To qualify for a work permit, you need to find an employer in Canada first. To hire you, that employer has to prove they couldn't find a Canadian for the job. It will likely be next to impossible for you to find an employer willing to hire you given your age and lack of education/experience.

I don't believe you're eligible to visit and work in Canada by yourself at age 17. You can take the self assessment here:
