We are allowing in huge numbers of people OUTSIDE of the formal immigration system.  It seems they are primarily from China, but maybe from elsewhere as well.  They come in under Justin's 1 million long-term "visitors" visas, buy property, have a baby or two, and have effectively immigrated to Canada, thus jumping the queue.  They are largely without English or French (I don't expect instant fluency, but it would be good to ensure some ability), and they don't need English in Vancouver, Toronto, and some other pockets elsewhere.  Could the Globe please let us know (1) how many have "immigrated" this way? (2) How many such visas remain open, i.e. how many more are coming? (3) Whether this is limited to China, or open to others, and if so, what are the numbers?  {I hope for fairness that it is open to other nations.}   (4) What are the conditions under which such quasi-immigrants live here  (income tax? medical care {supposedly not, but if they call 911??}? ability to work?)?
