You can purchase Canadian permanent residency for $800,000 through Quebec&#x27;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. There are still foreigners in the normative sense of the word, as in they don&#x27;t and have never lived in Canada, but in the eyes of the law, they are the same as an permanent immigrant.
