Gap years

[Hussain Junejo]

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.

Working during gap year has no impact. Many people take a gap year.

I didn't officially work in some organization, I was self-employed for past 1.5 years since my graduation.

So. Many people take a gap year and travel.

So, I should explicitly state that I worked in my own-startup (which was an e-commerce store)?

Also how to go about "why I want to do masters?". Considering if I state that I've my own start-up, so who will look after that start-up if I go for masters?

Of course, you say that you worked on your own start-up. What school? Is it a public DLI and not a private DLI like Canada West? You need to show how it will build your business.

Im planning to go for Business Analytics course from Concordia, which I believe is a public DLI.
