An individual who leaves one region to profit from the economic prosperity of another region. Generally, economy leeches have no marketable skills and and therefore contribute very little to the well being of their new environment. They arrive in droves and their presence usually results in a steep increase in rent prices. Economy leeches usually appear disoriented in traffic, and can be identified by their out-of-province license plates and their constant whining about social problems, which they themselves have caused.
In Alberta, economy leeches are sometimes called Buffalo Hunters, in reference to the 19th European settlers who raped and pillaged the bison population of the prairie provinces for their precious hides.

I was totally late to work today. I was driving behind some newfie economy leech who drove 20 under the limit because he didn't know where he was going.

Someone with absolutely no originality, who tries their hardest to mimic everything cool they see in you, seeking to be seen by others the way they see you.
Girl: "Who's that guy you brought to the party? He seems cool and interesting."
Guy: "He wants you to think that. He's just a personality-leech."
Girl: "How lame. Nevermind."

A person who tries to "fit in" with a clique/group that they do not belong in. They cling unto you and won't go away easily, hence the name leech. A social leech follows the clique/group wherever they go, even if they don't pay any attention to him/her and give hints for the leech to leave. Most social leeches worship preps and will buy preppy clothes in a desperation to fit in. Similar to a poser, but more annoying.
Prep 1: Omigod, look at mandy. Why is she hanging around us?
Prep 2: Man, shes such a social leech. I wish that hoe would leave
