Assuming you don’t want to spend your entire time in Canada as an illegal alien (a way of life that truly sucks, let me assure you), what you want is “landed immigrant” status, the equivalent of “permanent resident” status in the U.S. (no, “landed immigrant” doesn’t mean you have to own any land).

Actually, there’s no longer “landed immigrant” status in Canada; it’s called “permanent resident” status, same as in the U.S.
