You may be able to count freelance experience if it is documented sufficiently (tax records, correspondence between you and your clients, letters from them attesting to what you did for them, etc.) However, if you were employed by a regular company it might be easier if that work meets the minimum requirements (at least one year, continuous, full-time, and skilled).

Your main issues are age (you lose five points every year past 30) and your IELTS scores. Since you can't change your age you should focus on studying English more and retaking the IELTS to raise your score.

Can I do any advanced diploma course for two years in computer science or information technology?

Will my visa be rejected?

As somebody had mentioned, you could try and document your experience to qualify for the minimum one year experience needed to be eligible for the federal Express entry. What you can also try and do is secure a regular job and complete a year and fulfil the eligibility criteria while preparing for IELTS and better your score. You already have two master's degree, so do get the ECA assessment process kick-started.
It's quite a long process, do go through the threads in this forum and also the official IRCC website. Have hope and spirit and you shall succeed.
Good luck

Since you already have two master's degrees, probably.
