you have funds to cover tuition, living expenses, and travel for your entire course.

Detailing this in your SOP can strengthen your application by demonstrating responsibility and planning.
