Yes, you can apply for a master's program if your backlogs have been cleared, even if they still appear on your transcript. Most universities accept applicants with cleared backlogs as long as there are no active (uncleared) backlogs when you apply.

Be prepared to provide proof, such as a backlog clearance certificate or updated transcripts. It can help to explain your academic progress in your Statement of Purpose and highlight your strengths, such as work experience or overall grades.
