Hi! I don't have a post-secondary degree whatsoever, and my only work experience is working at a restaurant, which isn't skilled work. I have been running a very successful online business for a few yrs now, from which I make about $10k CAD/month so I have no money problems. how can I immigrate to canada?
no degree and real world work experience

Depends what the online business is. That online business might help you in qualifying or it might not.
There are quite a few entrepreneur/ business routes to residency mainly through the PNP (Provincial Nomininee Program) system. Most now require you to set up and run a business to an approved business plan and with a minimum level of investment (typically arround $150,000). Once the business is successfully established and you've run it for a few years the province will issues a Nomination certificate which you append to your PR application. Having the nomination certificate virtually guarantees subject to the normal background checks etc that your PR will be approved. It's not 'direct' PR but it's usually pretty fast and can put you on the ground in Canada in 12 months or less.
You have a much more conplicated history. You seem to have been off an on academic probation for years. What is your current status? How did you own and wprk on this business when it seems like you were on acadmic probation as early as summer 2019?
