It is not recommended to apply for both master's and PG diploma programs at the same time. Doing so can create confusion about your study intentions and may negatively impact your study permit application, as visa officers may question your clarity of purpose.

Focus your applications on master's programs that match your academic background and career goals. This shows a clear, consistent plan and improves your chances of admission and visa approval.

If you do not receive offers from master's programs, you can consider PG diploma options as a backup.
