Home Prices: Increase Number and Canada

home prices: Immigration Minister John McCallum, according to Huffington Post Canada. Immigration Minister John McCallum met with officials in Beijing this week in an effort to increase the number of offices across China where nationals can obtain visas to Canada, to 10 from five, and eventually to as many as 15 offices, the Globe and Mail reported. The move, designed to give Canada economy a boost in the midst of a soft patch, comes as concerns grow that illicit cash from China is pumping up house prices, particularly in Vancouver. It part of an effort to increase the number of Chinese students and high-tech workers in the country and expand Chinese investment in Canada, even if that means adding to housing demand at a time of overheated home prices, as the Globe put it. He said the government is looking for the highest growth we can of tourists coming to Canada, of qualified foreign students who want to study in Canada. In terms of Chinese migration to Canada, we want to get it even bigger, McCallum said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
