I slightly disagree with this. If he finds a Canadian spouse, then he
should be able to immigrate anyway.

But the problem is that it is much more hard to find a job here, as a
non-Canadian, than one would imagine. Even though Canada claims it has
a great economy, there is massive resistence on the part of most
employers against hiring anyone who hasn't been here their whole lives.
