I know that there are thousands of people doing this successfully every day. I just can't imagine why anyone would be dumb enough to actually state this openly to an officer at the border.
Sure, some officers would let it slide.
Besides ... these same people avail all possible benefits that we Candians get. The difference is that they don't pay single penny in Tax. We pay from our pockets.
In the name of Friendship, person will let them use the address for all official communication.

The Govt. must be making a lot of $$ from these fake PR applicants - a lot of these folks will eventually lose their PR status and the govt. gets to keep the cash.
If the Canadian govt. really believed that the country needs these immigrants, they would tighten the residency requirements.
