1st of all..for admission to ANY Master's programme in MOST of the publicly funded Canadian universities..one will need an atleast 4 years Bachelor's degree, with minimum 60-70% marks.
2ndly.. Even if the applicant has a 4 years degree (other than Economics.. or a degree where Ug level Economics/Maths was not studied... it is highly unlikely, for that applicant to get admission to a Master's in Economics degree. Even for entry to PG diploma in economics programme at any Univeristy, one needs a 4 years Bachelor's degree in Economics or related subjects with a first class marks.
For example: check Univ. of Sask Economics graduate programme eligibility (PGD/Master's).

They only accept students form other degree such as (BA/BCOM/BSC) with 75% marks... only in the MDE 2 years programme..which is interdisciplinary in nature. You should note that in Canada, all BA/B COM/BSC etc. UG degrees are of 4 years duration.
And hence, again..I state..those with 3 years degrees from countries of Indian subcontinent.. will not be eligible to apply for most of the recognized Master degree programmes of publicly funded Canadian universities.
