NO Speak English
A Russian woman married a Canadian gentleman and they lived happily ever after in Toronto .
The poor lady was not very proficient in English, but did manage to communicate with her husband.
The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries.
One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy chicken legs.
She didn't know how to put forward her request, so, in desperation, clucked like a chicken and lifted up her skirt to show her thighs.
Her butcher got the message and gave her the chicken legs.
Next day she needed to get chicken breasts, again she didn't know how to say it, so she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned her blouse to show the butcher her breasts.
The butcher understood again and gave her some chicken breasts.
On the 3rd day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages.
Unable to find a way to communicate this, she brought her husband to the store...

You lost me at Toronto, why wouldn't she just go to a Russian butcher? We have stores that cater to every nation you can think of, Russian being a big one actually.
Never mind that, just with the large number of immigrants here people just have to point and nod, no need to speak English.

Are they legal or illegal, or is that politically incorrect to ask?

In Toronto? Most are legal. Not hard to move to Canada. Especially after the Liberal Federal Government of the late 90s.

Ain't that the truth.
If you want to learn a second language in Toronto, take a taxi.
