The Liberals are projected to win more of Parliament’s 343 seats than the Conservatives, though it wasn’t clear yet if they would win an outright majority, which would allow them to pass legislation without needing help.
Generally speaking, the highest-scoring applicants get in first. If that fails, maybe there’s some niche provincial program or something, but you’ll probably need to hire an immigration lawyer to have a chance of figuring it out. Here’s a link I found on the other options.
If you do get let in, I recommend driving up in an RV. The housing market in Canada is still really fucked, and that’s a decent fallback option. Winter-safe ones exist, but I also see people building little insulated enclosures, and if you can manage to afford BC it’s not much of an issue there anyway.
“Build, baby, build” is something Carney has pledged to do. I would like to see the return of government built housing for low income families. These were not “slums”. They were built for hard working people that didn’t enjoy high incomes. My son-in-law’s mother was lucky enough to get a unit in one of these places. It’s a well run place for retirees on a fixed income, and rent is based on income. New buildings won’t mean anything if the wealthy are building and running them (and charging rents). Send a respectful letter to your new government pointing this out!
Honestly, slums themselves meet that description. People who don’t need them just dislike having to look at or think about them, which is hella elitist.

You know, the actual quantitative evidence is pretty strong that particular market is competitive. If anything, being a landlord is a relatively bad investment of a million dollars. I fully expect that if the NIMBYs don’t derail it, more supply will end the problem.
I’d very much appreciate any correspondence you have on the matter. Thank you!
It’s actually gotten really complicated lately, sorry about that. Here’s the quiz for express entry: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/check-score.html
