> Uniquely Quebec manages its own immigration (let's not get into it) and they have an investor immigration scheme that essentially sells citizenship for a pittance. Of course since persons have freedom of movement there's nothing stopping persons who buy citizenship in Quebec for moving to Vancouver, which almost all of them do.

Most every province seems to have some sort of provincial nominee program in place for granting permanent residence. They're just not usually designed for investors.

Example of Ontario: https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontario-immigrant-nominee-progra...

I went through the program (I'm a PR now).

It takes many years, and then many years again to get citizenship. You have to work, etc. It's not even close to the same as the old "investor" program which was literally buy citizenship if you are rich.
