How do i apply for a work permit if i want to work in Canada?

"2. Obtain an application package.
The package includes the application guide and all the forms you need to fill out. Download and print the application package."

Please note the next three sentences:

"Before you fill out the application, you will need:
* a written job offer from your employer
* proof that you meet the requirements of the job (for example, proof of certain education or work experience) and
* the positive labour market opinion on your job offer from Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC), if one is required. In some cases, you can submit your application while you wait for the positive labour market opinion. See Concurrent processing in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page."

If you need an HRSDC opinion, it is up to your employer to get it and send it to you. For more information about HRSDC opinions, go to Frequently asked questions in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.

Remember, even if HRSDC has given a positive labour market opinion, there is no guarantee that you will get a work permit.

Some jobs do not require an HRSDC opinion. For more information on those jobs, go to Work permit: Who can apply in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page. For these jobs you will require:

* proof of identity in the form of a valid passport or travel document that guarantees that you will be able to return to the country where it was issued and
* if you are not a citizen of the country in which you are applying, you must also provide proof of your present immigration status in that country.

After your employer gets confirmation that you can be offered a job, the employer will send you the labour market opinion confirmation letter. You must submit the detailed job offer with the application.

Now you can apply for a work permit at a Canadian mission abroad.

************************************

As you can see, it is a very complicated and drawn out process. It is extremely difficult to immigrate to Canada I hope you know. Canadian companies will not hire foreigners to do jobs that a qualified Canadian can do. Also, Canada is experiencing a very serious economic recession. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians have lost their jobs so that means that what few jobs there are left out there will go to Canadians.
If, however, you do receive a job offer, it will be the company that takes care of the paperwork - not you. Are you sure it isn't some kind of scam?

if you have skills then you can apply for an LMO - which can take a few months to be processed.

Once you have the LMO, then you can apply for a work permit at the canadian border with the LMO as proof.

Once you get into Canada you can apply for jobs in the job sector listed on the work permit.

The notation APPLICANT MUST APPLY FOR THE WORK PERMIT.
means that the hotel does not want to go through the LMO process themselves - they want you to do it.
