Is AEO mandatory before an employer applied for LMO?

No, it's not.

thanks amira, where can I find whether an employer is eligible to apply for an LMO or hire a temporary foreign worker?

As long as an employer is not on CIC's ineligibility list (and currently no one is), then he/she is free to apply for an LMO.

If you mean where can you find an employer willing to apply for an LMO, then that's a more complication question, especially if you're outside Canada at the moment. You can start with the popular job boards - monster, workopolis, job bank, kijiji, etc.

There are certain types of jobs and regions of the country where LMOs are more common - for example, in Alberta there is demand for construction trades (welders, pipefitters, etc.) and service jobs (fast food restaurant workers, cooks, cleaners, etc.). If there's a shortage of Canadians available for a particular job in a particular city/town/region, it's easier to get an LMO.
