English grad studies advice, please?

<p>Hey all, </p>

<p>I'm British and am currently an undergraduate English major at university in the UK. I have my heart set on applying for postgrad studies in Canada this year and I'm working on appications to U of T, McGill and Concordia. </p>

<p>Basically, as the Canadian educative system is unfamiliar to me (because I've studied in Britain up until now), I would like to know what needs to be covered in the statement of proposed research.</p>

<p>Could anybody please give me an idea? (Step by step sort of instructions would be amazing, but really ANY advice whatsoever would be very much appreciated.)</p>

<p>Seeing as this is urgent and I have no idea where to start, I could REALLY use some suggestions :-&lt;/p>

<p>Many thanks indeed and I look forward to hearing back from you :)</p>
