Yes

 @9HJ92DYfrom Ontario disagreed…4mos4MO

Where will they live? If we force them to live in government housing they will likely not have the same care as other people living in Canada.

 @9G2PHMTfrom Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

 @9FKT43Xfrom Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

Everyone is equal, has equal rights and should have equal spending rights. No matter your sex, race or even sexuality it must be equal.

 @9FDPSQC from British Columbia disagreed…6mos6MO

The foreign would use our land to do a few illegal things in their home country, like buying a house and live with a long time without migrating.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

No

 @9G2PHMTfrom Ontario agreed…6mos6MO

If you moved to another country would you appreciate having to spend more than a local? not at all, so what would be the point of doing it here?

I think it depends on the situation. What are their intentions. Living in the bought home? or using it for real estate business purposes. Not banned but focus on their intent

 @8VL9XF9from British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Wealthy foreigners using Canadian real estate markets to park money in a way that effects prices for domestic buyers should be banned.

 @9L3WN3Zfrom British Columbia answered…5 days5D

There should be proof that those who are buying homes are intending to live and STAY in Canada for the foreseeable future and should not be able to buy a home as a second residence or to rent it out and homes should be reserved for those who want to live and stay in Canada.

 @9KZ78YLfrom Ontario answered…1wk1W

Yes, foreign buyers should be banned from buying homes in Canada if they do not reside in Canada full-time.

 @9KG9KSMfrom Montana answered…4wks4W

Yes. Foreigners shouldn't be able to buy a house in Canada at all. They must first have Canadian citizenship. Canada's houses are for Canadians but of course, foreign workers need a place to live but they should be forced to rent.

 @9KBFTYW from British Columbia answered…1mo1MO

Yes, there should be no wholly foreign entities allowed to own homes in Canada. Homes are for residents, not tourists or foreign corporations to make money.

 @9K6HR9Kfrom Ontario answered…1mo1MO

Depends on the minorities, and i believe most of them should be deported. (Non-asian Races and including whole whites.)

 @9K4MLQ8Conservativefrom Ontario answered…1mo1MO

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.

 @9K3M7XPfrom Ontario answered…1mo1MO

If they have Canadian citizenship or long enough visas , they have a right to buy their own properties

 @9K29PN7Libertarianfrom Ontario answered…1mo1MO

I personally don’t think any foreigners should be able to buy any more of our land and housing. We’re in a crisis, and we need to take a serious look at how we got here.

 @9JZV4G6Conservativefrom Ontario answered…1mo1MO

If you don't live here, stop having that access. If you aren't living here at least 6 months at a time, you cannot buy.

 @9JVVDNVfrom Saskatchewan answered…2mos2MO

No, but this shouldn't apply to foreigners or businesses or anyone else that buy up a lot of homes to rent them out

 @9JVMSMPLiberalfrom British Columbia answered…2mos2MO

i think it depends on what their citizenship status and their income is and if they have a permanent residence or a student visa then they should be allowed to buy houses

 @9JVK6WJfrom Pennsylvania answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only if it is their primary residence and there should be pricing regulations so that it doesn't effect Canadians

 @9JQFBF3Liberalfrom Nova Scotia answered…2mos2MO

They shouldn't be limited but there needs to be restrictions in order to prevent housing prices from skyrocketing

 @9JLGXLFfrom British Columbia answered…2mos2MO

I think foreigners should have zero rights in Canada. Because they are illegal so we should not support them.

 @9JHLD6Jfrom British Columbia answered…2mos2MO

Rewording of the above; Yes, they should be banned except for cases where it is their primary residence (and this should be rigorously confirmed)

 @9JHHFFYNew Democraticfrom Ontario answered…2mos2MO

After citizenship, they should be subjected to the same regulations and restrictions as the rest of canadians.

 @9JC6BKVfrom Ontario answered…2mos2MO

The issue must lie somewhere in the banking system or zoning laws. If house flipping is happening it means there's economic space and justification for it provided it's profitable, but it may be profitable for the wrong reasons (i.e. being able to draw off the equity or some other systemic issue). It should be possible to expand outward with lower cost housing provided the system is designed in a sensible way that doesn't encourage winner-take-all scenarios.

 @9J3MCV5answered…2mos2MO

I think hardly any immigrant would have money to buy a house right after coming to Canada. It would take at-least two or more to actually build finances to get a house in the current housing market. So the focus should be on finding a middle ground for these kind of policies.

 @9J2KMBTfrom Ontario answered…3mos3MO

Any person should be allowed to buy a home as long as they have been asked standard background check questions to make sure they are suitable to buy a home.

 @9HV2FD5from British Columbia answered…3mos3MO

Foreigners should be banned until they become Permanent residents. They shall not use home for rental income and should not be able to flip home for profit.

 @9HLHYFVfrom Nova Scotia answered…4mos4MO

no but only if it is going to be there primary residence, if it is not going to be there primary residence then yes not buying a home for a least 2 years

 @9H9BR43from Quebec answered…4mos4MO

Yes. foreigners should not be able to buy homes in Canada unless they become citizens and is not resold to a foreign business etc.

 @9H4KC4Kfrom Ontario answered…4mos4MO

People moving to Canada who aren't from here should absolutely be allowed housing, but if the uber-wealthy are abusing their power to buy mansions all around the world while making it harder for residents to afford housing, that should be taxed or monitored in some way.

 @9G9VSBWfrom Nova Scotia answered…5mos5MO

canadian citizens should be prioritized in more primary residence while imigrants and foreigners live in more temporary homes
