Wow ! Many many congrats and I feel so elated for you. Good luck !

If you have time, can you list the documents you submitted and the order in which you arranged it. It will really help other folks.

Finally, what is the average length of SOP (in context of MS-Word document) and what points you covered in it. Thanks !

The caips note reason was large study gap not a bonafied student n will not depart canada. However i have applied again on 12th june with strong SOP. I will update u. But u must try n convince the VO as suggested by Ketan. I know people who have got visa after long study gap.

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.

My name is Jignesh and I passed 12 std 9 yrs ago, now I want to go to Canada for further studies but many agents told me that this gap is not acceptable. So, I thought what if I do bechlor in India and then apply for masters in Canada. My gap will be filled up. Can someone go this way? If they doesn't get student visa, so can they do bechlor in their country and again apply for Master, so they doesn't have any gap issue after that.

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
