Hello, I moved from Croatia in May 2017 on a working holiday visa. I've been working 2 jobs at The Home Depot and Tim Horton's. I would like to stay in Canada and go to collage part time while working full time. I was wondering what my options were and how good my chances are as I'm not well informed. Any help is wellcome. Thank you in advance, Blanka

There aren't any options for studying in college part time while working full time.
You could study full time and work part time (up to 20 hours per week). If you want to study full time, you would first apply and be admitted to a college program - then you would apply for a study permit.

It isn't that easy. You need a job offer from en employer with a positive LMIA. As the LMIA process costs $1000, takes months to process and has extremely strict requirements, pretty much no employer is willing to go through it.
You want to attend a public college. Avoid private colleges - you won't qualify for a post graduate work permit once you're done. Take a two year program (rather than one year) so that you can qualify for a three year PGWP.
For the study permit to be approved, the program you plan to take in Canada must make sense in light of your previous education and work experience.
