Those exceptions -- for people who live and work in Canada but aren't citizens -- look to me like basic requirements for this to have any chance at being a reasonable policy. Excluding noncitizen permanent residents from home ownership would be a great way to make sure approximately zero high income (thus high tax) people want to migrate to Canada.

Nobody in Canada is buying property because of their high income. The top 1% doesn’t make enough for a house anywhere within an hour of Vancouver or Toronto. I don’t think income tax is really a factor here.
