from us to work in canada where do i file my application

I'm a Filipino but not a resident of the US and wanted to migrate to Canada from the US. Is there a way I can apply here in the US without going back to the Philippines?

Do you have a job offer? What kind of application are you looking to do?
Were you legal in the US for 1 year even if you are not legal anymore or are you a tourist there?
You could go to Canada as a tourist, look for a job, wait for the LMO and then leave the country just to the US to get your work permit issued but it could take up to a few months to get the LMO and work permit. It might not be a good idea to wait for it here when you are spending money and not allowed to work.

Yeah, if you were never legal in the US except as a tourist, you can't apply there.
