Hello! got some questions

Hello!

My name is Lonnie and I'm applying for jobs within Canada specifically Winnipeg attempting to obtain a job offer. I'm currently living in the US but i lived in Manitoba for about 3 years because i was there on a study permit at the U of M and got my bachelors degree. My study permit expired and back home but i have good friends up there whom i can live with in Winnipeg in case i get a job offer.

I've been applying for jobs in Winnipeg nonstop and i was wondering if anyone has had experience getting a job offer even though your not in Canada and obtaining a work permit and stuff. I'm just worried because there are many jobs that i qualify for and i just started applying for alot and im hoping they allow me to do like a phone interview or something and i can get a job offer so that i can move back to winnipeg and obtain a work permit. Anyone have any experience in this or tips?
