Some countries have student / youth exchange programs where you can get a 1-year open work permit.

Unless you can access one of those programs, though, you will probably need a job offer and labour market opinion to work in Canada as a foreign national.

Guidelines from this forum:

http://www.canadavisa.com/canadian-immigration-open-work-permits.html

Under Canada immigration regulations, spouses and common-law partners of temporary foreign workers and foreign students, who themselves want to work in Canada, will need an Open Work Permit. Open Work Permits are also available through the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program for international students.
The holder of an Open Work Permit can work for any Canadian employer, without first having a confirmed offer of employment.

An Open Work Permit is not job-specific.

Under Canada immigration regulations, Open Work Permits may be applied for by:

* the spouses or common-law partners of foreign temporary workers;

* the spouses or common-law partners of foreign students;
* international students who have graduated from a Canadian post-secondary institution (new as of April 2008).


To be eligible for an Open Work Permit, graduating international students must meet the requirements under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program.

To be eligible for an Open Work Permit, the spouse or common-law partner of a foreign temporary worker must demonstrate that:

* the principal temporary foreign worker has work in Canada that is at a management level or a job in a professional occupation or as a technical or skilled tradesperson. In other words the skill level of the principal temporary foreign worker’s job must be level 0, A or B according to the National Occupational Classification (NOC).
* This skill level requirement does not apply to principal temporary foreign workers who have been nominated for permanent residence by a province (provincial nominees).

* the principal temporary foreign worker is permitted to work in Canada for a period of at least six months.


To be eligible for an Open Work Permit, the spouse or common-law partner of a foreign student cannot themselves be full-time students and must demonstrate that:

* the foreign student is studying full-time at a diploma/degree-granting, publicly-funded post-secondary educational facility; or

* the foreign student has graduated and is the holder of a valid work permit for a job related to his/her studies.


For spouses and common-law partners, Open Work Permits are generally issued with a validity date that coincides with the period of time that their spouse is permitted to work or study in Canada, as the case may be.

No. You can come as an immigrant though if you qualify under any of the immigration streams. As TFW, WP would be tied to an employer.
