References from same program

Hello, everyone.

I'll be applying for psychology MA programs in Canada to start in the fall term 2021. My application is mostly ready, but I have some concerns related to my LORs. I have 3 years of clinical internship experience and 2 years of research experience as a undergrad RA. Both experiences were under the same professor's supervision. Would it be acceptable for me to get a LOR from the PhD student whose research I assisted? Most programs I'll be applying for ask for 3 LORs, but I don't have any other professors who I've been close enough to ask for recommendations. As I'm also a biotechnology technician and I have worked on laboratories for years would it be fine to get a recommendation from a professional supervisor? I'm working on a covid-19 analysis center, so perhaps it would be a good addition for my letters.

I really don't know the best approach on this matter and I need to decide it soon, as the letters need to start being written as soon as possible. Any help would be appreciated!

What kind of psych programs are you applying to? Are they research or clinically oriented? What are your goals?
