I am a German citizen, currently living in NY on a work visa and looking to move to Toronto. I would be looking for a job outside my current employer. What does the visa process look like? Is there a lottery for work permits like in the US or a certain date by what I need to apply or do I “only” need to find an employer who’s willing to sponsor me and everything else is more of administrative nature?

You only need to find an employer who is ready to sponsor. Work permits are issued throughout the year, no lottery.

Might be easier for you to come to Canada if your company has an office in Canada. This program is called "International Mobility"
It will be an intra company transfer work permit

LMIA work permits are not easy to get. And a lot of employers here won't even move forward without if you do not already have a work permit. Things have change with Covid now making things extremely hard

LMIA work permit is too much headache for the employer
