Given your age and the fact you have a son in Canada, it will probably be very difficult to convince CIC that you are a genuine student to get an approved study permit. CIC will probably correctly guess that you are just using the study permit as a means of getting to Canada. Having said that, you can certainly try - you may get lucky. You should go with a 2 year course rather than a 1 year since this will give you a longer post graduate work permit after you finish your studies (assuming you get an approved study permit) and increase the chances that you will qualify to apply for PR.
