Can you please let me know about MTech programs abroad and specifically options other than Italy in Australia/Canada for a MSc/Bachelor's?
Australia offers Master of Engineering or IT degrees at Melbourne, UNSW, and Monash for about 33,000 to 50,000 AUD yearly over two years, with a subclass 485 visa. Canada offers M.Eng or MASc at Waterloo and Alberta for 18,000 to 45,000 CAD yearly, with a 3 year PGWP.
Your MTech equivalent choice between Australia and Canada really comes down to budget versus program length, since both give you strong technical training and solid post study work rights. Australia's programs run a fuller two years at a higher cost, while Canada often finishes faster and cheaper.

My Advice
If your budget is closer to eighteen thousand CAD, start your shortlist with Waterloo or Alberta for a faster course based M.Eng; if you have a larger budget and want two full years of immersion, Melbourne or UNSW are strong Australian picks.
