No, that is not correct.

1) The employer has to obtain the LMO. It does not cost anything.

2) The employer cannot give you a work permit, only CIC can. The employer has to give you a copy of the LMO before you can obtain a work permit. It costs $150 CAD. Some employers will reimbuse you, some will not.
