I’ve heard that some people make a living that way.
Imagine that you have a company and place a false ad in a newspaper, don't find a suitable candidates in Canada and you sponsor a foreigner. This is how it works.
The only think I don't know is what they do once the candidate arrives in Canada. They have to be responsible employers but because this is a fake job offer what do they do not to get caught?

I've heard of similar scams in other places. What they can do is get the employee an OPEN Work permit, which allows him to work for any employer, then either fire him, or keep him on a "make believe" job with little or no pay.

There is a related scam I ran into: After you getg a work permit (any will do), you fly to canada for a "vacation", but leave via the U.S. Repeat once or twice over the next 3 years, and you have a new Canadian citizen - without leaving your home!

Nice

Sometimes I think the government closes their eyes deliberately.
They know all the scams, I'm sure of it. When you go to the States they never stamp your passport, everybody knows that.

Another scam that I know of:
When you go to take the oath for citizenship you have to give in your PR card. Without this card you can not get your citizenship papers. Well, some people do take their papers without giving this card back. How?
You just tell that you have lost your card and they give you a form to fill out describing how you lost it, when you lost it and your contact information. A man in the same room as mine even told the officer that he doesn’t have a phone, no home phone, no cell, no work number to be reached! Imagine that!
What they do is they just send this PR card to somebody else (relative or just sell it) who enters Canada with it and after 3 years becomes a citizen!
