In order to qualify for a work permit - you first have to find an employer in Canada willing to offer you a full time job. That employer then needs to obtain an approrved LMIA (this process takes a number of months and costs the employer $1K). If the LMIA is approved, you can then apply for a work permit.

So the first step is to find an employer.
