Yes, if they pay taxes and are currently in the process of becoming a Canadian citizen. Onky in those circumstances

it depends on how long they are planning to stay because it could help them in the long run but not in the short run

Yes, but only after living in the country for 3 years. I think it would be enough time to recognize nature of life in Canada.
