Not all over them of course, but enough that it could be a problem.

A new CIBC Capital Markets report says the official number of non-permanent residents in Canada often cited by policymakers could be vastly underestimated.
The report says the actual number could be off by one million, meaning any policies around housing or those aimed at capping the number of non-permanent residents might be more urgent than previously thought.
Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC, says the significant gap is in part because the federal government does not have a system to track people with expired visas who continue to stay in the country.

There is also data in the U.S. that suggests 4.5 million illegals staying in the U.S. (or 42% of all illegals) are people who first entered the country on visas. It's a small percentage year-to-year, but it adds up over time. There is similar data online for Australia and the U.K. I'd be surprised if Canada is vastly different in that regard. For whatever reason, Canada doesn't seem to have a lot of publicly available data on it.
Also, it just seems odd that there would have to be an announcement that they will be asked to voluntarily leave. It should be implied without asking, and if something is an obligation, it shouldn't be considered voluntary.
