DLNEY,

You don't have to hide the already acquired MSc certificate, considering it's related to your proposed course in canada. You're better off presenting justifiable reasons to why you opted for a second masters degree at this point in time rather than Master's. Show correlation of program with your intended program and career goals. I have seen applicants going for second masters degree and were approved of their visas. I'll advise you do the same, in as much as you're unable to get an admission for PhD. Think on how to present a standardized SOP that explains your intention for study and you will be fine.

All the best!

Thanks drhammed, I greatly appreciate your comment sir,

Yeah I did apply to the US for PhD in Nov 2016 for the 2017 session, Got an interview (out of 6 apps) from UAB, passed, but my admission got rescinded because of school's financial constraints and maybe the trump factor too, I didnt know, they only apologised with no concrete reason. so decided to try canada and move on from US and their wahala.

I will try again this oct I guess, But thanks for your comments sir, it has greatly boasted my confidence.

Goodluck to other TRVs applicants.

I will keep this thread updated as I move along.

Other comments are still welcomed my ogas on this threads

drhammed:
With this your great profile, why not focus your search to USA? Atleast to secure some funds?.

Well, as regards Canada Study Permit, Write a very convincing SOP and you will be very good to go. Your 1st M.Sc should not serve as a barrier if your SOP is convincing enough.

I still advise you consider USA in future so this great GRE Score and research experience don't just waste.

Best wishes.

Hello everyone,
I joined this thread through the recommendation of a friend who got her TRV with the help of you guys and God.

I'm a newbie and its quite complicated. I have read the line of thought from Part 8 till now and I want the GURUS to please comment.

I have a masters degree (Distinction) (2016) and a B.Sc. (2.1) in Genetics, a couple of publications, passed GRE (320/340)and TOEFL, had interships with some federal research institutes too. Tried to secure both Ph.D. and M.Sc. Admission (with scholarship) to no avail. Finally decided to apply to a micro-program in Neuroscience (neurogenetics) in U of Montreal. I got the admission (Winter 2019). I applied for the micro-program because I dont have enough money to pay for the Masters Program.

With all the emphasis laid on the progression of studies, I am really really scared that this might be a major mess on my application.

Can I hide the M.Sc. certificate, even though U of M knows that I have an M.Sc. degree?

So here I am esteemed gurus, I am determined to make the app work and all comments and suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

I plan to apply next month but first the big question: BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCES (THE GURU'S) IS IT DOABLE?
