Dear CrEaTiVe86
Most improtant question is about your legal status in Canada i.e. are you a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (the people who come here on immigration visa)? As far as my understanding is, articleship training in Canada in CICA ATOs is treated as "job" here for which only citizens or permanent residents are eligible. Though fulltime students (of universities/colleges) on student visa can legally do part time jobs, but most likely ATOs neither hire student visa holders nor arrange for work visa for training contracts, if someone is <b>directly coming from outside Canada</b>, like you are planning. If they do so then I don't know. One possibility could be for those students who come here first for higher studies, complete their degree here, and then get hired from any ATO which would have to apply for work visa of that applicant.
By the way, don't be discouraged by above para. Plan your life according to your goals and work for that. It gonna take some time but you would be successful.
Regards
