Have you read through the LMIA requirements yet? Suggest you do that first. You will need to prove business legitimacy which you most likely won't be able to do right away. So doable but it will take work and the LMIA will of course need to be approved.
Can I register a company and send myself a job offer (LMIA)?

As I said above, most likely not possible right away due to the business legitimacy requirements. Most likely you would need to run the business for a year showing sufficient income and also file corporate taxes before an LMIA will be feasible. Just opening a business won't be enough.
Okay thank you i appreciate that so if he starts his business and then after 1 year may be he will do that.
Hi , @scylla sorry to disturb you again , can you please advise one more thing as I am on PR and my friend is on LMIA closed work permit for 2 years in different province so, can he start a business with me and could it be help him to get PR in anyway? Please
It may or it may not be possible. Your friend will need to dedicate time to researching the PNP programs in the province where you plan to start the business.
Okay, you mean he needs to search a PNP program in Calgary where I am and he is working in BC now. ? but how it is possible to search a PNP in Calgary as he is working in BC and he is on closed work permit not on open work permit ?
Based on these circumstances, it will likely be challenging and may not be possible. He would probably be best off hiring an immigration lawyer to advise him.
