You are correct, you cannot work with just a TRV. You must have an LMO before you can apply for a work permit. The LMO is granted to the employer to show that by offering you a job it isn't taking one away from a Canadian or PR.
I noticed that you called it a TEMPORARY RESIDENT PERMIT. That is different from a Temp Resident Visa. A PERMIT is granted to someone who would not normally be granted a visa, but is given special permission for an exceptional reason.
