I just entered Canada for a Diploma program. I am presently 40 yrs and graduated since 1998. The only thing is that i have been to UK twice and still have valid UK visa. My both sponsors(brother and sister) are US citizen and are also living there. Many people tried to discourage me that I won't be given due to my gap in education. This includes representatives from colleges and universities from Canada. I was determined and I got my visa
