Want to Study in Canada? Learn What Admissions Officers Really Look For (From Someone Who Was One)

Hi, I’m Kristy — and I’ve read hundreds of university applications.

For years, I worked behind the scenes in university admissions, reviewing applications, reading personal statements, and helping decide who gets that offer letter. I know what makes an application stand out—and just as importantly, what keeps prospective students "stuck".


Why I Started My Admissions Pal

After years of working in admissions, I kept seeing the same thing: smart, motivated students sending in applications that didn’t reflect their full potential. Not because they weren’t capable—but because no one ever taught them how to research, apply, and follow up on their applications in a way Canadian universities expect.


Even the brightest students can miss out on offers simply because they didn’t understand how the system really works. That’s why I created My Admissions Pal—to give students like you real, insider-backed guidance and support.


What Makes Me Different

There are a lot of people online offering admissions advice. But I’ve actually:

  • Worked as an admissions officer at three Canadian universities
  • Reviewed hundreds of transcripts from international students since 2014
  • Seen what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to grades, pre-requisites, document submission and how to ask for guidance
  • Built resources based on what I’ve learned from the inside


Education is one of the most powerful tools we have to change the world—and I’ve seen that power up close. Over the years, I’ve been honoured to support amazing students from all over—China, India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Iran, Ghana, Australia, and more. Each one brought their unique story, strength, and dreams. Together, we’ve faced tough challenges like complex requirements, moments of doubt, and feeling overwhelmed—but we found the resources and solutions to keep moving forward.


I’m here to offer you that same support and guidance, so you can push past the obstacles, earn your degree, and walk proudly across that convocation stage. A degree isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s the foundation for the future you want to create. Let’s make that future happen—together.


My approach is all about:

  • Experience
  • Understanding your goals and dreams
  • Positive, actionable steps to help you gain admission to a Canadian university
