Seems like that will just drive the foreign super rich to ‘buy’ citizenships too. With enough money and in-country fixers/ lobbyists, that’s usually not unobtainable in most countries.


I wonder if you'd eventually get a weird marriage for citizenship market from such legislation. Like say you are a modern millennial couple and both you and your partner don't care about the institution of marriage. Are you going to leave money on the table, or get a huge lump sum for both you and your partner to be legally married to some investors that you might never need to meet in person?


The downside is the requirement to stay in Canada during that time. Plenty of people don't want to do it so they commit fraud
