Pages we tried and could not open

The SAAQ, Service New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Yukon, Nunavut and a few other official sites, including some IRCC subpages and several news investigations on LMIA sales, blocked automated access or returned errors. We say so on the pages affected and do not rely on them. See how we research.
