The 2018 stats are gleaned from the CTV news report that came out last year. I am simply including them here for comparison purposes:
2018 total: 758
2019 total: 1544
The 2019 numbers are actually a touch lower than I was expecting, but there is no question that the VPD has started cracking down hard on VIs since Sept 2018, and is continuing with it to this date. |
I'd be interested to see the previous 5 years, going back to at least 2015, if not earlier like 2012. I remember not too long ago when you could go for a nice cruise thru Vancouver and not worry about getting a VI. It only seems like the last few years things got really bad.
