That is by no means the entirety of the housing problem in Canada. Foreign ownership is a very small part of the Canadian housing market, and with no other measures, Canadian investors will happily scoop up foreign owned properties. I doubt this by itself will make a significant dent in the market. What we need is foreign ownership taxes / bans combined with heavy taxes on ownership of multiple single-family dwellings and townhouses.
