NOC 8222 is still on the list of eligible occupations for FSW1 (at this time). If you can improve your IELTS score, you can apply again.

Otherwise, you are not currently eligible for PR as a student. After you complete 2 years of full-time study and 1 year of full-time employment, you may be eligible under the Canadian Experience Class (you still need a good IELTS score).

You may also look into your province's Provincial Nominee Program, some provinces have special programs for students who complete degrees in the province (usually, higher degrees like Masters and PhDs).
