If you can find an employer who is willing to give you a full time job and also obtain an approved LMIA, then you can apply for a work permit. Note that it tends to be extremely difficult to find an employer willing to go through the LMIA process.

Another option would be to apply for PR. Canada has many different immigration programs. You will have to investigated them to understand what it takes to qualify and if you can apply: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/apply.asp
