It is only illegal in Canada for a recruiter to charge fees.  What you need is to find an employer in Canada who can get a labour market opinion that there are no Canadians or PR available for the job.  ONce they have that they send it to you and you then apply for a work permit to the Canadian office serving your place of residence.  The cost for the work permit is $150.00 Canadian.  You should read: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/index.asp
