Lesbians shortage?

You are from a former Soviet country and you want to move to Canada? Not a problem! You can ask for the refuge in the country if claim ...YOU ARE LESBIAN or a Jew!

And that is exactly what my school girlfriend did to stay there (though she is not a lesbian and even not a bisexual but who cares:-)

At first she wanted to marry someone ...but the guy wanted 10 000 USD for this little favour. No way!

So her lawer advised her to claim that she is a lesbian! And ta-dam - it worked!

Do not get me wrong I'm really happy that her "childhook dream" came try and now she is Canadian resident! But WTF???? Is Canadian government so desperate for people to stay there? Any People? Or is it that there are too many single Lesbians who want to find solemates? Guess the answer will remain a mystery to me.
