To answer your question:-
Option 1: Only IT Managers can apply for Federal Skilled workers categories. If u are IT manager, you are good to go. Apply for FSW immigration.
Option 2: Look for a job in some Canadian province, get nomination letter from that province. It is difficult option, but people do this.

WHY TO YOU SAY PROVINCIAL NOMINEE IS DIFFICULT?

The difficult part is getting a job offer when you are not in Canada to do interviews and you have to tell your prospective employer that if they want to hire you, they first need to apply for a document from Service Canada to verify the job offer and then wait for several months to over a year for you to use the job offer to immigrate after which there is no guarantee that you will actually come to work for them. If you qualify for the H1B program in AB, you don't need to job offer, see http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/campaigns/h1b.html
