You can do masters yes, but there are certain things to keep in mind. If you are going to apply for a masters degree in canada for the same field that you already have a masters from India, then you need to provide strong reason to repeat the same degree twice. If youre applying for a masters for a similar field as you present masters, then I dont think that would be a challenge. But do provide strong reasons.

Hello Mate, This is Vid. I am in a similar situation as you. I want to know your outcome. Did you do anything specific? I need your advice, sir. Please let me know how to overcome this issue. I need your advice on this, please.
The second masters will be under increased scrutiny due to the new policies regarding international students.

What do you mean by issues?

Hello Mate, Thanks for the reply. I mean by what kind of scrutiny my application will go through, like what are the vulnerable areas I need to take a look at, like SOP, University program (master's), previous master's, and anything I missed, etc. Thanks.

The Masters you plan to take in Canada has to be different than the Masters you already have but should be in a related field. You will need to explain in your SOP why you are pursuign the second one (i.e., how this will enhance your career, etc.).

Hiya, Thanks for the prompt. My first one is an MSc in Finance and Investment Management, and I am currently planning to take an MS in Finance. Would it be a problem, although the subjects, focus areas, opportunities, options, etc. Any other things I missed?

It sounds very similar to what you already have. So you'll have to convince IRCC how the second one is different / necessary for your career progression.

Thanks for the advice. Do I need to prove this through SOP? If yes, could you please share your knowledge or format for writing the SOP or any consultants that I need to take service from?

So you dont even know why you want to do similar Masters, why Canada leave aside you cant even justify on a SOP and you need people to help you with that?

Hello Simba (unwelcomed guest), How's it going, Mate? I'm seeking some guidance on the university requirements, visa application, and requirements, among other related matters, as I'm new to Canadian universities and IRCC, and the requirements here are different from what I'm used to in the UK. Although I have a Masters from a leading Russell Group university in the UK, I am very well aware of writing SOP's. I would appreciate any assistance in clearing up my doubts. I understand the value of public forums for seeking help, so please feel free to contribute. If you don't have any useful insights, please stay put. Let's keep the conversation respectful and helpful for everyone. Thank you!
