They should only be able to buy homes as long as it’s their main residence and are working within the country

Foreign buyers should be permanently banned, unless they are going through the process of becoming Canadian citizens

Non-Canadian citizens cannot not buy or own property or land in Canada.
No instead you should only be allowed to purchase a home if you are a citizen and plan to live there or rent it out to other citizens

Yes, foreigners should not own land.
