Student visa after 8 years gap
- Thread starter Shreyadhi
- Start date
Hello Everyone, i need some suggestions.
Profile:
Btech in Civil Engineering- 2014-18
After that joined a company as a Business development associate position which is basically Sales profile in non technical field. Feb 2019-Aug 2020
After August 2020 till now I am unemployed.
Planning to go for PGDM in Marketing. Many of the consultant told me that I will not get Visa in this field as I have bachelor in Civil engg.
Then I decided to go for PGDM in Construction project management. But then some consultant told me that after civil you have gap of 2.5 yrs and you have work exp in sales so you can't go for CPM, your Visa will be rejected.
Can anyone help me out to find a way. I am not able to understand whether I am eligible or not. If yes then which course should I go for.

Hello Irenejohn,
A study gap can be justified through:
√ Employment
√ Extracurricular Activities
√ Voluntary Activities
√ Freelancing
√ Research (further learning)
√ Family (raising children)
√ etc.
If you are unsure of which university to enroll with, check out:
√ University of Windsor
√ Memorial University
√ University of Victoria
√ University of British Columbia
√ McMaster University
√ Concordia University
√ Simon Fraser University
√ Thompson Rivers University

Even I have a 15 year gap. I have got admission in NYIT, waiting for UBC's decision too. Would got for UBC, if I am fortunate enough to get it. Have you got your visa, you mentioned you'll be doing your MBA?
Dear all,
Here is my profile:
- Bachelor Degree in Management (general) in 2003 (17 years study gap )
- IELTS 7.0
- Never unemployed since graduating, I even worked full time while pursuing my bachelor degree: 1997-2007: administrative assistant, 2007-present: self-employed translator, 2010: Personal assistant to the commissioner of an oil company.
- One of the reasons why I wasn't able to pursue study earlier is because of raising my children (the same reason why I went freelancing), and now that they are of high school ages, I feel it's my turn to go back to school (will this reason be acceptable to the visa officer?) and boosting my management knowledge to put my business in a better position in the industry.
Now I want to pursue a 1-year graduate degree at NBCC - New Brunswick, either International Business Management or IT: Business Analysis as I run my own translation business.
Am I in a good position to apply for a study visa?
All replies are most appreciated.

I will be applying after a study gap of 16 years. I have been working ever since.
With a STRONG SOP, excellent IELTS and academics, and perfect course selection which justifies your move, you can get it. I think there is no harm in trying - its now or never.
