How do the Canadians obey the law?

Glad to hear you're kidding about the illegal bit - I've known my share of folks here in France who have gone that route.

You're right that you'll have a much better shot at finding a job if you are over there in person. Even for a skilled worker, it's not easy to get hired from overseas without making at least one trip (at your own expense) over to get in some "face time" with potential employers. It also can help if you can show an employer that you don't expect them to pay to move you over. (That is one big factor that puts them off hiring from overseas in the first place - why pay someone's moving costs if there are people they can hire who already live in the area?)

But be aware that it may take some time to find a job, and it may take more than one trip over there. As you learn more about the job market there, you'll come up with more ideas about how to make it "easy" for an employer to hire you.

Bev thanks for giving me some hope

I know it won't be easy but want to try.I think you're right "why pay someone's moving costs if there are people they can hire who already live in the area?"I'll try to persuade potential employers that I would pay the costs myself and don't need their money.Hopefully I'll get more responses.

I'm just wondering which part of Canada is in biggest demand of workers?Is it still Alberta or other parts are developing faster?

This is all baloney, if you want to come and work in Canada and have the skills that are needed, you apply for immigrant status at your closest Canadian Delegation. You need to speak English, or French if Quebec is your destination.
If you have what we need you will be admitted.
