I am 50 years old and I came to Canada as a tourist. If I become an international student studying ECE and work full time for a while, can I apply for pr?

You cannot work full time while you study.

First of all, you would need to obtain a study permit and be accepted into a full time program that's at least 8 months long. You'll need to pay international student fees. While you study, you can work up to 20 hours a week. However none of this work experience can be counted towards applying for PR. Once you finish your studies, you will qualify for a post graduate work permit that is the length of your program of study. This work experience can be counted towards PR.

It's really not possible for any of us to say if you will qualify for PR after studying and working in Canada. That will depend on whether you meet the program requirements and/or have enough points to be selected. Recommend you start by researching the Express Entry immigration program. Right now you need to have 440 or more points to be selected for PR.

Thanks.
Will a diploma program ensure a full time job for Early childhood education in Canada? I am wondering if my age is going to play as a negative factor.

No - the diploma won't ensure a full time job in early childhood education.
 
Could you tell me what kind of program I can study in order to get a full-time job in Canada?

There's no program you can study that will guarantee you'll end up with a full time job in Canada afterwards. There's always some risk in coming to Canada as a student.
