First of all no such list exists. Second, you need to lower your expectations. Canada is not global leader in any thing so you can´t be talking too high about this or that. If you are an everyday-jack who don´t mind bending a lil this way and a lil that way, then canada is for you. With all those high expectations, you are prime candidate for disappointment.

You mean this list?
http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/itexemp.shtml
Under the facilitated processing, HRSDC has issued national confirmations for the following occupations:
* Senior animation effects editors
* Embedded systems software designers
* MIS software designers
* Multimedia software developers
* Software developers - services
* Software products developers
* Telecommunications software designers
Good luck, shady!

just what i was looking for (in reply to: most wanted)
exactly what i was looking for, i think there´s also a more global list in which hrsdc confirmation is not required i´ll try finding that myself to have a more concise view.But i have one more question, if i file an immigration form as a skilled worker should i have a ready-employer in Canada waiting for me ?
and sorry for the lame title i
accidentally submitted without checking the title.
thanks

R U referring to the North American Free Trade Agreement list? This depends on the country your from and you have to meet certain details.
Or are you referring to the Occupational list under pressure for Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia? This would require a LMO but the employer only needs to advertise the position in the Federal Government Job Bank.

If you´re a US/Mexican citizen, then NAFTA exempts you from HRSDC confirmation if you´re in a selected profession with the right education.

Scroll down to Appendix 1603.D.1
If you´re eligible for this or the first link I posted, you can find a job and get a work permit quickly. Once you´re in Canada, you can apply for PR.

To answer your other question...
You need a job offer to apply for a work permit, but you don´t need one to apply for permanent residence (which takes much longer to get).
