I think it will be close Zero. 
Media and entertainment are as coveted as it gets usually. These are high profile and high-network touch jobs/opportunities unless you are doing something technical. It is still networking however.... but if you are coming from another country/background and don't have a network and need time to find your footing and don't have an amazing resume it will be very hard. I can relate having lived in LA and seeing people trying to break into Media and Entertainment and acting there... every waiter was an aspiring actor basically who never made it. It is sad but they had a dream and wanted to give it their best. They knew their chances and I respect them for that. You can also try at it but if you are going to borrow a bunch of money, you need to be realistic about how you will pay it back.

Well, I agree with BB upon the difficulties faced by people while breaking into media and entertainment industry. Even if it's marketing or communication function of media industry, getting job is quiet a daunting task. 
However, being an IT professional, if you could align your tech skills with marketing or Communication for that matters, it will definitely give you a good results. Every industry is demanding a professional with tech skills, so core function+tech skill can land you a good position.
But, but, but. Since you gave example of Schulich School and want to enter into media sector. I would say, go for the school or the country which actually aligns with media sector. Canada might be a good place for media industry, but the most known companies and opportunities in media sector are in either US or UK. So maybe studying in one of these countries might be more helpful.
