It doesn't. No intelligence or English/French language tests needed for QIIP. Canada (except Québec) has a merit based immigration system called Express Entry for skilled individuals. Québec's called Québec skilled worker pro

According to the Canadian charter of mobility rights, once you are granted a permanent residency, you can live in any province of your choice. So this intend to settle in Québec doesn't hold. That's why many of them have never eve

Not surprising at all. Canada had "money for citizenship scheme" and these are the side effects. Québec has and is still playing a major role in this scheme with their provincial scheme called QIIP. Once the rich "investor&qu

Because Québec has full autonomy in cherry picking its immigrants, the QIIP money for citizenship scheme is alive and kicking. The federal govt. cannot do anything to stop this according to the Canada Québec Accord. https://www.i

I have been through LCA some years back before I called bullshit on H1B and immigrated to Canada for good. For LCA, the advertisement was done on a local newspaper which no one reads and the job was posted on the company pantry notice board

Slight exception in Quebec though. Quebec has its own immigration rules & policies. Quebec do not follow rest of Canada's Express Entry or provincial nomination. In regards to obtaining a skilled work permit in Quebec, its a longer

Re: Number 2: This is a common pattern in all big American companies. Hire an H1B, make the employee an indentured slave forever. H1B employées born in India and China have to wait 10+ years for a green card to break free from indentured se
