1. So, it's a mere 1% of the population/year, in a country that has below-replacement fertility.
2. Of course you shouldn't count foreign students or temporary workers, they get counted if they choose to stay. If you were counting them, as well as immigrants, you'd be double-counting the same people.
3. I didn't realize that the singular suburb of Vancouver called Richmond, BC (Population: 216,000) can be referred to as 'several cities'.
4. Why does a young[1], educated[2] person moving into the country in the prime of their life 'put an enormous strain on everything'? Would you care to elaborate? To me, it seems like a gift of all the costs of early-life childcare, plus the cost of a K-12-post-secondary education from their country of origin.
