Not mentioning EDUCATION in STUDENT VISA : Isn't it Misrepresentation/False Information?

Hi there,I'm in a similar boat.
When I applied for a study permit, I didn't mention that I had a master's degree because the one I took had nothing to do with the career path I was looking for in Canada. Now I'm on a PGWP, I already submitted my express entry profile hoping I can get an ITA before completing the 1-year experience in Canada. I did ECA for my master's, not my bachelor's.
Some months ago I paid an immigration lawyer to help me create a clear path for my PR. I mentioned this case and asked if I was going to get in trouble for not mentioning the master's during my study permit process but using it for my express entry profile. The lawyer said it shouldn't be a problem and advised to get the ECA for the master. But now I get to this thread and generates some concern in me.
Any suggestions?

What did you choose in the highest level of education while applying for the PGWP ?
Hey brother, in your pgwp application, did you say you have done master's, or you just went with bachelors?I'm in a similar boat.

BachelorsHey brother, in your pgwp application, did you say you have done master's, or you just went with bachelors?
Hey can someone help with the below case:
In short, I have a 4 year bachelor degree and I started a masters and dropped out after 5 months in the US. In the education section in the study permit application (for masters in Canada), I mentioned the Bachelors degree but not the incomplete masters as my highest level of education, thinking this section only referred to completed degrees.
With EE, I have to mention the incomplete masters in personal history section. Does this account for misrepresentation? I plan on addressing it in a LOE anyways but who has been through something similar?

What did you do then with your application.Did you mention or notSorry, the lawyer said it SHOULDN'T be a problem. Mistyped there. That's why I decided to get the ECA for the master's and apply to express entry FSW.
If you got ECA, then it is true and will not misrepresent.I'm in a similar boat.

Misrepresentation is only for altered documents and “new” employment documents. Education documents with ECA is not considered misrepresentation
