Someone I know recently got his PGDM degree evaluated by WES. To answer your question, the one-year PGDM diploma is not considered a master’s. My friend completed his Executive PGDM with Business Analytics as a specialization. Canada’s equivalent report for his degree is as follows. You can find the specification here and proceed accordingly.
You can get your postgraduate degree evaluated by WES or IAQS. Hope this was helpful.
