The nation with an over abundance of room happens to be the nation that makes it difficult to obtain citizenry. Smart in many ways. But generic rules always fall short in unique situations. Oh well, the rules still stand eh?
Have an idea for obtaining citizenry: "Workers who want to obtain permanent residency in Canada can do so through any of several programs, including the following:
.................................................. .....
Self-employed people who work in cultural or athletic activities, or as a farmer."
It would seem that buying a farm would meet that credential. Am I right?

Aside from the fact that three quarters of the territory is not habitable nor easily accessible and it already belongs to other people or establishments anyway, the nation having an abundance of territory has nothing to do with whether or not people can obtain citizenship.

Depends on what you would be committed to doing with the property. I notice you said in your other thread that you're 59 and you want to retire to Canada and live a quiet, simple and apparently unproductive life. So if you weren't working or providing employment for other people then what would you bring to the table that would be your contribution to the nation and to Canadian society that would make you more qualified to live in Canada? Simply buying and retiring to a piece of property that used to be somebody else's established farm wouldn't entitle anyone to permanent residency or citizenship. Would you be prepared to change your retirement plans and continue to develop and work the property as a functioning, productive farm?

I have four small businesses and am quite productive. I meant that I wasn't hoping to find a regular job there. One thing I have learned for sure, this is no country for old men. Job applications have gone nowhere though I am sure they don't like 25 years of being self employed...running the same small business.
If Canada doesn't want me, no hard feelings. The world is a big place and I am not a big Trudeau fan to be honest. His time at the top will close of course.
There are many farmer class immigrants to Manitoba, which, I'm sure, is not where you would want to live. There is nothing that prevents people from immigrating to a province under the provincial nominee system and then leaving for another province although I don't see how an investor immigrant would want to do that - invest in a less popular province and then sell in order to go somewhere else. It doesn't seem like that would mean anything but losing money.
Land prices have been going through the roof in all the western provinces for a while now (I'm a farmer).
I got repped for my marriage answer... which I'm taking as a proposal.
Proposal, proposition, take your pick...
