In 2019 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proposed a 1% tax on resident non-Canadians. The proposal’s goal is to prevent foreign buyers from driving up the cost of real estate for residents. British Columbia currently levies a 2% speculation tax and Ontario levies a 15% tax. Opponents argue that the current spike in real estate prices is due to the strong domestic economy instead of investments from foreigners.

I believe that if you simply don't live in Canada, nor are a permanent resident, and or on a student and work visa, you shouldn't be able to purchase property above a certain amount as it simply isn't fair to Canadians who live here and can't afford or purchase a house due to this.

Non-residents who have lived here a certain amount of time should be able to purchase a home without penalty as long as they choose to live in the home and not rent it out.
