I think you do have a good chance depending upon:
1. Statement or intent.. why the masters
2. The course you select
3. Finance and strong ties... U need to convince u will come back to India after the course
4. IELTS seems ok ... 7 -8 would be easy. But be prepared to give IELTS again based on college requirements or if any band is less than 6 ( see CiC official website for ielts min. scores for masters.

I am from digital marketing 10 yrs almost. Sr. Mgr level. I chose MGM at RRU as that's my next step to leadership role in global companies.

Your course needs to be very strong. See what interests you and what will help you in the long run

Thanks for the information but someone told me that there are two types of ways to get visa.

1. SDS
2. General

So i need to understand about both of the processes. Advantages and disadvantages.

SDS is just to streamline the application for four countries by requiring less financial documents. Under SDS, you only need to provide 1 year tuition receipt and a GIC of CAD10k as financial proof. The rest of the documents required are the same as through general stream.

PGWP? Nope, that is incorrect. SDS or General stream does not affect your PGWP chances. as long as you comply the requirements, you will get your PGWP.
