You cannot get an LMIA yourself. Only your employer who has offered you a full time job in Canada can apply for an LMIA.

The instructions your employer has to follow are here: http://www.esdc.gc.ca/en/foreign_workers/hire/median_wage/high/overview.page

Agency cannot hire you, they can recommend you to a foreign employer and the process of LMIA is very complicated not that simple, employer has to prove that they cannot find a same skill set in Canada and have to hire a foreign worker.

Just saying, it could be a scam

Most likely a scam. If they are asking for any money - then it's definitely a scam.
