On Ariel’s impetus, I researched whether or not I could become a Canadian. With 70 “points” necessary for admittance, I scored 72 (where points are awarded based on your age, education ,job, etc.).

Nothing too terribly interesting in that, save for the points awarded for “Demographic Factor”:

Factor 8: Demographic Factor

This is a number set by the Government of Canada. Award yourself 8 points.

Hmmm…couldn’t you just not do that, and lower the minimum requirement to 62 points? Then again, it’s not mine to question why…
