A visitor visa is not legal immigration.

I had to state the countries I visited for the past 10 years. Jobs I had for 10 years,purpose etc when I applied for a visa. CBSA also did background checks on me, called one of my employers for verification. I figured all these by access to information reports later on out of curiosity.

How did this guy get a pass with CBSA ?

He had a fake French passport. French citizens (along with many other nationalities) do not need a visa to travel to Canada.

i guess you applied for a work visa, he applied for a visitor visa.

and yes, a visitor visa is legal immigration for a certain timeframe, after which you overstay your visa.

you still legally immigrated, your charge will be overstaying your visa, not related to your immigration at all.

Visitor visas still require the 10 years of work history if you are not from a visa-exempt country (like France).
