I was brought to America by my parents under my mothers student visa. She couldn’t afford to pay it in around 2012 and dropped out & decided to stay. I am 19 & just found out. Is there anything I can apply for even though I technically over stayed my visa even though I was 05 when I got here ?

Are you asking about Canada or the US? If you are asking about the US, you need to post this question to a US immigration forum. This forum is for questions about Canada.

If you are asking about Canada, any sort of temproary visa (including a visitor visa, study permit and work permit) will be refused due to your status in the US and the length of time you have been there without status. The only option would be to apply to immigrate through an economic immigration stream like Express Entry. However this won't be possible at your age. You'll need to wait a number of years to complete more schooling, get full time skilled work experience, etc. before you may have a chance of qualifying.
