1. Probably not doable.
2. As a US citizen, you probably would be able to get a 6 month visitor's entry, as long as you are able to prove that you can support yourself without working.
3. To live permanently, you would have to apply outside Canada (your case Buffalo) for permanent residence. Unless you have a Canadian spouse it would be under the skilled worker category. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp read the instructions and take the assessment.
