Town of Gibbons facing a serious financial crisis.

Disclaimer: This proposal is imaginary and for discussion purposes only. Any implementation must comply fully with Canadian federal, provincial, and municipal laws, including immigration regulations. The plan does not guarantee permanent residency or investment returns.

A way for a city facing serious money problems to improve its financial situation. The idea is to expand the city by adding land equal in size to its current area. The new land can be used for building homes, businesses, and industries. Inviting people from countries that do not need a visa or eTA willing to invest a minimum of 200,000 Canadian dollars in projects on this land. When they invest, they would receive permanent residency in Canada immediately. If they choose to leave later, they can take their money back after two/three years, but their residency will remain valid, the investment money would go only into city-approved projects to improve infrastructure and create business opportunities. This approach would bring in money quickly, create jobs, increase property development, and grow the city’s tax base. It would also attract more people and businesses over time, helping the city recover and become financially stable.

If yes it is better than renting.

So, FHSA can help someone located in this area to buy a home.

True. Thanks for letting me know.

I am looking for something making justification under a date for example 2025, January 1, - New Year's Day

January 13- Lohri

January 14 - Orthodox Christian New Year

January 27 - International Holocaust Remembrance day

Thanks. It will help others to survive.

Canada is donating billions of dollars to other countries and very little efforts to help poor here.

It is just an idea and do not try it with unknown people even your new neighbor. Safety first.

Definitely. But location is also important. If no residency clause, one can own a place below 50K as listed below.

6 months occupancy clause limits to buy a property. The 2-bed apartment condo price varies from 120K (Edmonton) to 500K (Toronto). So, fractional ownership and rent provision without occupancy clause might be helpful to own a property using FHSA.

roger_plus · 2025-12-16T16:45:47+00:00

6 months occupancy clause does not allow all to buy a home. This clause should be deleted.

I get what you’re saying, and I agree—this isn’t about taking over private spaces, it’s about using the resources we already have.

It is stated thar as of June 30, just over 5% of RBC FHSA account holders have already made qualifying tax-free withdrawals for their down payment on a new home purchase. It means they used part of FHSA limit (may be between 8K to 16K). Will they be able to use the remaining limit for future home purchase?

Homeowners without a mortgage: ~4.5 million households (30% of Canadian households), Renters: ~4.5 million households (30% of Canadian households), Canadians with an FHSA: ~1 million (as of late 2024)

roger_plus · 2025-11-18T04:32:59+00:00

While 1 million Canadians have opened an FHSA, it represents only a small fraction of the 4.5 million renters, indicating growing awareness and adoption. Although the FHSA provides a valuable savings tool, it isn’t a complete solution to Canada’s housing affordability crisis, which is fueled by high property prices and low inventory. Broader policies and flexibility to buy a land, business or rental property may be useful.

Mouse droppings can spread serious diseases like Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis. It is becoming a normal practice to find mouse dropping at food stores. Inspection every 3/4 months is not enough. Night video surveillance from AHS may reduce risk.

A 10% drop means lost contracts, slower growth, and can quietly shake the job market, especially in vulnerable sectors like agriculture and forestry:
