That is still a HUGE and likely erroneous assumption

Regardless, I see no problem with imposing restrictions that may be necessary for the system to provide the service for the people they intend to serve. If Canada is going to (righfully IMO) take in refugees that are being persecuted the system needs to be run with the intent of serving those people with Valid claims first and foremost. You don't want to be dealing with the bogus claims of family #1 at the expense of family #2's LIVES.

And that's the key IMO. When people start playing with the numbers a bit like you did you can lose sight of what the underlying reason for the system is (and when I say you I mena this as a global you type of thing). And that underlying reason is to save peoples lives. I'll not put a number on that.
