I studied a bachelor of culinary arts in Thailand. Now I am doing an internship in the U.S., as a pastry cook, for a duration of 1 year, which will finish in November 2025. I want to work as a pastry cook in Canada. I don’t mind living in a regional or remote area. Is it possible? If possible, does any visa suit my case? And how long and how difficult is it to process the visa?

You need to find an employer with a LMIA or willing to pay for and go through the LMIA process. So you need to do a job search. A LMIA proves that no Canadian/PR can do the job and only you have the education/ECA, work experience and language skills. Then with LMIA you can apply for a closed work permit.
The process can take a long time if employer doesn't have a LMIA. Also if in an area of high unemployment (over 6%) then want it high wage (over $34/hr).
So if you want to move by November don't count on it. Good luck.

The difficult part will be finding an employer willing to go through the LMIA process. The LMIA and work permit processes also take months. It's not realistic to think you will have a work permit approved by Nov 2025.
Start by finding an employer willing to go through the process.
