It's typically quite difficult to get a work permit.

Before you can apply for a work permit, you have to find an employer who is willing to offer you a full time job. That employer then has to obtain something called an approved LMIA. This process costs the employer money and takes several months to process. If the LMIA is approved, you can then apply for a closed work permit tied to that specific employer.

So your first step is to find an employer in Canada who is willing to give you a full time job and who is also ready to go through the LMIA process.

Hi Scylla,
Thanks for your reply.
the main thing is how can I find a employer? Is there any link we can search an employer who can offer or look for a foreign worker?

Thanks

There is no such web site. You will have to search for jobs on the same websites used by Canadians (e.g. indeed, Canadian Job Bank, workopolis, monster.ca). Unfortunately most of the employers you find here likely won't be interested in hiring a foreign worker. All you can to is apply to jobs and hope you get luckly.
