I have talked with and surveyed a lot of employers in recent years about their willingness to hire immigrants. When I ask them would you hire an immigrant that is in Canada and has a work permit - almost all say absolutely. When I ask them if they would go through the process of international recruitment, do all the paperwork, pay the fees, help them new hires move to Canada, help get them set up here, wait 6-18 months, etc. - the vast majority - particularly small firms - say no.
