There is an entire neighborhood in Toronto that is populated by rich immigrants from South Asia that laundered or embezzled taxpayer money back home by abusing their political appointments. These people also get permanent residency and gradually obtain Canadian citizenship for all their family members over the course of many years, and finally when their misdeeds become public knowledge, they immediately bail out of the country and escape to Canada.

Canada’s merit-based immigration system is extremely easy to manipulate if you have a college degree, can speak English, and have enough money to show as evidence of financial solvency. No wonder a certain proportion of legal immigrants are essentially upper middle class opportunists from lower income countries.
