Would imagine getting into an IS security program would be quite difficult. Given your age, your time since you finished your education and the fact that you've tried to immigrate you'll have difficulty proving that you are a genuine student. If you get into these very competitive programs your chance is better but you will have to have a pretty convincing SOP.

If he is doing a college course unlikely. If he doing a masters or PhD much more likely.

I am in Newfoundland but it doesn't really matter. The longer the gap, the stronger the application needs to be
Hello sir. could you please share any SOP format if you have. I have done bachelors and since then working but had no gap in work, had gap in study for 18 years. I am trying to apply for canada in masters or post bach diploma. Also, please share what are the documents required to make the case stronger. If you could share SOP, that would be highly helpful for all of us. Thank you, Best Regards
