Two different countries and two different education systems so transferring credits depends on the university you attend. You need to talk to the university if they will allow to transfer credits. If you want to be a teacher, you don’t take an english language teaching course, you take a B.Ed.
Dear mentors!
U gave me valuable suggestions Everytime thanks for it!
If i go for the option of M. ED in Canada , will it be better than MA in linguistics?
Or even for M.ED i ll have to improve my IELTS score thanks

Do you have a B.Ed? Are you a teacher now? You need really good scores if taking a M.Ed. M.Ed are for teachers who want to become principals, directors or superintendents. Your IELTS scores are low for becoming a teacher.

You need to improve your IELTS score regardless of what Master's program you take.

when I mentioned other area, I mean ones that's NOT related as much to use of languages. (e.g. science researches, technology, logistics ...etc)
So I think you really need to improve your IETLS score and overall language skill.

If you want to teach, you may need to look into B Education instead of M Education.
Here is one of the universities that offers BEd's requirement:
To be eligible for the BEd degree, individuals must have completed a bachelor degree including relevant academic preparation. Applicants must also have volunteer or work experience in a group setting with children or youth, preferably at the age level you wish to teach.
Also want to add, it's not easy to find teaching jobs in Canada (speciall full time) unless you want to move to very remote areas.

You should re-write IELTS and achieve a higher score. IRCC generally does not want to see any individual scores below 6.5 if you are applying for a Master's. The 6 you have now weakens your profile.

Make sure you pick a top ranked school to attend.

If possible, it would be good for your father to show income generated from the farm property.

The fact you have a Canadian sibling living in Canada will weaken your application. There is nothing you can do about this.

If you have previous travel to countries requiring visas (e.g. US, UK), you will want to show evidence of this and this will strengthen your application.
Dear and honorable sir ! I have made mind to appear in IELTS exam one more time.. (as u know my bachelor is in English literature and linguistics with Major in linguistics)
For Master in Linguistics ( i need to get 6.5 in each module or 7 in each module) 7 will be a bit difficult ... So sir plz suggest me 6.5 in each module will be more than enough ( my current score in IELTS is (LRSW: 7.5,7,6.5,6)
AND ALSO LET ME KNOW WITH BACHELOR IN LINGUISTICS I SHOULD DO MA IN LINGUISTICS (OR) M. ED (OR) MASTER IN LEADERSHIP...
I LL BE APPLYING FOR JAN INTAKE..
THANKS IN ADVANCE

You need to get at least 6.5 in each module if you are going for a Master's. Higher is always better but at least 6.5 is fine.

I can't tell you what program to take in Canada. That's something you need to decide yourself.

As a couple of replies already, you cannot do M. ED unless you have gotten your B. ED.

"If you have previous travel to countries requiring visas (e.g. US, UK), you will want to show evidence of this and this will strengthen your application" Would be of much help if you could explain a bit ,how does this affect our application ? is this travel history of any relevance when applying for a Canada SP or Immigration ?
Thank you

No relevance to applying to immigrate.

Only relevant for temproary applications (work permit, study, visitor). For temp visas, IRCC prefers to see previous travel history to countries requiring visas. No travel history is a common refusal reason.
