Yes you can but for that you need to find a job in CANADA and once they send you an appointment letter than your company (In INDIA) can prepare your papers and apply for your work permit,just visit the website of Canada Immigration for more info.

Thanks for your reply..
i already have a job, i m just moving to the Canada office of my current company..I have all the documents ready to apply, but i had a confusion with the new process of applying online.

Till now all my colleagues were applying by mailing the documents, i am the first one to apply online.

Earlier people from my company used to submit the documents by mailing them to canada consulate, but recently online option to apply for canada WP was open , just wanted to confirm if i can use the online option when i m applying from India, instead of posting all the documents and waiting,

The reason why i am asking is, recently one of my colleagues working in US for my company applied for Canada WP thru online..

Since i am applying from India, i went to the below site, under Temporary WP, I did not find Online as a option that is listed.That is the reason why i was worried.
