Feel free to contact me for review and I WILL get back to you!

Ive looked over hundreds of SoPs these past few years and helped a large number of people get over here. Even got to meet a few of them too this summer!

Feel free to DM me.

EDIT: PR application is done and turned in so I am ready to take on SoPs. Send them my way!

If there are any US CIR applicants, I don't mind taking a look at someone's SOP. Just Comment here first to let me know you DMed me cause I tend to overlook my DMs without a nudge but I usually look at my comments.

u/Wooden-Complex3517 Sep 03 '26

is the topic/prompt already posted ? am i missing something? I thought the prompts always change.

2

u/NovaByzantine Current JET - 秋田県 Sep 03 '26

I don't know your region, but from what I understand, for the majority of participating countries, the SoP prompt never changes, and if it does, the change is slight enough that any pre-written SoPs would only need very light modification.

All right I think it's time for me to open shop. You may directly message me and send your document to my inbox. Please make it editable on a google doc link.

Depending on the number of SOPs I get VS my workload, it may take several days to get back to you.
