Incidentally, when going through screening for a clearance, those who weren't born in Canada and/or with ties to an ethnic homeland face substantial scrutiny. Arguably far more than some of these individuals who are financially compromised.

After the US had several high-profile leaks to the Soviets in the 1970s and 1980s, financial considerations factored into screening of sensitive individuals much more prominently. If you had access to sensitive material and lived much better than your salary would seem to indicate, one definitely attracted more security interest after that.
That being said, we should thoroughly vet
anyone who might have a motivation and means to betray Canada.
As for the average immigrant? I hardly suspect they're secretly paving the way for a takeover from Nation X. Mostly trying to get by, just like the rest of us.
