No. If you want to get a work permit, you need a job offer and LMIA. The employer has to file and pay for a LMIA and prove no Canadian or PR can do the job. Only you have the skills, education to do the job. Then you apply for a closed work permit. If you want to immigrate then look at Express Entry and PNP based on age, education, skills, language and funds. There is no easy way.

can i apply to both express entry and pnp at the same time? i know theres a program for every province, so is it possible to apply to all of those at the same time as well to better up my chances?

Are you eligible for EE with at least 67 points? Research each PNP because you probably are only eligible for a couple. Some are not through EE and most require a job offer. PNPs are based on NOCs and CRS/PNP scores. So research the draw sheets and see if your NOC and score are selected.

i did this assessment tool and got 700 points
https://www.canadavisa.com/comprehensive-ranking-score-calculator/results.html

does having an unpaid intership outside of canada be considered as work experience?
also lets say i work in web dev in morocco, but my bachelor degree is in economics, if i somehow found a job in canada one day in web dev, will it be an issue when it comes to paper work since its an unrelated field to my degree?
Work experience must be paid

First you need to calculate if you are eligible with selection points score (need 67)? Not sure how you got 700 points based on your age, ECA, language scores, work experience. Seems way too high. You don’t count points for any job offers or PNP nomination. Unpaid experience is not counted. Once PR, you can work in whatever field you want.

Is quite challenging to come to study and switch to a WP partway through your studies so I wouldn’t arrive unless you will be happy completing your studies.

Agree that the CRS score is very high. What is your profile? Are you fluent in French? Sounds like your work experience may also be unrelated to your degree which also will be problematic for many programs.

Still seems way to high without Canadian education, Work experience or job offer. What kind of paid work history do you have in the past 5 years and is it your field of study?

If you have no work experience then you are not even eligible for EE. You need at least a year of continious, skilled work experience. TEOFL not even accepted. What does your ECA say for degree? No way you can have 700 points even being fluent and having sister in Canada. You seem to be getting points for nomination or job offer. You need to calculate your selection score first, and you will not be eligible. What is your selection/eligibility score?

Something is not right in your CRS Score calculation. 700 is way too higher for a person with no skilled experience

You've calculated your points incorrectly. You don't have 700 points.
