He can't just apply for a work permit. He'll need a job offer in Canada first. His employer will also likely have to obtain an LMO (labour market opinion) before he can apply for a work permit.

Either way - the first step is to find an employer in Canada who is willing to offer him a job.

Once he has a job, then next step is to determine if he qualifies under NAFTA. If he does - no LMO is required. If he doesn't qualify under NAFTA, then his employer will have to obtain an LMO.

Once he has done all of the above he can then apply for a work permit.
