The standard notice that appears in Canadian ads should be
interpreted as such: "if we don't think the Canadian candidates
are up to snuff, we'll review foreign applications in a second
round."

Foreigners should _indeed_ apply to Canadian jobs, since they
get them all the time.  I speak as someone who's a Canadian and
has been been passed over for better-qualified foreigners many
times: I can cite jobs at University of Northern British
Columbia, University of Toronto, and University of Calgary, and
there certainly have been others.
