immigrating as reitree

[orlyr21]

Hello, I' am from the U.S. and was wondering what category I should apply under if I just want to move to Canada for leisure purposes. I will be retiring soon and wont be eligible for the worker immigration category, and neither do I have family living in Canada so I cannot apply for the Family sponsorship category. 

Canada is such a beautiful country and I would love to live out the remainder of my life there. Thank you for your help in advance

How about as an investor?

There really isn't anything under immigration for what you want to do. You need to be going in one of the employment categories. Otherwise, on your American passport you can spend up to 6 months out of the year up here but can't work or qualify for healthcare, etc.
