Yes, as long as you follow all the employment laws in Canada. It would be similar to having a Green Card or work Visa in the United States.

Canadian Immigration Requirements
Work Permits
To work legally in Canada, foreign nationals who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents require a work permit.
A Work Permit is a document issued by the federal Department of Citizenship and Immigration (CIC) that allows a foreign national who is not a permanent resident to work temporarily in Canada. Work permits specify the employer the foreign worker may work for, the length of time they are allowed to work in Canada, as well as any conditions or restrictions.
There are a number of work permit categories covering a wide range of work situations in Canada. In some cases persons may apply directly to a CIC official at a visa office abroad or at a port of entry. In other cases, the company must first obtain a foreign worker job offer "confirmation" from the federal Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. For additional information about work permit requirements, see Temporary Work Permits.
In addition to meeting the requirements of the work permit category in which they have applied, all applicants must meet statutory requirements related to health and good character in order to be approved. In some cases, the employee may be required to complete a medical examination as part of the application process. Citizens of certain countries may also require a temporary resident visa in order to travel to Canada.

I doubt that they would just grant citizenship after one year on sort of default bases. That applies to US states. However, Canada is another COUNTRY and has a completely different set of laws. You have to have a permit to work and live there full time. Talk to someone at the Canadian Embassy. THey have one in DC and I'm sure they have consulates everywhere.

Yes. It is a lot easier when you already have a job lined up there.
