I understand there must be some rationale behind this, but from an outside viewpoint it's quite bizarre. The incentives are exactly opposite of what one would expect (either move out or become productive member of the society as easily as possible).
- byroot 4y agoCanada don't care much whether immigrants are "productive members of society". You're free to spend your money in Canada, and as an immigrant without a job, you won't benefit from much welfare and such. The only thing they care about regarding work permits is wether the job the immigrant will occupy could be filled by a Canadian citizen.
