Moving to Canada permanently

Hello,

I am writing this post with hopes that some of you may be able to offer some help. I want to move to Canada and live there permanently and I need help with the steps and procedure. I keep hearing that immigration is now made easier since Canada has become liberal.

I'll begin with a short introduction about me. I was born in Saudi Arabia, I hold a Saudi passport. I have traveled to Canada to study and stayed there for almost 5 years - mainly in Montreal. I speak English fluently, French not so much but I can ask where the restroom is. I do not hold an academic degree, I have a high school diploma, work currently as a freelance graphic designer and actively seeking a job. I have some work experience, but not enough to grab attention from companies that are welling to bring workers from abroad. I'm 28, male, married with no children yet.

I want to immigrate because I'm tired of living in Saudi Arabia; the rules are too strict, I'm not allowed to speak my mind, work opportunities are too rare, there's no support of any kind at all and my people (Shia'as) are being targeted by a terrorist organization (ISIS). I might as well live in captivity. I'm too reluctant to have kids because I cannot deal with all of this, and I do not want my children to have to experience and deal with this pain and shitty lifestyle. I doubt that this qualifies me as a refugee, but I need to find a way to move to Canada; for the sake of my wife and my unborn children.

I need help, please.
