Does Age Matter for a Study Visa Application Abroad?
I’m a 31-year-old Nigerian planning to pursue an undergraduate degree in the UK, Canada or Poland. I intend to manage my own admission and visa process without using an agent. I’m worried my age might affect the visa outcome. I completed WAEC in 2011 and earned A-Levels in 2019. I gained admission to LAUTECH in 2019 but withdrew after a year due to financial constraints. Since then I’ve been working and now have the funds to study abroad. I’d appreciate any advice on handling age-related concerns in my application. Suggestions on strengthening my profile or alternative pathways are welcome.
