It's often because the ad is "fake" in the sense that is is a mandatory first step before applying for a temporary foreign worker because they "couldn't find" a Canadian to fill the job. I know someone who worked at a foreign recruitment company so I know all about the outright fraud that goes on.

I also know someone that works at a company that sells relatively large $ commodities into China, so I get to see all the fraud of how Chinese do business (big deals being chopped up into smaller pieces and deposited into "nieces and nephews" accounts, etc).

I refuse to believe the Canadian government isn't well aware this is all going on (for example, it accidentally leaked that they don't audit suspicious real estate deals if a non-Canadian is involved as it might be perceived as racist), which is pretty damn depressing considering more and more people including high paid professionals are struggling financially.
