I am hoping to travel to Canada on a 2 month visit in the near future with the idea of a permanent position in a professional job for the last years before retiring. Taking in mind that I would be working part time after my official retirement age. What hope do I have for a 60 plus man wanting to move from my home country, England, to live my life out somewhere in Canada?

Unfortunately the short answer is that it's likely not feasible based on your age. - however you can certainly give it a shot To move her permanently, you'll need to qualify to immigrate through one of Canada's economic immigration programs which are geared towards young workers. Generally speaking, these programs are points based (those with the most points are selected). Points are awareded based on work experience, age, level of education, and other factors. You will lose very significant points due to your age which will likely make it difficult to qualify. To assess your chances, I would recommend you research the Express Entry program to determine how many points you have and the feasibility of being selected. Right now you need to have 450+ points to have a chance at PR. Details here:

If you want to instead temporarily work and live in Canada - that's quite an involved process as well. You'll need to start by finding an employer who is willing to offer you a full time job in Canada - that employer will then have to obtain an approved LMIA before you can qualify for a work permit. The LMIA process is very long and expensive for the employer and requires them to prove no Canadian could be found for the role. It's generally extremely difficult to find employers willing to go through this process.
 
You didnt say if u were married given if not given even finding a full time job sponsor will be very difficult but maybe find a Canadian wife and get sponsored
