Canada does not presently have provisions which allow for immigration on the basis of retirement. Other than the Family Class, the only program which might allow for such is the immigrant investor program. Depending on the qualifications of yourself or your spouse, however, it may be possible to qualify in one of the independent programs.
Alternatively you may seek admission as a visitor, and renew and/or extend such repeatedly. This is risky, however.
