If you took approved leave then why are you not returning to the US to finish your studies? Beginning a new program makes no sense.
I have to apply for my f1 visa as it is expired and I personally want to continue my study in canada as for me canada is cheaper option right now and thats why i chose nova scotia as its affordable and there is personal issue for me not study in states anymore.

Cheaper is not a reason since you have spent years in the US studying. You need better reasons to study in Canada.

Your situation sounds like mine. I was an F-1 student in the US. But I transferred to Canada at 23 since it was much cheaper. In my SOP I gave reasons like I wanted to change my program (from Economics to Psychology), I got a scholarship, I wanted to become a counsellor/psychologist and I liked smaller towns/cities, which made it the right choice. That's what worked for me so maybe you could try including that your SOP + looking at the GC notes to show ties to your home country. Good luck!

I came back this year in January yes i took approved leave. I just visited dubai for visit and going back, not here for long term visit.
What is your home country? Are you sure you will get transfer credits if you are trying to only study for 2 years. If you get zero transfer credits you start from scratch. It is very unusual to switch countries to complete half your studies unless part of some organized exchange and that is only usually for 1 year. If you wanted to switch countries and degrees that may be more reasonable but then you would start from scratch or almost scratch.

You can say that youare no longer returning to the US because you are changing degrees. An SOP is a complicated and personal document that I can’t help you write. If you post your SOP people may be willing to post feedback.
