if the foreigners are not canadian citizens then yes they should be banned. We have a crisis and the cost of buying a home is unattainable for most canadians
@9K4MLQ8Conservative1yr1Y
if they get in trouble put them back on the boat, and i think it should be 3 years to make sure there going to stay.
After citizenship, they should be subjected to the same regulations and restrictions as the rest of canadians.

If they are unsure of how long they are staying; if they intend to stay for a longer period of time, then they should be able to buy a house as soon as possible.

Yes, but only if it is NOT their principal residence.
