Chances of getting Masters admission in New Zealand after 21 backlogs in Bachelor's

[troyz]

Hi,
I am from India and I had 21 backlogs in my 4 year Computer Science Engineering Bachelor's (took 9 years to complete, with 61%). I have 5 years experience as a Software Engineer as a desktop application developer in Aerospace industry. I am 31 years old and single.

I would like to know my chances of getting Masters in (CS or IT) admission (and visa approval) for universities in New Zealand.

I am very confident of getting 7.5+ in academic IELTS (I had 8 in General IELTS 2 years back written for Canada PR, which didn't work out well)

I heard my chances are low for USA and Canada, Can someone tell me the options I have

Thanks.

With your background, getting into a Master's program in New Zealand might be tough due to the 21 backlogs in your Bachelor's and the lengthy completion time. However, your work experience and potential high IELTS score could help. It's worth contacting universities directly to discuss your options and see if there are any alternative pathways or programs that could work for you. But honestly, profession advice is always recommended, When my brother moved there on a student visa the lawyers guided him at every step, so contact them maybe?
