How Do I Get To Canada from Kenya?  

There are a number of various immigration pathways and streams that will help you on your pathway to becoming a permanent resident and even a Canadian citizen one day, but the first thing you will need is to apply for a Temporary Work Permit:

Temporary Work Permit Requirements

• Your employer must have a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment;
• which he must provide a copy of the LMIA along with a job offer letter or employment contract;
• Once you have these, complete the required forms and submit them.

Once you have your work permit you can begin your journey. For some programs, such as the Provincial Nomination Program, you can apply for permanent residency at the same time as you apply for your work permit, as you will have a provincial nomination. For others, such as the Agri-food Immigration Pilot, you will need to first get one year's worth of experience in Canada before submitting your application for permanent residency.
