Edit: Okay, so non-citizens cannot buy residential property in census metropolitan areas or census agglomerations. A lot of rural areas are unaffected by the ban, including major tourist areas - Whistler, Banff, and Jasper.
Right now the law is set to expire in January 2025, but I would be surprised if it wasn’t renewed, it’s a pretty popular measure. Though I guess it doesn’t apply if you’re in the middl of butt fuck nowhere.
But you still can’t purchase property without a PR or citizenship (as of January 2023).
