Hey Silky, I know from past experiences it is up to the company to contact the HR folks.... in particular the Foreign Workers dept. and they will go through the motions of advertising for the position e.t.c.. You don't actually contact them yourself (I found this out the hard way)..but this was a couple of years ago so things may have changed. Here are some numbers.
Human Resources - (780)495-6802 note: this number is for the offices in Edmonton, Alberta but they will have all the info for you. Their website is
www.hrdc.gc.ca
Citizenship and Immigration - 1-888-242-2100 I am sure these folks can answer some questions for you.
All the best and keep me posted.
