Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
In order to immigrate under the skilled worker program, you will need a job offer unless you have at least 1 year continuous work experience in one of the chosen 29 occupations, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp#list You also have to get at least 67 points on the self assessment.

To get a temporary work permit, you also need a job offer and a labour market opinion accepted before you can apply for one. If you want to try for a student visa, you need to have been accepted by a university or college and you need to show that you have enough money to pay your tuition and survive for the first year. Whether you come to Canada on a work permit or study visa, there will be other options for you to immigrate later, for example provincial nominee programs or Canadian experience class.

Just go to the official www.cic.gc.ca - there you will find all the initial information you need at this stage...

Student visa is good option for you, look for your related professional course in Humber College, I am going to Humber College next week and will try to find about a course for you.
Your application must fall under SPP to succeed.There are 39 colleges under SPP.
I dont think you will be eligible for any sort of work permit.
