It surprised me when I discovered that there were ceilings, that this option was available to employers outside Quebec. Quebec employers complain a lot about delays in the temporary foreign worker program. Incidentally, those are closed permits. If they had the option of having open permits, if they were hiring francophones, I think they'd jump at the chance. That doesn't mean it'll be easy for them to find francophones, but I'm sure they would jump at the chance.
