Please, forget it. There are no jobs for video editors. We already have hundreds of thousands of unemployed Canadians some of whom are also film editors. What few jobs there may be out there won't go to foreigners but to a qualified Canadian. No employer will hire you - we have more than enough unemployed film editors. My advice for you would be to just, please, stay in Mumbai until the economy improves here in Canada - in, say 3-5 years' time. Then, if you still think you can make in Canada, apply to immigrate and enjoy the fabulously long line up of other applicants who also want to come to Canada. We are currently working through close to one million applications and, as Canada only accepts about 250,000 qualified immigrants each year, I think you can see how long it would take for you. Canada accepts professionals in fields like medicine, nursing, engineering or qualified tradespeople - not film editors. Sorry, you're outta luck there.
