I followed until the "I would be offering to pay for their relocation costs if I were them." - That would/could never happen.

Countries can speed up immigration process, companies can pay relocation costs. Not the other way around.

Relocation costs in Canada are tax deductible (same as the US and many others), so essentially the country pays for it.

That doesn't mean Canada pays for them, it means that income spent on relocating is not taxed.

Yes, for Canadian citizens, relocating within a country.
