This is not advisable.

It would be much better to remain in your home country and search for a job from there. Once you have a job offer and approved work permit, you can then move to Canada.

If you come to Canada on a visitor visa, it may be many months before you can secure a job offer + approved LMIA in order to qualify for a work permit. It's extremely expensive to live in Canada without working and you would need to have a lot of money saved up to pay for your living expenses while you look for a job.
