Once you have received the LMIA approved job offer, you can apply for the Canadian temporary visa.
How you can convert your temporary visa to Canadian PR?
Once you have spent sufficient time and earned appropriate experience in Canada, you can apply for the PR (permanent residency) in Canada under CIC (Canadian Experience Class) stream of express entry system.
