Get a passport first and then yea sure if you can. To be a downer it's almost impossible though.
It's pretty hard to immigrate here. You can't apply for refugee/asylum from the US. The Canadian populace has also made Indian immigrants their scapegoat for all of their societal woes, so there's been pressure on the government to curb immigration, and they've been doing that.
Your genuine best bet of getting into Canada would probably be through getting a student visa, and obviously university is expensive (not as expensive as the US). And I think that's being cut back on too. I think basically every other mode of immigration is like, for rich people. Or do marriage fraud ig.
To my limited understanding, Canada has (or had) a teacher shortage and that the work visa requirements for education are more lenient than other fields. As with most countries, a work visa -> permanent residency -> citizenship is the "easiest" path to immigration. The largest hurdle is usually finding a company to sponsor your visa.
We had a teacher shortage, and now we have funding problem because international students basically were covering 50% of university bills because their tuition was inflated so much. The feds have basically crippled foreign student intake in programs so the teacher shortage is likely to get even worse. When I attended in the mid 00s my department already wasn't allowed to print class outlines because it wasn't approved in the budget for teachers. Can't imagine it's gotten better now.
