Work permit is different from PR. PR is like an US green Card and work Permit is like US H1B. To get the work permit, Canadian Employer should hire you and then you can process the PR(Green Card) through the Employer. But you can also apply for Green Card, while you are working in US too, without even having the work offer. This takes approx 1 Yr. But depends on Individual Cases.
