Can I apply for a Work Permit from inside Canada?

[frollo]

Hi !

I'm in Canada (BC - Vancouver) as Turist with a Temporary Resident Visa that is valid for less then six months.
I would like to work but my job require a Work Permit.

If I have a job offer, can I apply for a Work Permit from inside Canada?
Or should I go at the board?

In my case, Do you know how if there are different type of Work Permit that i can apply for?

A job offer is not enough to apply for a work permit.

Before you can apply for a work permit, your employer first has to apply for a Labour Market Opinion. As part of this process, your employer has to prove that they advertised the job and were unable to find a
Canadian to take the role. If the Labour Market Opinion is approved, you can then apply for a work permit.
