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.
Negative. I had a work colleague try that and report that it was a dead end road.
Unironically, @Aliveelectricwire@hexbear.net your best bet for immigration is to marry a Canadian citizen. Even then it's a very long, drawn-out process (my family has been through it) but with the recent caps on immigration that's probably your best bet.
Sometimes I've thought ot turning my unmarried-and-bi-and-Canadian situation into a comedy video on youtube or somewhere. "Now accepting applications from desperate Americans, line forms on the left". But nowadays that feels exploitative and not very funny.
Make the show totally fictional and then use it to fund your rescue operation.
