Yes you're eligible to apply for a study permit.
What course ? You can do another certificate or diploma in your preferred field in a college or vocational school. Here is a complete list of all colleges and vocational schools in Canada:

Does age matters ? No, I know people in their thirties who managed to get their study permit, however you will be required to convince the visa officer that you are a genuine student which means explaining why the program you applied for is a good addition to what you already have and how it can help you with your career and future plans in your home country, you don't want the visa officer to think that you're gonna stay in Canada after you finish studies.
Apply from Australia or India ? Better apply from your home country, applying from any country other than your home country will probably make the visa officer refuse your visa because of weak ties to home country as you already staying in a country which is not yours. Again, there are many people who applied from a country other than their home country and got visas.
Tuition fees ? They vary depending on program and level of study, they can be from $8000 to $16,000 a year or even more, you gotta do some research.
Fees ? You will be required to pay an application fee to each college you're applying for, usually between $50 and $100.
Proof of financial support ? If you will be coming alone, you need to show tuition fees for one year plus $10,000 for living expenses. If you intend to bring your family with you, you need to show $4,000 for the first member and $3,000 for each additional family member. Yes, any third party can show the money but you will be required to have a letter from the person providing you with this money.
GOOD LUCK.
