Even the Mainlanders are gone, don't forget there were used to be millions of Honger / Twanger immigrants who temporary left Vancouver, worked so hard in Asia while China is booming and now they are probably sick of the expensive tight living space with their young borns. They do have immediate right to abode, the crowd is unlikely be able to afford those monster houses in the 80-90s, but it will quickly fill the population again.
