If you are under 35 years old, you may apply for a IEC work permit but that stream is closed and will reopen in 2019. Another option is to have your friend apply for LMIA which I may say its quite difficult to obtain and very costly as well. Processing time for LMIA is 3 to 6 months and if somehow you got a approved LMIA then you can apply for a closed work permit.

In my opinion, this is a bad idea for you and your family to make a huge decision to move if there is no guarantee of a work permit yet and you should expect to wait for a couple of months before even allowed to work in Canada.

You should be looking at estimated late 2019 to be able to work in Canada.
