If you want to go to your "dream country" and your occupation is not on the list, then your 2 options are Federal Skilled Worker Category 2 or Provincial Nomination
My advice is for you to obtain whatever travel visa is needed and try to get a 2/3 week holiday in Canada. Prior to going over you can then try to arrange interviews - be prepared to telephone companies because they tend to prefer direct contact on the phone rather than email, although email and online applications should be used as well.
If you can get a job offer then either you can apply for Provincial Nomination (in which case the province sponsors your residency) - but do check which skills are needed for the desired province, and they may have their own rules on qualifications and relatives etc. Provincial Nomination is not an area of expertise for me so perhaps others can comment on this more?
Or you can get the company offering you the job to apply for an LMO (Labour Market Opinion). For this they need to prove they have been advertising the job for 2 weeks during the past 3 months without a suitable Canadian being found for the post. Once they have an LMO you can then obtain a temporary work permit, and apply for residency under Federal Skilled Worker Category 2.
Either way is possible - it is just going to involve some investment of time and effort on your part.
Best of luck,
Wayne.
