There is still the immigration-by-visa route, no? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Immigrant_Investor_Program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Immi

  "With the passing of Economic Action Plan 2014 Act (Bill C-31) on June 19, 2014, the program was terminated and undecided applications were cancelled."

  No. Out of all the provinces, territories, and federal immigration schemes, only Quebec still has an immigration by investment program, and they have changed it to make it super difficult. It's no longer enough to just have or invest large amounts of money. One has to score enough points from a selection grid, which for example requires B2-ish level in French. The language component alone disqualifies most of the people who benefited from the original program and the current prospective applicants. https://www.quebec.ca/en/immigration/immigrate-business/investors/conditions https://www.quebec.ca/en/immigration/immigrate-business/inve...

    It goes beyond that: https://www.quebec.ca/en/immigration/immigrate-business/investors/applying https://www.quebec.ca/en/immigration/immigrate-business/inve... Applications have been on hold for a while now, with no talk of re-opening it. There is no active immigrant investor program in Canada. There are several other immigration paths open to many skilled tech professionals, but the details of one's specific situation matter greatly and it is quite far from open immigration.

  It's super easy to grant your kids Canadian citizenship, just give birth there.
