OK, but I thought you tried to say that illegals use Europe as a resting point before they go to Canada:
"Europe has no real control on there immigration policies, they are being over run by refugees and non-skilled immigrants and Europe is widely used as a resting spot until they can come to North America."

And besides, you moved here didn't you so that is two people you know. And there is nothing wrong with that at all. I am assuming you entered Canada through the proper procedures and are a contributing member of society. That is what Canada needs.....we need more people like you.

Well, I have never been to Canada so its only one person
What I am trying to say, Canada is not primarily on radar when people from here want to move out. I am not saying its not happening, of course it is but I would bet that the number of Eastern Europeans that would illegaly overstay in Canada would be neligible compared to other nationals.

How many of them were EU citizens? Of course if you are from a war torn country you will do anything to just move away. Trust me, the situation in Eastern EU countries is not that bad people would want to move out desperately.
As table5 said, try visit places like Prague, you will be amazed.

The UK was worried before they lifted the visa requirements (I dont need a passport there, simple ID is enough and I can work there without any restrictions if I wanted to) and what happened? Nothing special, immigration grew (mainly Poles) but nowhere near fearmongerers thought it will. Other countries soon followed UK lead, and now only Germany and Austria have strict restrictions for people from Eastern EU countries to live/work there.
