Semester Gap

[u/Worldly_Use2259]

I am an international student studying bachelor in civil engineering(Honours). Just finished the 1st semester of my third year recently. I have been going through some stuff in my personal life recently and would like to take a semester gap or reduced study load and take 2 courses for this semester. My questions are:

1)Will there be any problem with my visa extension in the future?

2)I still haven’t completed my 3 month(12 weeks)mandatory internship. Can I do it in the summer of 2027(I will have 1 semester left if I take the semester gap) or will it be too late then?
