The occupation of a bricklayer in the Canadian province of Quebec is in high demand. If you are looking forward to move to Canada and pursue the occupation, then Quebec will be the best destination for you! But, before you decide on something and land at the Canadian soil, it is important for you to have some knowledge about the Canadian/Quebec labor market, as well as the occupation you are intending to pursue. Let's have a look at the main duties attached to the bricklayer occupation in Quebec:
 •A bricklayer is required to place construction materials like bricks, stone and concrete blocks for the construction of walls, fireplaces, and various other related structures as instructed.
 
The occupation of a bricklayer is regulated Quebec. In order to be able to practice this occupation, individuals are required to obtain a competency certificate from the ‘Commission de la construction du Québec'.
 
Quebec had about 5,000 individuals in this occupation in the year 2008. About 90 percent of the total bricklayers were employed full time jobs the same year. According to the 2005 stats, the average yearly income of a full-time bricklayer was 38,000 Dollars.

To find a job offer, you must find an employer.  You can look for example at:

http://www.monster.ca/

If you find a job, apply for it.  Tell them that you either need an LMO for a work permit or an AEO so you can apply for the PR yourself.  Employers are not all too happy about that but if they can't get anybody in Canada, they might be willing to go for it.

I would assume that an employer would rather that you come on a work permit than to help you apply for your PR right away.  The reason is that if you come on a work permit, you can start working for them a lot sooner while if you apply for PR, it will take months, maybe over a year and they have no guarantee that you will ever actually come and work for them even if you get your PR because you are not obligated to and might decide on another job.
