Without knowing anything about it I would be inclined to guess that the
benefits and protections set out by the Charter apply only to citizens
and landed immigrants in Canada and that others are basically subject
to the whims of government.  I am not trying to justify that attitude
I'm only guessing at the likely rationale used.  It also seems to be
the case (at least here and in the US and historically Europe) that
when it comes to collecting taxes all your other "rights" seem to recede
into the background as far as the government is concerned.
