Wasn't the Vancouver property also fueled by some kind of citizenship granting process from purchasing property in excess of some price?

The Fed investor immigration program was canned, but there's still a backdoor in Quebec letting in millionaire immigrants, as Quebec manages their own investor immigrant scheme.

Nearly all of these millionaire immigrants to Quebec move to BC.

That is unfortunate. There's been a long history of provinces just screwing each other (Sask just recently put two homeless men on a bus to vancouver).I wonder why the federal govt doesnt have full jurisdiction on immigrant visas.
