Restrictions would limit the ability of non-citizens to buy homes, aiming to keep housing prices affordable for local residents. Proponents argue that it helps maintain affordable housing for locals and prevents property speculation. Opponents argue that it deters foreign investment and can negatively impact the housing market.
@9TVPNXW6mos6MO
they should set a limit on the amount of land or properties a foreign investor can own
@B3K9X786 days6D
In this case, if it is done through creating problems and using illegal methods, then the government should restrict it based on the situation because it would harm the economy but there should also be monitoring by a single operation because too many hands on a single problem would cause a problem to spiral without fixing any issues.
@B2ZSZNS3wks3W
No, but add a significant "foreign buyers tax" to the purcahse price and a significant "vacancy tax" if the property remains vacant,
@B29ZVFC2mos2MO
If the domestic people have problem with purchasing a house, I think it's necessary for government to restrict it.
@9WYDMSD4mos4MO
Yes, no foreigner should be allowed to own property nevermind foreign investors who are causing our housing crisis with their speculation.
This is not a yes or no situation, as some foreign investment is necessary it should be regulated.
Yes, but buy a vacancy tax, if they want to leave it empty they can pay
@9TTDYHC6mos6MO
Quit focusing on foreign buyers and focus on corporate investments
@9T7CJZ66mos6MO
It doesn't need to be restricted but regulated better
@9T35SNQ6mos6MO
Ban foreign investors from buying residential property in Canada.
@9RXWPMM7mos7MO
Yes, and ban all foreign investors from buying residential property
@9RGCB9P8mos8MO
Yes but not fully restrict. Just add restrictions.
@9RD5G378mos8MO
Have a fairly steep non-resident tax for people who do not live in Canada
Restrict buying of residential properties by all investors
@B278T222mos2MO
It should be free for legal immigrants, but it should be prohibited or restricted for foreign traders
@9ZNZZY84mos4MO
Residential and rental properties should only be owned by Canadian residents, using Canadian banks for credit.
@9TC7PPGConservative6mos6MO
Yes, but perhaps the government should add vacancy taxes to foreigners until they are permanent residents.
