You have to apply just like anyone else. To get a work permit you need to secure a full time job offer in Canada and the employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA. To immigrate, you'll need to spend time researching Canada's immigration programs to see what it takes to qualify: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html
