Entering as a visitor then apply for work permit

[bailavida]

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible for a person in visit visa to apply for work permit while still in Canada or does he need to exit Canada before the process? What's the process like? Also, can he apply and get a job offer while still in visit visa?

I hope someone would be able to answer my question. I live in BC and a relative of mine is planning to visit from the Philippines and might look for opportunities to get a work permit preferably while in Canada.

Thanks in advance!

Yes. If he can find an employer who's willing to file for a LMO in his favor.
