I don't think it's possible to receive 2 academic probaitions in one year because you get on probation at the end of the school year in May when your final grades are finalized. It should say something like "May not continue" in your grade report on mugsi.
Also if you receive academic probation at mcmaster you can't just go to another school, they will not let you in their program if they see you are not eligible to continue in your program (here at mac).
You can try applying for reinstatement, I think the deadline is end of June. Talk with your academic advisor about applying for reinstatement, he/she will give you all the info that you need.

You may be on program probation only once" according to this link:

You should really contact an academic adviser though, you never know.

No, if you're put on probation you aren't kicked out and therefore wouldn't apply for reinstatement. You have a year to get your grades up before they'll kick you out.
But yeah, you can't be on probation twice in one year.

Ooops true, "may not continue" is when your gpa is below 3 at the end of the year.
