First of all, thank you for response.
I talked with IDP, they are saying I have very slim chances of getting a good University as my percentage is very less and on other side you people are saying I can even get mcGill. I am very confused. Can somebody clear my confusion.

As far as I know Computer Engineering department is very famous in Concordia. You have good chance to get there. My score is 67% in bachelor and got offer from there in MEng in Industrial Engineering for winter 2021. Also they have good acceptance rate. Search google by your desired degree, course curriculam, admission criteria etc. You will get an overall idea which university you should go for. Make a priority list. Apply to mid-ranking universities. Note that if you want to MASC or research based you have to convince the professor first. If you are self funded go for MEng. Thanks

Master's degree programs related to computers/IT are very competitive. Even in middle ranked university, the competition is huge. Try to apply to some middle ranked and low ranked universities besides the top ones.

There is no harm in applying to good Universities like McGill or McMaster but IDP is correct when they said about your % in undergraduate degree. There are many applicants with 80+ % in Computer/IT related undergrad. degrees in India and that is why it is very competitive.
Even back in 2013 when I applied with 76% with 3 yrs of exp., I got rejections from Carleton and McMaster.

Don't lose hope, try Dalhousie (competitive) and Univ. of Manitoba. Check out Simon Fraser University as well. Otherwise you can look for Technical Colleges (not the regular ones like Humber or Centennial).

All the best !
