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.
