Well, hopefully you realize that just being married to a Canadian does not entitle you to work in Canada.

You must either find an employer willing to do an LMIA (and pay the hefty fee associated with that), or...

See if your skill is listed in the NAFTA list of qualified occupations, or...

Have your spouse sponsor you to become a permanent resident of Canada.

Just like Ponga mentioned above, you need to still qualify for one of the programmes or better still read through the link below to see which one is applicable to you:

Alternatively, you will need your spouse to sponsor you to apply for PR
