Do Backlogs Affect Canada Student Visas?

Want to pursue studies in Canada with backlogs? The answer is yes, you are eligible for getting admitted even with backlogs. Even though many Canadian Universities accept students based on merit, few of the reputed Canadian Universities/Colleges are lenient in the admission process. They select the deserved & eligible international students even with backlogs to continue their studies in Canada.

Canadian Universities takes into account your backlog on the basis of the number of subjects or in some instances the time taken by you to clear them. Usually low-grades & absenteeism are the main reasons behind the arrears. Yet, maintaining a good overall score in the reappearing exam pushes the Universities to having no valid reason to reject your application. Having a decent percentage in standardized exams like IELTS etc. will also diminish the impact of backlogs in your application.

Besides that, your scores in core papers of your graduation determines the processing of your application. If you are applying to the Computer Science & you have an excellent score in Programming Language subjects, your chances of acceptance improve, despite the fact that you have backlogs in other subjects. This hikes your probability in comparison to other candidates with backlogs.

But it is quite certain that you won’t be able to apply for any Canadian universities with active backlogs.

As per the accepted rule of thumb, the reputed Canadian Universities given below accept the deserving candidates, even with 10 plus backlogs:

Always make sure not to submit your mark sheets that comprise your backlog details. Submit the ones given by your University after the clearance of the backlog subjects.

In Canada, candidates with at most 5 backlogs & with a minimum of 70% in bachelor’s degree are easily accepted. A Few universities may also accept candidates with 7 or 8 backlogs & with a minimum of 65% and above in bachelor’s degree in PG degree programmes.

Students having more than 10 or 12 backlogs are also eligible to apply for PG diplomas in Canada. Besides that, the admissions may be granted for candidates with a higher number of backlogs, but on a case-to-case basis. Anyways, you are still eligible to pursue higher studies in Canada!!

A decent CGPA will make it possible for you to get admitted in Canada despite your backlog history. However, it is totally dependent on the hands of university officials.

Always make sure to apply for more than 2 universities to maximize your chances of getting admitted there.

Client Testimonial

MBBS Abroad is a big decision and your success depends upon the honesty of your consultant. It is a long process starting from choosing the right college to reaching there at college door step and finally studying there for next 5-6 years. You are in a new country without many old friends. We were sure to approach a consultant who is based out of our district only so that not only during admission but for next 6 years, we can have smooth interactions. So, we approached GKWorks as they have a branch in Saharanpur. As we anticipated, there are lot of things to be done during admission process that goes for 3-4 months. At every step, it was useful for us to have our consultant who was only 20 minutes’ drive from our home. We were able to discuss everything face to face any day and thus were able to have easy process.
