So ,How can he change his visitor to work permit???
He cannot change it. He needs a job offer and employer must file and pay for a LMIA.The LMIA proves that no Canadian or PR has the experience, education or language skills to do the job, only him. With LMIA, he applies for a closed work permit. He may need ECA and IELTS depending on the job as well as reference letters.

This is what your agents and youtubers are telling you.
Now let me Welcome you to the real world!
1st myth:
(Just come on Visit and this is your motherland you can CONVERT your visit to anything and live here with your family for your life..)

There is nothing like CONVERT your visit to anything.
Each category has his own requirements, and the requirements are similar to what you need if you apply from your home country.
2nd Myth:
(Its a piece of cake, You can buy a LMIA or get a admission in college and hurray you are good to live for your rest of life)

There is no shopping for LMIAs here. You cannot BUY a LMIA. Even through if you Paid someone illegally to get you LMIA, you are prone to Fraud and blackmailing for rest of your life.
For LMIA, you need a EMPLOYER who is WILLING to file a LMIA for you and He should PROVE that YOU ARE THE MOST SUITABLE PERSON FOR THE JOB and HE COULD NOT FIND ANY CANADAIN OR P.R. PERSON.
and moreover, IRCC will ask for your degree/qualifications , experience etc related to LMIA profession NOC.
and believe me its not Easy!

In all cases, you need to FILE a NEW APPLICATION and also PROVE THAT YOU WILL "GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY AFTER YOUR WORK is FINISHED" and its same as you got your visit visa.

Enjoy the reality !

Buying a LMIA is illegal. Still needs to apply for a closed work permit and show his experience.

He is not eligible for a an open work permit unless married to a Masters/Phd student, worker, PR/citizen. Where is her from?

You can't buy an LMIA.

You don't qualify for an open work permit.

Buying a LMIA is illegal and against the law so that would be through illegal channels. Talk to your employer.

What is TRC? If you don’t want PR or citizenship (which is residency) then you are just coming to research businesses. You aren’t starting or buying a business because that doesn’t let you work in Canada. What do you mean by residency if you don’t want PR, citizenship?

Never heard of a TRC. Send the link. Anyways under current rules you cannot come to canada and live for 1 to 2 years. You can come as a visitor and stay up to 6 months. If you plan to start a business in Canada then you will have to go through the federal or provincial Entrepreneur programs. You will need high net worth and commit to spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to invest. There are lots of rules.
