I completed my 10th in 2014 and then completed 12th in 2019. As you can see I have year gap....Can anyone please tell me which colleges in Canada will most likely to accept me?

But all the agencies here says that I will get rejected because of it
That's ridiculous. A lot of people go for further studies even decades later! What have you been doing in that 5 years? If you can show productive use of that time - self development, work, etc - then the gap will not be an issue at all.

I have not come across any school were gap in study is a firm disqualifying factor. Beware of any agent that tries to tell you otherwise.

I was supposed to complete my 12th grade in 2016 and I did go to school but I couldn't write my final exam because I was pregnant. After my delivery I completed it in 2019. One agency told me that my excuse wasn't good enough...

Well, that isn't an excuse, it's the truth. Truth does not have to be good enough, it just is.

How well did you do in your 12th? You can actually use your story as a leverage . Write a strong SoP focusing on your tenacity, passion and determination that propelled to go back to school despite having to take care of your baby and every other challenge that comes with being a young mum.

I told them that and they just said that it wasn't Canadian culture to get pregnant and married at 18. I just cried all night cause of this....I was so looking forward to fulfil my dream and now i just kind of lost hope....I got 70 percentage in 10th and 65 in 12th.

Any college or university in Canada may accept you as an undergraduate student, provided you have good grades and tons of cash (international undergraduate tuition costs are very expensive).

You don't need or have to go through a consultant to apply/get admission to undergraduate institutions in Canada. You can do all the work yourself, but it will take lots of your time to research and apply for institutions you like.

Don't listen to these backward consultants or advisors, whatever they are called. What matters is your grades and will to succeed. Life gives you unexpected challenges sometimes, it's how we cope that is important. University admissions officers understand this and in no way will penalize your for your gap as long as you can tell your story.

I have an urgent query.
I have 7 in 3 modules listening. speaking and reading but 5.5 in writing. What are my chances for non sds? I am a double gold medalist in my bachelor's degree with 82% and applying for masters. Can I get visa?

Hey why don't you apply in CNA ? College of the North Atlantic. It's in Newfoundland. There any hundreds of diploma courses and you can apply with your inter degree. They do have a good acceptance rate with affordable fee. Do check!

What was your overall score? Having a 5.5 in writing does not bode well for you, cos as a Master's student your written english has to be up to par. But perhaps with a well-written SoP and confirmation of english as medium of instruction from your past schools, you might be able to convince the VO.
