Hello All,

I would like some information on switching programs at Canadian universities.

I have a masters in general business, but did a biochemistry bachelors degree (Bsc), for my undergrad years. i want to move on to Canada for either a specialist masters ( lets say property investments or marketing) or a Phd in marketing, but was advised to go for a masters in biochemistry because the visa officers may reject my application for not been similar to my undergrad degree. Is this reasoning right? Does the course choice affect the visa officers decsion? Does it have to be similar to the undergrad Bsc degree.

Also for those already in Canada? Can one easy switch courses after landing in Canada? For example I apply for a masters in biochemistry, pause my studies and change to a masters or Phd in business management.

Your thoughts and recommendations are highly appreciated
Thank you.
