Common example. Person comes in. Work permit granted (2 yr). Goes to get SIN card (2 yr). Works 5 days, and then quits because his boss is a meanie pants.

This is true.

Another fun fact is that most people do not intentionaly crash their vehicles into other people... By your logic, this would mean that nobody does this, and should never be questioned.
