in my opinion you are wasting your time,,7 years is a big gap

Do you mean that it is hard to get study visa, 7 years after completing UG? even if somebody is working in a good MNC company or otherwise after studies and now want to study further?

Please advise on this matter as i have the same doubt but i will have around 4.5 yrs of exp by the time i apply for visa.

well, It doesn't matter any way.. unless you are applying for something that is not in any way match with either your education or experience. For example, doing Diploma after having a undergraduate degree with 6 7 years. You can go for Masters / PhD programs directly or even a certification that may improve your job position. you have to write a convincing SOP so that you can clear yourself.

Even I have applied after 3 years of completing my Under Graduate Studies, having 3 years of experience. Going for Post Graduate Certification. I hope they don't reject it

I applied to Sheridan College first, but due to its HIGH fee, I than applied over Humber. I got acceptance to both, but I am pursuing for Humber. I am going for Post Graduate Certification in Project Management.

Hello Seniors,

Any suggestions/ tips, how to make a strong case when you have some years of experience but it's not relevant

what to write in SOP and, what not? Need some suggestions

Dear Bravo Risky,

It is not a problem at all, provided you could prove that, you have been working for all these years after graduation. The case would be stronger, if you could show proof of continuous academic updation/ professional updations (like participation in seminars/ training programs/ shorter courses etc.). In Canada, age or gaps doesn't matter much, but you should remember that, at the admission process you are competing with fresh brains... Try to prepare strong SoP and ensure higher bands/points in Language Tests. If you have time try to get certifications in more languages too.

if you are intending to change field, make convincing statements regarding, new choice. As admission committees have good level of flexibility, I hope, your honesty will get result.

Wish you all the best.
