i am 46 and a school principal with over 15 years of teaching experience, what category do i belong to? can i migrate to canada as a skilled worker?
 
There's no legal bar, but your age will make it very difficult to get enough points to migrate. You are probably eligible under Federal Skilled Worker, but unless you can get 450+ points, you won't really have much of a chance.

You can check your eligibility here - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...me-canada-tool-immigration-express-entry.html

This is probably going to tell you that you're eligible. However, the next step is to check your CRS points (assuming you are eligible). You can do that here -

If you have more than 450 points, you have a very good chance. However, you are likely to have a score that's in the 330-360 range, and that's much too low.

If you're married and your spouse is younger, you can see if they get more points.
 
The other way of migrating is via a job offer. If you can get a job as a principal in Canada, you can get 50 more points and that may be enough to qualify. You can come here and work even without migrating as a PR.

However, I have no idea whether it's possible for you to get a job here. I suppose that depends entirely on you - where you are currently, your experience, potential contacts in Canada, etc.

Principal roles are very difficult to secure (tons of competition - very few roles). I don't see how it would be feasible to get a job offer as a foreign worker which would require an approved LMIA. IMO there's zero chance an LMIA would ever be approved for a school principal since the Canadian recruitment requirement could never be met.
