i have a master degree in social work outside Canada, would it be difficult to get a student visa if i want to admit a diploma or certificate course?

Any recommendations if i want to study a course in canada?
 
I'm having the same doubt.

I will complete masters by next month and thinking to apply for a graduate certificate program. Can I do it or will there be any issue with visa/college?

A diploma or certificate is usually considered a lower level than a master's. Why would you want to attend a course with lower credentials than you already completed? You will easily get admitted to the course. It is the visa where you will get stuck.

I want to do the Graduate Certificate after masters because I'm not satisfied with what I learned here so want to study more in depth and the course I liked is under Graduate Certificate. Will a strong SOP can help me with visa?

Only a strong SOP will help. It is not impossible, but very difficult to convince the vo as to why you are applying for a lower certification course.

Okay Thanks, Will it help if I mention info like college/studying here didn't help me much as this a new course in my country and studying abroad will help me learn better and help me build my career etc

Don't try to hide your previous education history. If you do, and the visa office discover it, you can expect a 5 years ban for misrepresentation.

I did masters through distance learning and planning for graduate certificate course in Canada, any suggestion for positive outcome.
