Hi,
Canadian Study Permit: The decision on an application for a Canadian study permit will completely be based on one's individual application package. Usually good academic record ( especially marks of last major degree) , proper course selection (preferably showing progression in same field) consistent profile, sufficient proof of funding and a decent IELTS score is seen as a standard benchmark to get the Canadian study permit. There may be more requirements, depending upon the citizenship of one's country.
1. &
2. The medical field is highly regulated in Canada. To practice in Medical profession, international students or permanent residents with foreign degrees may take years before, they can convert the foreign MBBS (completing exams and getting residency) equivalent to that of a Canadian MBBS... and the process can be very expensive.. so, doing M.S/MD/PHd in direct Medical practicing field.... is out of question. I doubt if you may be eligible for direct admission to a Phd (medical or Biological sciences). You MAY be eligible for scientific research degrees at Master's level... in the wider spectrum of medical/biological sciences, provided if you have atleast 60-70% (depending upon universities) in final 2 years of your MBBS.. To find such research based Master's degree, you will have to go through all the official Canadian public university websites, and search for an appropriate research Master's degree in your area of interest. Here's the list of all recognized Canadian educational institutes ( Universities + Colleges) eligible for OCWP (Off campus Work Permit) and PGWP( Post Grad Work Permit), listed according to the Province:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/institutions/participants.asp
You should start contacting all the universities, whose research Master degrees may interest you and present your profile... and deeply research all your options.
Once, you select few appropriate Master degree's of your choice, shortlist say 6-7 universities, and get ready to apply for Sept. 2014 intake, for which last date can be anywhere between Nov 2013 to Feb 2014. The deadlines for Sept. 2013 are long over. Incase, you are not eligible for admission to a Master's degree, you may pursue certain medical field related practical diploma, I know of forum member, who went to pursue such practical diploma in Canada after BDS. You may search the colleges from the above list for appropriate medical related practical diplomas.
3. Either after pursuing Master's degree or some medical science related practical diploma, you will be eligible for a PGWP. Then you must usually find skilled job, and qualify under 1 of various student immigration programs. To know more about various student immigration programs in Canada for international students (see April 2013 update with official links; mid page 6):

4. You may get full funding, if admitted to a 2 years research based Master's degree, in a Canadian public university. On top you can earn by working part time (legally max. 20 hours/week) by applying for a OCWP (off Campus Work Permit) after 6 months of actual studying while studying any recognized course in any of the educational institute participating in OCWP. If you are pursuing a diploma with co-op/internship option, you may or may not even find a paid full time co-op job. To know more about Canadian study permit and many student work permits see:
www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study.asp
As a citizen of Pakistan, you will have to apply for visa as per the directives laid by High Commission of Canada to Pakistan. To know more:

5. As I said in points 1. & 2 , the initial research for finding list of appropriate courses by visiting all univ (for Master's degrees) or Colleges (for practical diplomas , if not eligible for Master's degree), is your work. Once you shortlist atleast 6 universities or 6 college practical diplomas, you may finally apply on your own or via a reputed consultancy.
6. All links are already provided. You need to clearly understand what I've said on points from 1 to 5, visit the official links and proceed accordingly. Additionally, you will have to do hours of personal research work and cross checking all rules and laws regarding course selection, studying and eventually immigrating to Canada. If you understand this, there should be no further questions and you should start your research to find appropriate course and apply for Sept 2014 intake (if Master's in university) or Sept 2013/2014 (if practical diploma in college).
Hope it helps.
