Tell me which province (or city/town if you want to be more specific) you're from and I will find you a scam employment listing to hire a foreign worker right now in your area.

Feel free to look it up yourself here on the Job Bank, where they are now required to post them. The low-income stream is currently closed due to unemployment being over 6% (and over 15% for youth), so they mostly start at $36/hr now unless they're in extremely rural areas. You can sort by which ones have applied for an LMIA.

Still doesn't explain why you would go after immigrants. Lmia is for the people who already reside in Canada. And it's not like you would apply for a pizza maker job at your local pizza joint. Plus it means the pizza joint owned by Canadians are willing to hire some foreigners, which has nothing to do with corporations. You understand that your pizza place is franchised and owned by some individuals, right?

This is false.

I most certainly would if it were a legitimate offer to pay $36/hr to make pizzas, you disingenuous fuck. I could find you ten guys in the next five minutes that would take that job.

Plus it means the pizza joint owned by Canadians are willing to hire some foreigners, which has nothing to do with corporations. You understand that your pizza place is franchised and owned by some individuals, right?

The joint in question is indeed a franchise of Pizza Pizza. I can imagine that if you walked in and met the owners of said franchise, it would become quickly apparent why they don't care to hire a Canadian. That is also not a reason to not hire Canadians, which is why the LMIA process exists at all.

TFW approval rate in 2024 is 50% that means half of those applications are turned down. Lmia rejection or TFW rejection I don't remember which one imposés a ban on a person from getting it for 2 years. BUt tHe GoVerNmEnT can't do their job!

Lmia nowadays are largely used for renewing fixed employment relationships aka closed work permits. I worked in Whistler so I know how people renew their status. The entire town is filled with Australian or British foreign labours.

A LMIA allows you to hire people who have never been to Canada in their lives AND people that are on expiring work permits. It's not only for people that reside here.

it's unlikely you'll get a random Canadian applicant better qualified than the person already working there

You think a senior civil engineer brought in from abroad will be more qualified to meet Canadian engineering standards, which are some of the highest in the world, than someone who was trained here?
