It depends. Your BTech in Information Technology, 57.68% graduation score, and 48 months of work experience mean you may be eligible for some master's programs in Canada, but direct admission will be challenging. Most universities require a minimum of 60 - 65% in undergraduate studies.

Your extensive work experience can help - some universities consider this as a compensatory factor for lower academic scores and may offer conditional admission or preparatory programs.

To improve your chances:
- Make sure you meet English language requirements (typically IELTS 6.5 overall, no band below 6.0).
- Target programs that value professional experience or offer alternative admission pathways.
- Highlight your work experience and skills in your application materials.
