1. It depends on the school whether it is in this list. : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/institutions/participants.asp#ns
2. If it is, and you have reasonable marks, you can apply for an office campus work permit after 6 months which allows you to work part time during the school year, and full time during breaks.
3. If you graduate and get a skilled job after graduation, you can apply under PNP Nova Scotia after 3 months. http://novascotiaimmigration.ca/immigrants/immigrating-to-ns/international-graduate
