Canada works with a point system when you apply for immigration. Age, kids, language, education, profession all play a role in the process. A little easier if you know some basic French, because Quebec really values french-speaking immigrants and gives a lot of points for that. It's a lengthy process for proper immigration but getting a school visa or something like that is easier.
Not elizabeth, but that's the visa I had when I moved to Canada from Russia a few years back. Went through middle/high school with it before getting my PR and citizenship. Looking at this website, it seems like the student visa also extends to university/post-secondary education, although be warned, you'd have to pay two to three times as much compared to someone with their permanent residence/citizenship documents (for my program that would mean around $20 000-25 000 versus the $8000 I'm paying right now).
