Can I apply for Masters after completing one year of graduation?

I have 12 backlogs but completed under graduation in time with 7.0 CGPA. I want to apply for Masters with a good IELTS score to Canada or European countries. I have 2 research papers where one is published and the other one is under review.

Research papers should be in good journal and try to write more. Writing with professors and having their recommendations is very helpful and important.
