You can purchase Canadian permanent residency for $800,000 through Quebec's Immigrant Investor Program. This has a big impact on Canadian tax policy because there is no way you can discriminate between foreign and domestic ownership - foreign investors can simply buy a PR card and avoid punitive taxation of foreigners.
