Student visa after 8 years gap

[eagerly]

So here is the problem, after working for 17 years you should apply to master program in University. There is a very high chance that with diploma program the visa will get rejected.

Thank you. Are the masterals in Canada which don't require recommendation letters? Thanks.

Thank you. Are the masterals in Canada which don't require recommendation letters? Thanks.

For master admittance most of the universities will require two References. This can be 2 professional reference or 2 educational reference or 1 prof & 1 edu. For Course based Master's, recommendation from university professors are not required. However, when applying for project based or thesis based masters such reference is needed.
You should try looking for masters which are only course based and you can make your application using 2 professional reference.

Hello Shreya,

well, there are mix reviews you will find in this forum, even in outside real world. I do also have nearly 7 years of gap and I researched a lot to get information about whether I am eligible to apply for study visa or not. But really got mixed reviews.

I strongly recommend you to please listen to your inner voice if it says yes then please go for it. There are many cases I have read on this forum who got their visa after nearly 8-10 years gap and many also not got a visa even without any gap.

I am applying for student visa JAN 2018, gathering documents and arranging finance. Please keep in touch I will really help you to share much information which probably I haven't got easily.

Visa depends on mainly Three criteria.
1) your actual intention to study further after such a long period.
2) is your future study linking with your past experience or not?
3) prove that you will come back at the end of the study permit (just for visa officer)

Wishing you best of luck for your decision.

Hi guys sorry for the late reply
Yes,I got my visa when I reapplied. I reapplied with strong SOP and gave the income tax returns of my parents,my wife and myself for the past two to three years to show them that me and all my family members are stable and my main intention is to come back after studies..I reapplied for my visa through Santa Monica agency. They converted the offer letter taken by me as an offer letter taken through them so that they could get the commission and only charged me a nominal fee of Rs.2500 for visa processing. All those documents stated above were produced as told by them and I got my visa within 20 days...Right now I am in my last semester of Big Data Analytics and will apply for my PR after that..There are There are about 3 to 4 people in my course who has more than 5 years of education gap..I think if you can prove that if the course you take can enhance your career your visa will be approved

It would be very helpful to me, if you share me which branch ( Hyderabad or Bangalore) of Santa Monica did you applied?

Hi All,

I have completed my graduation in 2009 and afterwards I pursued for PGDBA in finance and HR. Meanwhile i started working from 2010 and since then i was working in accounts field.

I have queries about study visa in Canada.
1. Can it create any issue in getting study visa after having gap in studies of around 8 years.
2. During the time I also applied for PR in Canada,as I was advised by my consultant to go through PR in Canada, that will reduce the condition to working hours specified for Students, can this will create any issue in getting study visa.

Waiting for your replies.

Thanks in advance.

hi ketan

how r u. I too am interested to study in canada after 16 years gap.
My first question is : is it possible?
Who are the agents whom we can verify the same.
How much will be the cost?
I have a family of two kids and wife. Will it be difficult to study?
My main aim is to get pr after study. is it possible.
Kindly do advise.
Thanks for the help.

Hi in my opinion if you can justify the gap then its not difficult to get SP. For example, once you finished studying in your home country, you started working for 16 yrs. Now you realized xyz program can be addition to your skills and opportunities.
If i were you i should also try to go direct for PR because 16 yrs of experience is huge.

Hey
U can apply n will got visa if u dnt have any gap after ur studies. Also if u have gap u shud have a legit reasons to convince them. It really doesn’t matter how old are you... when i was in school few students were more than 50 years of age.
What really matters is which course tou are choosing , you shud choose a course which is relatable to your previous studies n job.
Don’t hesitate to apply and of u wanna come den don’t waste time... coz its better to come here at younger age as you will see most of the kids in class are after 12th or btech. So if u wanna come dont waste ur time.
Good luck.
