1) just download the "Independent" application form from CIC.
2) gather all the necessary document and mail it to any Canadian embassy or consulate general in oversea; take into the account of application back log and interview location, you may want to mail it either to Buffalo or Seattle;
3) Wait for instructions for body checkup and interview. Generally, they would not ask for an interview unless they want to clearify information from your application.
4) Once the body check up & interview are done; wait for decision from them.
If you don't have work experience; I suggest you to take the advantage of enrolling into co-op from your school. This is the best way to find job while you are a student.
