Currently on a work permit in Quebec, want to apply for PR

A friend of mine is in Quebec on a work permit. They want to apply for PR but they said they'll have to do a French course which they'd rather avoid as they don't speak it . They want to use the address of a friend who lives in Ontario so they can avoid the French process. Is this feasible? If my friend is able to get their name on a lease in Ontario would that be sufficient for IRCC? Any insight is welcome.
Thanks!

It's probably not sufficient. Your friend needs to show the intent to leave Quebec. Having a lease in another province is a start. But your friend needs to show real intent: finding a job, having utility bills, terminating old job and lease in Quebec etc.

A lot also depends on the visa officer.

You can also search "intent to leave Quebec" on this forum and you'll find plenty of examples

Why not learn French? Why did your friend pick Quebec in the first place if s/he can't be bothered to learn the language?

That would be misrepresentation and could lead to a 5 year exclusion order.

So they want to lie is what you’re saying?

These are the times that one hopes the IRCC slams a five year ban on these people for misrepresentation
