Flawed study that doesn't examine the economic impact of immigrants in our work force to do the jobs that other people won't do at the wages that are attractive to companies in Canada. So yes they do receive more government benefits (because of lower wages) and yes they usually work in lower paying jobs (therefore pay fewer taxes) because Canada is still poor at recognizing international accreditation but our overall economy and wealth would likely be much worse off without them and the net effect is probably positive.
Canada has an immigration policy like this because of our low population and low birthrate. The immigration policy is necessary to keep our economy working and keep businesses going.
