Do we have to show work experience to the high comission? Even if we have other ties?

We still have some minor land in Pak. I think under my name is a plot, 25k dollar value. Do I still have to show work experience if I apply for student visa (am planning to do Co op MBA). My work exp up till now has not been in pakistan...

My work xp has been minor internships here and there. Wait, I get why the university needs to see work xp for admissions into MBA, but why does the high comission care about gap year?

Will my minor internships be enough?

The issue is not your work experience. It's actually an indirect relation they make to judge, what have you been up to after graduation. What are your employment prospects in your country after your last highest qualification? They might think since you are not working anywhere after your bachelors degree, you don't really have good prospects and hence you want to immigrate to Canada via study permit route.

I hope you get an idea now.

Work experience adds a lot of to your Profile and it is optional, if you can show other ties then no need of it.........
