Will my education gap and low bachelor percentage affect my chances of getting a study visa in Canada/USA for a Bachelor's?
02 Jul 2026 · Answered by Edayachandiran Velmurugan · 1 min read
Yes, both an education gap and a low bachelor's percentage can affect your chances of getting a study visa for Canada or the USA, but they do not automatically disqualify you.
- Study gap: Both countries assess the reasons for your gap. A clear explanation and supporting documents are important.
- Low bachelor's percentage: Some institutions may still consider your application, especially if you show improvement in later studies or relevant work experience.
A strong statement of purpose (SOP) and supporting documents can help address these concerns. If you need tailored guidance on presenting your profile, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
