Is it possible to change your FIELD of study while doing masters. (for eg. from IT to hotel management or journalism).And how much will it affect the chances of getting a PR?

As per IRCC,
  • You may change your school, program, field of study or level of study (e.g. from the Bachelor level to the Masters level) without applying for a new study permit. You do not need to apply for a change to the condition of your study permit, either. You may continue to use your study permit as long as it is valid. Get step-by-step instructions on how to notify IRCC that you have changed DLI’s using your account.

Depending on the program you will be applying for permanent residency, it may or may not affect your eligibility. I think Express Entry will give you points for post-secondary as long as you completed it in Canada.
