based on my research online this is what i found
Immigration fraud is not a new issue in Canada. Our immigration system has been abused over the years by immigration marriages, falsified investment documentation, hidden criminality and bogus refugee claims. However, as immigration policy slowly shifts from traditional selection criteria to an employment-driven program, so too have the fraudulent activities shifted to that same area.
Abuse of our current employment-related immigration programs typically occurs in one of two ways.
First, as you would expect, applicants are currently applying for provincial nomination or arranged employment opinions (a Canadian job offer to support an immigrant’s skilled worker application) on the basis of fake job offers. A fake job offer can mean:
The company offering the position has no intention to hire the immigrant when they arrive, but is being paid to offer the job. The immigrant has produced fraudulent documents to prove his or her qualifications for the job. Companies are writing job offers to fit certain program criteria, but in fact expect the immigrant to perform a less impressive or completely different job once they arrive in Canada.
The second area of abuse of our immigration system comes in the form of immigrants paying for job offers. Most provinces have legislation that provides that a person must not request, charge or receive (indirectly or directly) a payment from those seeking employment for employing them or obtaining employment for them, or providing information about employers seeking employees.
What this means is that paying $10,000 for a job offer for your relative overseas is illegal (this happens all the time!). All levels of government are aware of these problems and we can expect a higher level of monitoring and enforcement as these activities continue to swell out of control
