While the property thing has never really struck me as a large deal (money will always continue to be poured into the Vancouver housing market, no matter where it comes from), I am against the number of foreign students who come to Canada, learn a higher education, and immediately head back to their home countries. This is especially true with those from China and Hong Kong. It just seems they're taking an education that could have otherwise gone to a Canadian who can make an impact here at home rather than taking skills abroad and losing an 'investment' so to speak. I know a fair chunk of "flighters" who showed up, took all the courses, didn't contribute anything to Canadian society, and high-tailed it out of here. That sort of thing bugs me, although I may be alone on this.
