If the company gives me an experience letter, will that cover my work experience gap?

No, an experience letter from your company will confirm your employment periods but will not cover or erase gaps in your work history. Visa officers and admission committees will still notice any breaks and may ask you to explain them.

Be prepared to clearly and honestly explain the reasons for any gaps, ideally showing how you used that time productively (such as skill-building or certifications). The experience letter supports your employment dates, but addressing gaps requires your explanation and relevant documents.
