Do you have a job offer????

You need an employer to apply for a labour market opinion for you to Service Canada. Basically a paper that says that he is allowed to hire a foreigner. Then you can take the labour market opinion to the border and apply for work permit.

the E-LMO i got it but my friend told that i got to wait because they need to submit my name to HRSDC after that then i can go to apply for the work permit

do you know how long does it take to get apply from HRSDC?
