Hi Deepanshu,
If your long term goal is to apply for PR, then plan for countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany etc. They are also good for your field. Remember that there is no guarantee of getting a job, it will boil down to your own academic performance, networks, university reputation, industrial tie-ups of the university and so on. And PR also won't happen immediately. You have to work for few years and gradually you can apply. For now you should focus on getting a good and reputed university for your studies and improve your credentials and skills.

Hi Vikas,
Both are very lucrative and rewarding fields. You should figure out your area of interest and choose a field for yourself. If reporting, anchoring, camera, editing, etc., interests you then journalism is the best option for you. If creativity, advertising designing, ideation and conceptualization, copywriting, etc., interests you, advertising is a great option.
