If you want to work in Canada, the first step is to find an employer in Canada who is willing to offer you a job. That employer must then obtain an approved Labour Market Opinion:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

Once you have the approved LMO, you can then apply for a work permit. If the work permit is approved, you can then come to Canada to work for that employer.

Hi Scylla,

I have a question. LMO and work permit are two validations that need to be cleared to work legally in canada right? correct me if i am wrong : LMO is more like depat of labour who approves my application and later with that approval i go to immigration office andask for a work permit(visa). so there is a possibility of visa being denied?
