It is better to go for a PHD but big problem is your grades of 2.2 is what I am reading from your quote. Switching to a masters as you seem to imply comes with complications, as the VO might deny you a visa, questioning your purpose of study because of a lack of progression. A student who has already earned a masters degree going for a second masters degree is one of the ways VOs use to determine who is a genuine student from who is simply using the student visa route as a means of facilitating entry to Canada. You might want to try to explain why a second masters is necessary, but that is Herculean task to succeed with. It is not impossible however. With a 2.2 it is almost impossible to get into a PHD program. Never seen it. The cards are stacked against you in every corner except your masters GPA is very strong, then there is hope.

thanks for your response however what exactly do you suggest, tell me exactly what you think I can do, pls tell me steps n how to go about them. Thank n God bless
