> by filling in a few simple forms and posting a job in the "Canada Job Bank" for a period of time to demonstrate that you genuinely searched for locals to fill the role and couldn't find anyone suitable

This is anathema to tech H1B abusers, which is why they post these jobs in obscure print publications no one reads, to deliberately conceal their existence, while meeting the legal requirement.

Unfortunately for them, they cannot treat domestic workers as chattel, which is the inconvenient truth in most cases.

You're confusing H1B with PERM. H1B has no job posting requirements.
