Can having a CURRENT study that might seem different than the primary occupation cause a problem?

Dear seniors,

I have masters degree in structural engineering and I have 5 years work experience. 4 month ago I got an admission in a masters programs in Computer Science, with intentions to boost up my career, not to change it. Now I have got ITA and I have few concerns:

1- Since it's an incomplete study and I don't have ECA for it, is it OK to not mention this study in education history form?

2- Can mentioning this current study in Personal History form cause a problem? It might seem that I am intending to work in an area different than the primary occupation that I have declared.

3- I know that there is a time limit to go to Canada after getting the PR .But it takes 2 years to complete this study and I don't want to imply that if I got the PR I wouldn't go to Canada. Because if I get the PR sooner I will end my studies and go. Am I over-thinking this or can it cause a problem?

Thank you

There's nothing wrong in having and disclosing a study in a different field

Thank you for your response. What about the implications and also not mentioning it in education history?
You don't have to mention it in education history, simply mention it in your personal history after ITA.
