You have to qualify and apply for PR through one of Canada's immigration programs. Being in Canada as a visitor doesn't give you any advantages in this regard and doesn't provide you with a path to PR. You have to apply and qualify using the same processes as someone would from outside of Canada. Details below. Recommend you start by researching the Express Entry program.

Thank you Scylla, I have studied the link and considering explore the vocational programs instead, if I complete a vocational program in a career college, can I work legally upon completion and get a PR?

Whether you will be able to work or not after you complete your studies will depend on what school you attend. You can find a complete list of schools in the link below. You will want to attend one that qualifies for a Post Graduate Work Permit.

Whether you then qualify for PR will depend on whether you meet the requirements of one of Canada's PR programs.
