Without paid work experience - your only option at this time for moving to Canada is a study permit.

I have paid work experience of 4yrs in US and finished my masters in US.
I am planning to move to canada but as my university does not fall under regional accreditation WES is not considering my masters degree valid.
Even though i have 4 years work experience i am still not eligible in express entry.
So i am applying for student visa currently.
Is there a way i can get work permit instead of student visa?

I would check in WES website.
Else call WES and ask them about canadian equivalent for your university.
Which univ did you go to let me know. Incase i have idea i can tell you.
