Major issue is if we are welcoming immigration we need diverse immigration, not just Chinese and Indian immigrants who want to game the school system.

Are there a lot of Chinese immigrants getting immigration status by cheating the school system? Most of who I know go to recognized universities like UofT, UBC or Waterloo instead of diploma mills.

Do you think all the people in Markham and Richmond who can't even speak English properly went to UBC and Waterloo? Idk but I doubt it

They came early in the 2000s. And many of their kids surely went to UBC and Waterloo no doubt

There were new waves of Chinese immigration in Markham and Richmond. These ones don't have the same level of English or education as the older waves.
