Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has vowed to place a two-year ban on foreign homebuyers if re-elected, in a bid to address housing affordability in Canada. The nation's housing market has soared during the coronavirus pandemic, up 16 percent year-over-year, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). The Liberal Party is one of three major parties focused on this central issue.

Only if they are buying for their own personal use for 6 months of each year unless they plan to become citizens. Not allowing them to use as rental property unless it’s used for homeless persons.
@B2WMF2R2mos2MO
Yes and ONLY Canadian citizens or permanent residents should be able to purchase residential homes or land forever.
@93LRN3M3yrs3Y
No but they should be limited to 1 house for their family and 1 house for a rental property if they choose.
@8Y8MGXR3yrs3Y
Yes, unless they intend on permanently living here.
@8VTJFBQ4yrs4Y
No, foreigners shouldn't be allowed to purchase a home unless they are a full time resident. Providing proof that they are indeed purchasing for their own personal use, not as a rental or income generator.
@9C7JDLS2yrs2Y
If they are using the properties to make money and as a source of income then move back to their country, yes they should be.
@9C76TP82yrs2Y
Screw rich people in other countries
@98VFGDC2yrs2Y
No, unless it is completely necessary
@B36RQXT2mos2MO
if it is for them to resell it or to just keep it empty I think no because we already have a problem with homelessness so we need more homes for the people who actually live here and not just using the home for vacations
