If the USA is not a possibility for my study abroad, are there good options for me in Canada for a Master's?

Yes, Canada is an excellent option for your master's studies if the USA isn't possible.

Canadian universities are recognized for high-quality education, affordable tuition compared to the US, and a welcoming, multicultural environment. Many institutions are flexible about study gaps and value your professional experience. You can also work part-time during studies and may be eligible for a post-study work visa (PSW) after graduation.

Most master's programs require an overall IELTS score of 6.5 (with no band below 6.0), though some accept 6.0. Your 6-year gap can be addressed if you highlight your work experience.
