Do you have any academic or career gaps in Canada for a Master's?

It's common and generally acceptable to have a gap between your undergraduate degree and your planned master's in Canada, as long as you can clearly explain how you used that time.

Canadian universities and visa officers typically want to see:
- Honest explanation for any academic or career gap
- Supporting documents (such as work experience letters, certifications, or medical records)
- Connection to your future goals in your statement of purpose (SOP)

A well-documented gap, especially if it involved relevant work or skill-building, usually won't hurt your chances.
