You do not need a study permit if you plan to take a course or program in Canada that lasts six months or less. You must complete the course or program within the period authorized for your stay in Canada.
Only a full-time student enrolled at a participating publicly funded post-secondary educational institution can apply for off-campus work permit.
A Post-Graduation work permit cannot be valid for longer than the student’s study program, and the study program must be a minimum of eight months in length.
Have you thought applying to Canada Working Holiday Visa?
You can live and work in Canada with open work permit for a year and I think you may renew it later on or you could apply for Permanent residency. To qualify for the International Experience Canada programs you have to be a citizen of the Ireland between the ages of 18 and 30.
