Your visitor visa/TRV does not give you any benefits nor a path to immigration
In order to work, you need a full time job offer from an employer in Canada and that employer must also obtain an approved LMIA. If your employer is able to get an approved LMIA, you can then apply for a closed work permit tied to that specific employer. The LMIA process is long (4-6 months) and expensive for the employer with no guarantee of approval. As a first step, the employer must advertise the job for at least a month to prove no Canadian could be found for the role. Because the LMIA process is so long and expensive with no guarantee of approved, it's generally extremely difficult to find employers willing to go through the process. If you want to remain in Canada, you should focus on qualifying and applying for PR. The link for Canada's PR programs has already been provided to you above.
As stated earlier, being here on a visitor visa gives you no advantages. You still have to go through the same process as anyone else if you want to live and work in Canada.
You cannot work or stay indefinitely on a visitor visa/TRV. It is illegal.
As for a WP, it's practically impossible/very difficult. You would need to find an employer who is willing to hire you.... and will then go through the LMIA process to prove that no Canadian is available for the job before you can apply for a WP
Let’s put it this way. Even if you intend to acquire PR through legal means, if you tell the CBSA officer at the Canadian airport that you will do so while on a visitor visa, pretty sure the officer will put you on the next flight back home.
In that case, you're back to the immigration planning board (Post #1) in this thread
