First find a university through their websites http://www.uwaterloo.ca/canu/
Then see what scholarships are available for foreign students.
No one is going to hand you a scholarship on a silver platter.

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to when you say "meeting a visa officer" - do you mean the Immigration Officers at the Port of Entry/Landing or are you making an appointment at a consulate?

If it's the IOs you are referring to they want to see that you are entering Canada for legal purposes, that you have any appropriate paperwork that you may require and that you have sufficient funds for your stay. They also want to see evidence that you will leave Canada at the end of your visa. Even if you have a visa in your hands it is totally at the discretion of the IO to allow you entry - if they have any doubts about your intentions they can reject you so you must be prepared to prove your situation.

As for applying for a student visa the instructions say to apply at the consulate closest to where you live. The processing times are much the same for the two offices.
