Hi!

I have incorporated a new startup here in Alberta and I wanted to know if it is possible to apply for closed work permit with an offer letter of my own business?

If you get an approved LMIA, then yes.

Yes it is. The first step will entail getting a LMIA approval for your company & employee (viz you), and post that apply for your work permit. It is a time consuming process. It involves employer interview as well (again you in this case).
Best would be to align with a lawyer for all this.
