Please consider providing a more thorough explanation of your inquiries.

The students may study in Canada even if they have a break of up to five years. Additionally, suppose a student with a study gap of more than five years can give a sincere and honest explanation. In that case, they may still be eligible for a student visa in Canada. A study gap of up to five years is allowed in Canada for students looking to enroll in a postgraduate degree. The country allows a study gap of up to two years.

Universities in Australia let students list gap years on their resumes as long as they can show valid justifications backed up by credible documentation. However, remember that a gap of more than a year can affect your ability to be admitted to higher-ranked universities.

One of the most popular programmes, BCA, will help you land respectable positions like web developer, web designer, network administrator, system manager, computer programmer, software developer, software tester, etc. The bulk of MNCs is looking for candidates that are skilled in the area of computer application.

System engineers, technical architects, java developers, and other job categories in the IT and computer industries are open to BCA graduates from India and those who pursued their degrees abroad. In addition to a BCA degree and a master's degree in computer science or a similar discipline, the job listings frequently call for 4-5 years of work experience.

  • Canadian Technical Architect
  • Nigerian Contec Global Group Network Administrator

Therefore, while learning, you might work in Australia and Canada. Alternatively, you can apply to any of the universities mentioned earlier, regardless of your gap year. Let me know if you want to know more on this.
