Sounds like there's need for catching (maybe with new laws) tax evasion as described.

But at the very least they will consume stuff and pay taxes there. I guess their stay is more like a prolonged vacation of some sort.

No doubt some of the tax evasion needs to be caught (where possible while maintaining a free market, I'm aware that may be a false dichotomy). However, there is little hope of anything being done in regards to the real estate situation given the state of Canada's current economy[1]. There's no incentive for the current governments (federal or provincial) to curb the trend.
