Re: How to make sure I'm eligible?
If you can afford it then perhaps applying for a study permit and gaining degrees for your line of work might be the way to go then applying for work permits and PR after you have completed your studies.
Canada does not always accept another countries credentials and many have found they need to take tests to have them recognized.
By studying here you will learn more about Canada and be able to make a wiser choice on where to settle.
There is nothing wrong with Manitoba (piss taking aside). Id sooner get a decent job in Manitoba and stay rather than being unemployed and chasing the dream say in Vancouver, Calgary or Toronto where jobs might be harder to find.

If you want a Masters or Ph.D I would suggest doing them here, they will ask you to have them accredited here anyway (which is a cost and a hassle).
In my role I recruit for counsellors and psychologists and they need Canadian degrees and be registered with the relevant Province's governing body (which is why you'll need any non Canadian degree to be accredited).

Many jobs, including medical, paramedical and education roles here are controlled by the government and you have to have your qualifications approved by the Province.
The protectionist attitude to all foreign workers and their qualifications in Canada (and that extends even to other Provinces, so beware of that!) means that any courses you have done will be judged below the standard of Canadian-gained courses, although IMHO this is not justified at all.
You will probably end up doing as much study here afterwards to get accreditation, and paying as much for it, as if you had just done the degree in Canada in the first place.

(I don't know if you get notified about this post if I don't quote you all, but it's okay)
If I were to start up a business, like a coffee shop or cake shop or something along those lines, and employed people (possibly majority Canadian), would I get a better chance of permanent residence? And in Montreal, would this not be good if I don't have like a degree in French?
