1.What is Gap Year?
Gap time is the time off between 2 of your programs. The Government of Canada allows international students to have a maximum of 150 days of gap time. If international students have more than 150 days in their gap time, then they only have 2 options: leave Canada and then come back when their second program starts, or choose to study a short course in their gap time.
Many international students in Canada are not aware of this policy, so they might not be able to have the full 3-year PGWP, even though they already finished a 2-year program in Canada. Moreover, if you take your gap time longer than the time you are allowed, your school will be responsible for informing CIC about your absence. Then you will have to give a valid and reasonable explanation for your absence, if you are failed then CIC will send out the Termination Letter which will force you to fly back to your country.
