Also, the worst part of your rant before relating to "druggies and criminals and cabbies". Cabbies eh? You do know many cab drivers have university level degrees from their home country, but that those degrees are not really transferable here right? You think immigrants decide to come over to Canada because they want to be a ####ing cab driver? And like US Tea Partiers who fear every non-white, non-Christian person, you want to drive away the people who do all the jobs nobody here wants to do (like drive a cab?).

I'm not assuming that a large chunk will be useless. I know that its just a small chunk, but anything that we can do to reduce in numbers that small chunk is ok with me.
As for cab drivers with university degrees, I'm sure a number of them do (however I do think that in most cases its an urban myth)... but thats the problem... their university degree is useless because obviously its not recognized in Canada.. therefore they are essentially unskilled. I'd rather have a machinist come here that can practice his trade than a lawyer who cannot and is unskilled at anything else.
