Yes, you are eligible to apply for scholarships for your master's in Canada with your four-year bachelor's degree and 48 months of work experience. However, your chances depend on several factors:

- Academic performance: Most scholarships require a strong undergraduate GPA; your 57.68% may limit options, as some programs look for a first-class average.
- Application strength: A compelling statement of purpose (SOP) and strong letters of recommendation (LORs) can improve your chances.
- Work experience: Your professional background can help, especially for scholarships valuing leadership or community engagement.
- IELTS score: A competitive IELTS score is essential; most scholarships expect at least 6.5 overall.

Scholarship selection is competitive and criteria vary by program.
