Im applying as a teacher from Pakistan. I have done b.ed and mphil from Pakistan already. Do I need to do anything from Canada to become a certified teacher there? What's the process of applying for jobs? Can I get LMIA myself for teaching?

You'll need to go through a certification process to be allowed to teach in Canada at the primary / secondary school level. This process varies slightly from province to province. Here's a link to the information for Ontario: https://www.oct.ca/becoming-a-teacher/internationally-educated-teachers

You'll need to get certified before applying for jobs will be possible.

But as far as I know,I can apply for this certificate when I get a job offer not before it.
Generally you would get certified first. I would research the certification process for the province where you will be working since it's not necessarily a short process and it generally needs to be completed in Canada.

Licensing comes first. You will not get a LMIA from public school boards. Private schools may not require licensing but private school must prove no teacher in Canada could be hired.
