What do I need to get a temporary work permit in Canada, if I have permanent resident status in the U.S. (greencard holder)? How much time do I have the right to stay in Canada?

1. You need to find an employer. Who then advertises the position for at least 2 weeks to see if there are any qualified Canadians/PRs for the position. The the employer applies to HRSDC for a Labour Market Opinion. If successful, he then then sends you the LMO and you apply for a work permit at the Border, unless a medical is required.
2. No right to stay in Canada, only Canadians/PRs and Registered Indians have the Right. It depends if you get a LMO, if you get a work permit. The work permit is limited to a maximum of 4 years.
