Hi Friend,

I have completed my Bachelor in Physiotherapy (From India) and there after I did my Msc in Health management (From UK). Since past 4 and Half year I have been working with Patient's electronic health records. I have applied for Diploma in Health information management to focus on ICD 10 coding and health care data analysis. As there is no Master course available which gives provides both of these modules together. Is that fine? please help? Thanks

Hi,

Have you done WES evaluation to verify equivalence with Canadian degree? There is free tool available on WES website but it just to give you brief idea. Please have a look, if that helps. Thanks

Yes you can.
Better if you apply for MSc at some Canadian University, which will also provide you scholarships in terms of RA/TA as you being International student. For PG Diploma's there is very slight chance of any funding. Also you can try applying for MEng courses, again very rare to find funding for it but easy to get admission as compared to MSc.
Good luck.!

Sorry, I dont want to discourage you but yes you already have Masters from India (which you can't hide) and now applying for something inferior course. There are chances of refusal but it all depends on your luck too. I won't take that chance.

hello all.
my profile is : Btech in 2013 with 4 backlogs, Mtech finished in 2015 with 5 backlogs, with 1 year of experience and still working. I want to go for PGD course for May 2018 intake. Should I have to hide my masters or with masters I can get Visa? Because may agents told me that after masters they wont select you. Please some expert guide me.
Thank you

Horrible idea to lie in your application and hide your Masters.

I'm assuming that at some point you will want to apply for PR - and you'll want to declare your Masters because it will give you more points and increase your chances of being selected for PR. However if you've hidden your Masters in your study permit - this will create complications when you then want to submit your PR application and include your Masters.

Write a strong SOP to explain your studies in Canada - don't lie in your application.

Thank you for your response. I am aware about the PR points but what I scare of is the agent's response. Like IDP consultants speak negatively and many others too.

They're just after your money/fees. They don't care about your long term plans.

After detailed research and advise of experts on this forum I have found that Diploma after mastersis not a good choice....
It shud be taken as last option....when you have tried all other...And there's huge risk in that...

Thank you everybody.... :)
what about having a bachelor degree and applying for advanced diploma with A good SOP?
