Hi there! I am an English teacher living in Albania, Europe. I am interested of getting a work permit to work and live in Canada. I have a university degree in English teacher and translator gained in Albania. Can I find a job offer with this degree in Canada. If yes, how? Can anyone help?

Unfortunately there's really no chance of working in Canada as teacher for a few reasons. First of all, you aren't certified to teach in Canada. You would need to go through the process of being certified before you can teach. Secondly, Canada has far more teachers than job openings. Work permits really aren't granted in this field because there's no shortage of qualified Canadians.
If you want to teach in Canada, you should find a way to immigrate and become a permanent resident.

Yes - certification differs from province to province. You'll need to research the process.
But even if you're certified - the answer will still be the same. You're not going to get a job as a foreign worker since the employer would need to prove there are no Canadians to hire for the role - and there are simply too many qualified teachers in Canada.
You would need to become a permanent resident and become certified - then things would change.
