Your best option would be to consider applying for a study permit, complete a 1 or 2 year course, then get a post graduate work permit for upto 3 years.

Otherwise you would need an employer to support an LMIA application showing that no citizen or resident is available for a particular job. This is is long involved/expensive process hence very few Canadian employers are willing to employ anyone from outside of Canada.

It doesn't make much sense for a fresh graduate to expect getting hired in Canada while being abroad, first you need to get employed in your field in Kenya and acquire experience, in the meantime what you can do is Familiarize yourself with the requirements of the express entry program and if you plan well, you may qualify to apply for immigration as a skilled worker in the next 3-5 years:
