And no other problems will stem from tripling the rate of immigration.

Dude where are you getting your estimates that there are only a few thousand(credit for acknowledging that a few hundred wasn’t going to be close) logistics(transportation) jobs that are unfilled?
Most conservative estimates would put the number of vacant trucker positions at well over 20,000.

Last year we had close to 1 million vacant jobs and the majority of those jobs are positions that are often filled by new Canadians.
140,000 vacant jobs in food service and hospitality
78,500 vacant jobs in manufacturing, retail etc
Over 80,000 vacant jobs in the construction industry
Over 150,000 in healthcare and social services

It should be noted that a lot of gig jobs(guess who work those?) probably aren’t very well reflected in these numbers and that there’s also probably a large chunk of the people who are immigrating here that are families so determining feasibility would require a little more than just directly comparing the total number of immigrants/refugees to the total number of job available.
