Canadian visa does not give you any more rights than if you did not have it. You'd still have to qualify for a US permanent or temporary visa on its own basis and requirements. You were probably denied the student visa at the US consulate in India because they could see you did not have a genuine intent to really be a student in the US. One thing a Canadian citizen could apply for that other countries cannot except Mexico is the NAFTA visa. But that has its own requirements that you'd have to meet. The point is, you can apply for any US visa that you feel you qualify for, and see what the decision is.
