One of my friends told me that you can apply for permanent residence
only being outside Canada and that your application will be rejected
if you already work in Canada. I have failed so far to find
confirmation of this statement. Should I conclude that my friend did
not know exactly what he was talking about or is it really true that
you should apply for PR before starting a job in Canada?

Thanks!

You may apply for PR visa at any time, as long as you qualify. But
application must be submitted to proper visa post outside Canada:
