PG Diploma in Canada after 6 years work exp

[jitto]

Dear all

I currently have an experience of 4.5 years and deputed abroad for 1.5 years. I am working in an IT industry as Network engineer

Once I return to India I would like to apply for PG diploma in Canada preferably a 2 years course .

Please view my profiles below

10th year 2003 - 83%
12th year 2005 - 84%
Bsc IT year 2008 - 75%
CCNA year 2011 and pursuing CCNP certification

Can you please let me know If I would be able to or will be eligible to apply for a PG diploma in Canada for 2 years. I heard a study gap of 5 years will not be accepted . Kindly clarify and put your thoughts


Thanks in advance for your help


Regards
Jitto

I don't think study-gap will be any concern if you have appropriate experience letter.
Try to get good score in IELTS like 7 or more,because the VO expects good IELTS score for mature applicant.
I have heard from one of my friend for a case where a person graduated in 2004 but yet got visa approved for PG diploma.

Thanks Siddhesh and Teh for your reply.

I read under SPP I cannot apply for study permit after 5 years gap in education, hence the worry.Once I come to India my gap would be 6 years.In this case which category should I go with.

The 2004 case was approved under SPP and I know another person whose SPP visa got approved with same 6 years experience as yours this year.

Since your academic background is also strong , you will definately get SPP visa.

Only thing you should remember is apply for GIC much earlier which takes quiet a lot time for processing,even though many will say it does not take time.

GIC makes your case strong when you apply under SPP.Keep documentation simple for SPP.

Hi jit2013,

I had applied on 29 July in Mumbai VHS , my study visa got approved within 8-9 days from Delhi CHC.
You should have the status within that much time.

What status does it displays on VFS website for your visa application.
Call the VFS and enquire about the status of your visa.

 

[jit2013]

Yes i have checked it and is shown under process, I think there are many who are waiting for a long time to know the status
