To my knowledge there are no categories general and special. You can look at the immigration website at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp

You can apply as a skilled worker, the rules are currently changing and the processing times is supposed to get faster. It has been taking up to 6-7 years to do this application from India, faster in some other countries but with the new rules should be faster if you qualify. Gives you permanent residency right away.

Another way is to find a job and get in on a temporary work permit and apply for permanent residency later.
