   Eligibility to apply from outside Canada
   To apply for a work permit from outside Canada, you must submit the following documents:
   
   a job offer from a Canadian employer
   a completed application, that shows that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, and
   written confirmation from Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) that the employer can hire a foreign worker to fill the job. This confirmation is called a positive labour market opinion.
   In most cases, it is up to your employer to get that written confirmation. Information on the labour market opinion is found under Information for Canadian employers on the right-hand side of this page.
   In some cases, you do not need a labour market opinion. Such as support letter from the Province nominating you.

   I currently have a work permit under a specific employer in Alberta, if I find another employer in Vancouver who's willing to hire me, what steps does the new employer and I need to take for me to be able to change my work permit status?

   if the work-permit you want to apply for is not hrdsc exempt than you and your employer would have to go through hrdsc confirmation process too. Certain categories are hrdsc exempt such as pnp , post-grad work permit , it workers etc.
