Hey, if anyone could help me with a couple things, I'd really appreciate it.

Basically, there's just a few grammar points that I'm getting hung up on. Currently, I'm trying to translate the following:

"I want to study abroad in Canada next year, but I don’t like the English professor, so I can’t go. I can’t get him to write a letter of recommendation."

Right now, I have:
Rainen Canada ni benkyoushi ni ikitai, ga eigo no sensei ga kirai desu kara, ikemasen.  Watashi ni suisenjo o kaite kureraremasen.

I think I have the gist of the first sentence down, but if you see any fatal flaws please fix them.  As for the second sentence, I'm pretty stumped.  I know that I have to work in 'ndesu' form in there somehow, but I'm not sure how.  As for the garbled mess at the end, I translated writing a letter of recommendation as "suisenjo o kaite kureraremasen" (te form and kureru because it's a favor, and then I attempted potential form to make it kurerareru, which I don't even think is right).
