How can someone secure a job in Canada with 10 yrs visitor visa?

Also, which states/provinces are advised to go to??

NB:
Still in his home country

Not an easy answer, Canada does not make it easy to get a work permit. Look into the Express Entry Program.

You need to start researching more on Google about this question, let the reading begin

Oh. Okay.

What do you think is the way forward to work in Canada with a visitor visa?? While looking into the Express entry stuff

Not possible. You need to apply for a work permit from outside of Canada. You can't use a visitor visa to work.

Okay. Can someone apply for a work permit while on a visitor visa in Canada???

Looking at the screenshot I have here...What does this means??

Anyone can apply for a job but without a work permit you will not get one. To get a work permit your future employer needs to apply for a LMIA (Google it), and this takes months and can cost the employer thousands of dollars. Now, unless you are extremely talented in a unique field, what employer will go through all that trouble?

There are exceptions, but not many. Again, I would spend a few hours on YouTube and watch a few recent videos on the subject to get the basics down (use the keywords, "Work Permit in Canada", "LMIA").

Once again. Am grateful

Hi,
Yes you can apply for a work permit while you are inside Canada. It is a process though, you will have to apply with an employer that has LMIA for you to be able to get a work permit.

As of recent, Canadian employers are looking for foreign workers to fill in job vacancies. The provinces with the most job vacancies as of recent are Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec

You can join our Facebook group where we post job vacancies with employers that have LMIA - https://www.facebook.com/groups/201076338051992/ or you can visit our website - www.greenlightcanada.com and give us a call so we can help you with the job search process.

Yeah, getting a work permit requires a lot of involvement from your potential employer. It is difficult as not many employers want to get into the bureaucracy for just one foreign employee. To have the chance, you need to be extremely good at what you do to make the employer interested in acquiring you as an asset. In my case, it was easier. My brother owns a firm in Canada. With the help of https://www.makipeople.com/, he got me the permit.
