In My Opinion, your previous Masters and that of your recent intended Masters are totally different which could be a course/program mismatch

But, you can still use your 7yrs work experience as a powerful weapon because the VOs are looking for either a student go for a program that matches/relates with their previous studies or their work experience

SOP is a bridge between getting accepted or refused because it relates your thoughts on your behalf to the VOs.. so, trying to start constructing a really good SOP with an actual and good convincing fact about while going for a management course instead of engineering

State your points with brevity and make you paint a very clear picture for the VO to buy into your reasons for switching fields
Hey John,

I have been unemployed for more than a year now, and I'm planning to study in Canada. Would that be a factor for refusal?

In my gap year, I enrolled in an online program (hoping to finish it Jan2020) and am currently reviewing for the CFA level 1 exam. What do you think are my chances of refusal on the grounds of unemployment? I'm a CPA, pursuing the CFA charter and a post-grad business management course in Canada.

If you can account for those period you stayed unemployed with tangible reasons and evidence, and as well showing/having a solid financial standing especially that which can sufficiently cover your tuition fees and living expenses. Then you may have an improved chances.

Hey! I was in a similar situation as yours, I had a 8 years gap between the time I completed my bachelors and application for the Canadian student visa. I remember making a strong SOP showing strong ties to my home country and wanting to utilize the skills from my course to advance my career back home. My visa was promptly approved!
