The process is the same for you as for anyone else - there is no special path for Americans. You would need to qualify for PR through an economic immigration program. You'll need to do research to understand Canada's various immigration programs and what it takes to qualify. Start reading here:

I don't understand I followed the profile and it looks to me they are seeking professional workers only I had been on Canada before so why so much request for moving to Canada?

Yes - Canada's immigration programs are generally geared towards professional workers - more specifically, young professional workers.

Ok so they should be more specific and let the people who are interested the this is only for young professional workers not for everyone thanks for your reply.

It's not only for young professional workers.

Programs are generally aimed at young professional workers.

However there are certainly options for others including those in trades and semi-skilled work.

If immigrating to Canada is a priority for you, there's really no shortcut to spending a great deal of time reading to understand Canada's immigration programs (with the exception of paying a lawyer $10K+ to do this work on your behalf).

Your friends are wrong and clearly don't understand Canada's immigration process.

Again, there are no special privileges because you hold PR in the US. If you want to be a permanent resident of Canada, you must apply for PR just like anyone else. You will follow the same process as anyone from any other country.

You can come to Canada temporarily as a visitor - but that's it.

Once again, if you want to become a Canadian PR, you have to apply for PR just like anyone else. You must apply through one of Canada's immigration programs like Express Entry or the Provincial Nominee Programs. There are no special privileges for Americans when it comes to PR. You have to apply just like anyone else from any other country.
