I only hope that this 340000 are people with skills and wherewithal s to afford the lower mainland and not just refugees.

Agreed! Due to strain on our social system we should honestly not be letting seniors in unless they are experts in their fields or pay a fee.
We should also only be letting in hard workers.
I think America is crazy not to have a program where illegal immigrants earn citizenship through 1 year working on wall work camps.
We should definitely have a similar program where healthy strong workers can come and work a year at a severely reduced wage to earn citizenship from army, infrastructure projects, tree planting, etc. During the programs they would also receive English, Canadian law, and cultural lessons. We should be stealing every nations best workers! And honestly citizenship you earn is much more precious.
