If you're saying a million per year, that means you're counting international students. By definition, if they're coming here and paying our very-expensive tuitions, they're not going to be low-skilled for long.

The number of people who enter through immigration (incl. refugees) is more like 450k (for comparison, 2015 target under Harper was 270k), and about a third of those are refugees. Yes, there are criminals who exploit the refugee system. That's what it costs to be a decent person.
