Hello,

I wanted to ask does it matter to have gap years?

After my A'Levels I had 1 year gap for my undergrad.

I graduated with my bachelors degree on Jun'2021, and since then I'm working in my own startup - technically since my graduation I'm self-employed.

Is working in my startup counted as gap year? If yes, will it have any bad impact on my visa application.

Hey, thanks for your response.

How did you justified your gap years? Also can you please check your inbox?

Hi There,

I'm 42 years old, work as a senior software engineer in Kuwait.

The last official education I had is a Bachelor of communication engineering from Egypt, in 2002,
I'm asking, with this long gap, can I get a study permit to study ( diploma for 1 or 2 years ) for the purpose to get PR?
I have 4 children and we all live in Kuwait.

Rather go for PR?

Express entry or so?

I'm waiting for my IELTS results to apply for Express Entry,
I contacted some immigration consultancy companies, and they replied that education is the best option for me.
