Should foreigners be banned from buying homes in Canada for 2 years?

If Foreigners have primary status and don’t own multiple homes for the rent economy but actually live in their communities then they should be allowed to buy a home as any Canadian citizen can.

They must be living in the home and have it as their main residence and not be renting out to others and also must be a citizen

If they have permanent residence then no

Yes, only is they’re buying to rent out to other individuals

Only if it’s their primary residence

Foreigners who plan to move into the country should not be banned, rather, foreigners who are using the Real Estate market with the goal of making a profit should not be allowed to purchase homes. (Ideally we would stop land ownership as a whole)

Yes, unless they live here

only if they are preventing Canadians from buying houses

No, but only if it is their primary residence.

Only if they won't be living there

If this is their primary residence no if it is a vacation home or a building for which they plan to rent then yes

Yes for investment property

Given the situation that the population of Canada and the land of Canada, I think it’s still good for people buy land. Unless it is crowded then it’s a different story.

No but they should be limited to 1 house for their family and 1 house for a rental property if they choose.

I feel like it really depends. As you don't want rich foreigners buying all the houses as a way to preserve their money and sell it later. But you don't want foreigners who are trying to move here to be homeless for two years unless this doesn't apply to apartments and such.

No, but not till they are actually moving to Canada

They should be allowed to purchase homes if there are paying taxes to the federal government

Only if it is NOT their primary residence, because then they obviously see it as an investment.

Yes, but only for more than one property.

Yes, unless they intend on permanently living here.

Foreigners should be able to buy homes in Canada, but must not be able to purchase another for at least 2 years.

Stop foreign buyers that do not plan on living in the address from taking homes from locals.

Every family should be limited to owning 1 living space for the first 2 years

Stipulations. Regulations.

If they are rich, yes. If they are a family starting anew, no.

Only Canadian citizens should be able to buy Canadian real estate

Yes if they will not be living in it.

No but make sure a background check is done

Depends on the purpose of purchasing

No, as long as they have intent to move into the house, if not then out of market buyers should be banned from purchasing and holding houses.

Owner occupied only. No investment properties

regulate how many homes people are buying

regulating the market to allow for both domestic and foreign buyers

Foriengers should never be permitted to purchase homes in Canada. Only Citizens and Residents who have lived in Canada 5+ years should be permitted to do so. Should Residents move out of Canada they should have to sell their homes in Canada.

Yes, and foreigners living outside of Canada should never be allowed to buy houses in Canada.

Yes, and they should be banned permanently

only if they are buying them to rent and turn a profit, if it is just to live here then that is excellent.

Foreigners purchasing homes in Canada is only a small portion of the issue. All houses that are being purchased for investment purposes rather than to live in should be limited not just foreign buyers.

there should be a fee or tax so they pay more

Only if they plan on living there

Not banned but placed on a hold, they can live in apartments and bigger condos but for full houses should be held for 2 years

As long as this is their only place of residence, no

Any immigrant who has the money should be able to buy a house as long as they are able to pay their mortgage

If they live here in the house no. But if they are buying the house to shelter their money and don’t live in it then yes.

Ban foreign ownership forever.

No, unless they have a high net worth/income.

There should be limitations on foreign buyers, not outright ban.

ban foreign investment

they should be screened for why they are purchasing

Unless they plan to live in the home, foreign buyers should be disincentivized from buying real estate in Canada through buyer and vacancy taxes.

Only if it isn’t their residence

they can buy a house if they intend to live there

No, if they are purchasing to live in the home

I feel there should be enough housing to have Canadians and foreigners have a chance.

No but the cost/tax for owning a home in Canada and not living in it and letting it sit empty should be raised for the wealthy

Yes, unless they're full Canadian citizens
