It just got tougher to take Quebec’s back door into Vancouver and Toronto real estate
It says it did this on Wednesday but this is the first I'm hearing about it. Must've missed this on the news or not notice it in any papers.

Quebec has also introduced stricter requirements when it comes to the selection of candidates, said Vancouver immigration lawyer Richard Kurland.
In an email to Global News, he said applicants will likely be rejected if they have relatives outside Quebec, if they have a child attending a school outside the province and if they have owned any property in Canada outside la belle province.
“Plus, if you have travelled to Canada but not Quebec, the case is eyed with suspicion,” Kurland wrote
With changes like these in place, Kurland expected the “trampoline effect” from Quebec to B.C. and Ontario to reduce by adjusting “intake.”
He also expected that Quebec would address “output” by “ramping up enforcement of cases where the person left Quebec at the time the person tries to renew their permanent resident card.”
Kurland said such a person many find themselves “gummed up in immigration processes for failure to locate in Quebec.
“And that would send a signal, if your plan is to apply here and move there, it won’t work.”.

I remember talking about this many pages back about the investors coming in through Quebec and then instantly jumping ship to a more desirable province when they should be staying in Quebec where they applied to go or to have limits to which province they can go to. Resulted in someone saying something along the lines of that would never happen, you cant restrict someone from living in Canada etc etc. Looks like it might be a slight baby step in that direction.
