I don't understand, but whata policy, eh?

TORONTO (CP) -- Immigration officers are having to pore through naked pictures of hundreds of exotic dancers to keep imposters out of Canada, a Toronto newspaper reported Tuesday.
Foreign strippers planning to table dance in clubs must now provide photos of themselves with no clothes on to qualify for a visa for Canada, said immigration officials.
"Stage photos during performances are required," said Sergio Mercado, of the Canadian Embassy in Mexico.
In a memo to fellow visa officers around the world, Mercado said if a dancer passes the no-clothes test, they may then require a police certificate or medical examination.
The potential dancers have to prove they can dance in the nude, immigration lawyer Mendel Green said Monday.
"They can't be partially nude," he said. "If they don't have pictures in the nude, they are not going to wiggle their bottoms in Canada."
