I looked into contracting out there, didn't get as far sorting out insurances as I soon found out that you can't get a job without a work permit and, guess what! You can't get a work permit without a job!
If you have skills that are in extreme shortage, or going out there because your current role requires you to work there then you should be ok. Otherwise, companies are (from the experience I had) very reticent to sponsor you for a permit and the agencies (like over here) want proof you are allowed to work in Canada before they'll even consider talking to you.
