   Toronto immigration firm charges $170K for fake Canadian job, undercover   
   investigation reveals   
      
   A Toronto immigration company offered a job to an undercover CBC journalist   
   posing as a Chinese national seeking permanent residence in Canada for   
   $170,000.   
      
   For that fee, WonHonTa Consulting Inc. said, the would-be immigrant would be   
   buying the job and paying their own wage.   
      
   And the company said the applicant was to pay the fee to the personal bank   
   account of WonHonTa's sole director in order to avoid taxes.   
   [---]   
      
   Vancouver-based immigration lawyer and policy analyst Richard Kurland   
   characterized what WonHonTa offered bluntly.   
      
   "It's a fake job, pure and simple," he said.   
      
   He said selling jobs is illegal and it allows rule-breakers to jump the queue   
   on legitimate immigrants who play by the rules.   
      
   "Who gets hurt? The integrity of Canada's immigration program," said Kurland.

   Creating a paper trail   
      
   Song introduced CBC's undercover reporter to the "boss" of WonHonTa's head   
   office in Toronto, Xin Liu, who goes by the name Yuki.     
      
   However, Liu said it's not necessary to actually work for the company that   
   sponsored the applicant for immigration. She said WonHonTa will provide the   
   necessary documentation to make it look as though they did work there.   
      
   "If you don't work for the employer, we can ask him to issue a pay stub, but   
   it's not real pay," she wrote via WeChat. "Your paycheque is just for show.   
   Only to make the paper trail look good."   
   [---]   
      
   Liu assured CBC's undercover reporter that immigration officials are unlikely   
   to detect the scheme.     
      
   "For Immigration Canada, they are understaffed," Liu said. "The massive size   
   of the country makes it impossible to pull resources for site visits just to   
   find out if you are actually working at this company."
