Hello,

Is it possible to apply for a work permit online as a temporary visitor? Or will I need to apply in person from a Canadian Consulate in the US?

If you are already in Canada as a visitor, you may not apply within Canada. You must apply for a work permit at a Canadian visa office:
  • responsible for the country where you live,
  • responsible for the country you are a citizen of, or
  • at a Canadian embassy or consulate in the United States of America.
It is not clean, however, if that applies only for paper applications or the online application is possible as well.

You have pretty much answered your question.
