Visa for second master's in Canada
- Thread starter Rockyrock
- Start date
Bundle of thanks Johnsnow 007,
Just out of curiosity , since you have plenty of information about studying in Canada, are you presently studying in Canada or you are just an applicant like me ?
Am a prospective applicant, have been rejected twice due to bad agents before coming across this forum..
All the best for your application ! I hope we could meet some day. Sorry , I need your advice once again on the following:
They might also question about why I am not applying for a PhD in transport engineering or civil engineering , since my bachelor's is in civil and master's is in transport engineering( geomatics engineering and transport are parts of civil engineering) . Do you think that it is a good reason : "I got interested in geomatics engineering after attending a course-work called GIS during my master's program in Japan. During the coursework, we used GIS , for instance, to find out the shortest path on a road network , finding the nearest metro station from our university by using spatial analysis, and mapping a location with the most elderly population. I , therefore, liked the application of GIS in transport engineering and decided to become specialist in it. The only way to become specialist in it is by conducting research , and applying for the second master's in geomatics engineering which is a stepping stone for PhD in geomatics engineering.My final goal would be to work in academia".
..just link both courses together by giving a clear explanation on how they are connected on your SOP, and if possible list some course(s) you've offered that relates to your Bsc, Msc, and your prospect 2nd Msc and don't forget to state that you wanting to be an academia, research base course is important in order to be able to do your PhD which wasn't don't in your 1st Msc but just Thesis alone.. and that's why you decided to go for a second MSC
Good luck bro
Good luck bro
Thank you so much
You have , once again, mentioned some vital points in order to showcase the progression of studies. For instance, I have to link my 1st masters in Transport engineering with 2nd master's in geomatics engineering, and illustrate that how geomatics engineering could be used to solve research related issues in transport field. Furthermore, you pointed out that I could also illustrate this progression by linking some subjects from my Bsc, 1st msc, up to prospective 2nd msc. For instance, in 1st master's , I studied a course called "urban planning" , and in 2nd master's , I would study a course called "geomatics engineering for urban planning" , and describe in my SOP that how they are interrelated. Please , correct me if I am wrong.
I would , certainly, not forget to pinpoint that I would like to be an academia. Actually, during my 1st masters ,it was research based ( I conducted a unique research) , research was conducted in transport engineering and geomatics engineering was not used as a tool to solve the issue. However, in order to get into PhD. in geomatics engineering, prior research experience is required in Geomatics engineering field ( I have prior research in transport engineering not geomatics). Therefore, I can not directly apply to a PhD. course.

..yes, just try to convince the VO that Transport Eng and Geo are similar courses by using Urban Planning(if possible look for one other related course if not more, remember, the aim here is to convince the VO so not to refuse you for course irrelevance to studies or work history) as a course to show how they interrelate
..secondly, you can say your 2nd Msc is both Thesis and Research base(which is very relevenat to become a good academia) unlike your 1st Msc which is only research base but first if you saying this, you have to confirm the eligibility of it from your prospect DLI to avoid it been a fraudulent document
..or due to an opening and possible offer of becoming an academia, you need the 2nd Msc to lecture in Geo ( since you said your friend runs a privately owned University, you can approach him for an offer letter an evidence to explain your case

YES. I will use your mentioned guidance to show that transport engineering and geomatics are interrelated ( they are not similar ,though ,because geomatics is used to solve complex problems in transport engineering by using information technology, hence, it is a tool for solving research related problems in Transport field and many other fields too even in business and some social science related fields).
My 1st masters was thesis and research base too ,sorry, if I confused you. I conducted research and wrote a thesis and defended it. I really love your second idea about an opening and possible offer of becoming an academia in order to deliver lecture in geomatics. I will state in my SOP that I would like to study 2nd master's followed by the PhD in order to lecture in geomatics , which would equip me with the knowledge and expertise to be a lecture at X university from which I already have an offer to teach geomatics once I complete my studies.
Yesterday , actually, I contacted my friend , and found out that he has shut down his university one year ago which is very unfortunate. If I am not able to get an offer letter from a university, what do you reckon If I say " because I liked the geomatics course-work during my first master's degree , and the fact that there are few or no "geomatics engineering lecturers" at the civil engineering department of Kabul University , I really got motivated to realize my dream of becoming an academia and decided to study PhD in geomatics. However, in order to get accepted into (PhD)geomatics program, I need to have research experience in geomatics during my master's degree which , unfortunately I do not have. Therefore, 2nd master's in geomatics engineering is a stepping stone in order to get admitted into PhD program in geomatics which would lead me to become an academia and fill in the gap at the civil engineering department of Kabul University.

.an offer letter would have been best because it also show your ties to home country which is also important in study permit app.
but no too much worries though.. your recent write up about your intentions of becoming an academia is clearly okay, work on it with brevity
keep your fingers cross and pray, as some people has had a worse case than yours but still got approved (with a good written SOP etc)

Thank you very much
for your thorough guidance and patience . I have noted all the points you have mentioned in this thread and I will include these points in my SOP, and will let you know the final version of it , once , it is completed. I am waiting for the decision of New Brunswick University, I have submitted my application on 1st of March.
We try to help each other on this forum and I am glad to always help.. good luck bro
Thank you bro !
I just remembered that we have a small business in northern part of Afghanistan , and it is a LPG gas station( worth 40,000 USD). In your opinion , is it enough if the company provides a letter with it's stamp stating that I am the co-owner of the LPG gas station? Will it be a good proof of home ties plus the apartment in Afghanistan?
