By the way in Canada the government doest even give anyone Health Insurance for spending just three months in Canada and doenst simply give a whole lot of benefits for thetemporary visitors to Canada. The government doesnt give you SIN # (something very similar to Social Security # in the US) unless you are a student or legally allowed to work or a legal permanent resident of Canada or a Canadian citizen. By the way, it takes at least 7 months up to 2 years to complete the legal process to immigrate to Canada from the date a person starts the paper work of immigrating to Canada and only 10% of almost 2,30,000 people who immigrated to Canada last year applied from within Canada. Nornally the immigrants apply for Permanent Residentship from outside Canada and gets permenant residentship before they arrive in Canada . I dont know how the heck it would have been possible to immigrate to Canada in just three months of time you had and the other important thing is that there are very limited options to immigrate to Canada by applying in-land (meaning by applying while someone is in Canada).
