Apparently there is a large ID fraud component attached as well, as there could be hundreds of people in Canada with the same Chinese name. It gets even more complicated when they adopt a North American name.

As far as the ease of approval, a huge chunk of dealer issued loans... probably 30% or more.... are never even seen by human eyes at the bank, and are system approved. I do not want to get into the specifics, as I am sure the banks don't want the info public, but there is huge holes foreigners have learned to exploit for this exact purpose. And they need to be plugged.

Lastly, many people get here from their home country, and either make their wad so they can go back and live like a king, or simply don't like the lifestyle and prefer their home country. Contrary to popular belief, not every single immigrant thinks the North American lifestyle is the cats ass.

Is a permanent resident able to use our health care system and schooling for free? Because most people I know here in China make their money in China and want to keep their Canadian status. Basically they just want the Canadian or American status for their kids to go to school and for t=when they get old and retire.
