Good day,
How can I apply as a butcher?
You apply for jobs. You don’t have work authorization. So if you get a job offer, your employer pays $1000 and applies for a LMIA to prove no Canadian or PR could be hired. This takes months. Then if you get a LMIA, you apply for a closed work permit. Processing takes months too. Few employers go through the process but some do.

I'd say next to impossible..plenty of butchers already in Canada.

There are quite a lot of industrial butchers needed because it is a really tough job and most Canadians prefer not to see how meat gets onto our table. Search large industrial meat processors. I know that they depend on foreign labour but I’m not sure if they use an agency to hire people. Would do some googling to do more research.
