I sort of find that hard to believe, even though i know about 5 Calgarians who graduated high school with me living just in this city alone.

Completely untrue--and if you think about it, it doesn't make sense. There are 13 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. There are only 30 million or so people in Canada To make up even half of that number, that would mean that 20% of Canadians were illegal immigrants living in the U.S.
Besides, Canadians don't need an entry visa, and it's easy to get a work permit. Why would we become undocumented workers when it's so much easier to do things legally? Many mexicans become illegals because they feel that they have no other choice.
