1. You would need to qualify to emigrate, probably through Express Entry. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp You need 67 points to be eligible to enter EE, there is a point calculator which tells you if you have sufficient points.
2. If you feel that you have sufficient points, you would need your education assessed under the ECA, and take either an English or French test or both. You need to score at least 6 in each module of the IELTs general to qualify.
3. If you have the sufficient points in EE (about 425) you would be asked to submit an application within 90 days.
4. You would not be able to call yourself an Engineer in Canada, until you meed the qualifications in one of the provinces. Here is the basic outline of what is required: https://www.ice.org.uk/near-you/north-america/canada/working-in-canada
