(1) Yes. It really doesn't matter if you are in Canada or outside of Canada. (2) It's normally very difficult. The first step is to find an employer who is willing to give you a job offer. To do that, you will need to apply for jobs through sites such as indeed and linkedin. The employer must then go through the process of obtaining an approved LMIA, including advertising the job to prove no Canadian could be hired. Once the LMIA is approved, you can then apply for a closed work permit.

Check the LMIA requirements for the company as there are several things to confirm business legitimacy (taxes, marketing plans, payroll, profits/losses). Having only one employee and not be able to hire anyone in Canada seems suspect. All company can do is apply.

Yes, my husband got the job being outside, and through Job Bank, and it was his first and only try and interview. High demand professional. You just need to send resumes to the one open for LMIA.
