"Normal" couple with a question

[epoch_analogy86]

Hello,
I do not believe I can qualify for PR status under any of the classifications, skilled worker, etc. I'm 23 and have just begun my educational career in the US. I would like to attend a university in Canada, earn my degree, and eventually become a citizen. I have no idea where to even start. I have no relatives in Canada and nobody to sponsor me. If I arrived to Canada under a student visa, how could I apply for PR after that? I would be moving to Canada with my common-law partner of 3 years, who also does not qualify for immigration under the classifications. It's just the two of us moving to a new country with nobody else. What should we do to obtain our dream of living, studying, and working permanently in Canada? Do we even have a chance?
Thanks in advance,
Claudia and Richard

It might be difficult as you would have to pay international student rates, which will run you about 18-20K per year. Also you will need living expenses. The starting point is www.cic.gc.ca all the information on applications is there.
