Or a bunch of vegetables and sell them?
They don’t want you
Are you an especially experienced crop farmer?
When I was a kid used to farm hay and stuff. But picked up a knack for gardening. I don’t know if someone invented before me but a miniature hot house per plant. Instead of one giant one.
In one of the trailer park boys movies, Ricky steals recycling bins for individual grow boxes.
Historically, garden cloches were invented in the 1600s. Which is essentially a mini hot house.
Why would you consider this if you’re trying to mass produce a crop though?
Sounds like it would be a pretty serious uphill battle
In order to sell pot in Canada, you would need a license from the Federal government.
Growing and selling vegetables would mostly depend on local By-laws.
You’ll have multiple issues there; none insurmountable.
First, moving to Canada. Do you have citizenship or Canadian ancestors? Are you a persecuted minority from a war torn nation? You already indicated you aren’t entering the country based on wealth or needed skills.
Second: working in Canada. Once you’ve moved here, you’ll need to get a work permit, a social insurance number, and get registered to pay personal and business taxes.
Which brings us to the next bit: you’ll need to register a business and pay the licensing fees. If you’re planning to farm, you’ll need permits and inspections and a business plan for that as well.
By this point you’re likely down to around $100k remaining. You MIGHT be able to find a decent trailer to buy for that price. But then you have to park it somewhere. Where I live, a couple of acres will run you around $5million CAD. But there’s lots of places out in the middle of nowhere where you can get a couple of acres for around $30k. That comes with no services however; you’ll need to bring everything you need from electricity and water to Internet and food. And likely you’ll need to pay someone with a skidder to build you a road to that acreage. And you’ll be in a place with very few people, -40 temps in the winter and hottemps in the summer with mosquitoes and black flies in swarms. And likely you’ll be outside a fire district, so the next wildfire that sweeps through will wipe you out.
Well my …forget how many greats moved from the old country and landed in Canada. Became a citizen then left to new york to fight in the civil war. Does that count?
My partner got her citizenship through ancestry, though we had a relatively easier time finding evidence since 1/4 of her family is québécois.
You’ll have to dig up every document to prove your line of ancestry back to Canada. Word of mouth is not enough, they’re looking for certified birth/death/baptismal records. If your ancestry comes from Quebec, this means possibly parsing through liturgical French
Be warned that the cost and processing times for these have skyrocketed recently. The cost for a record from the BANQ went from around $30 to close to $300 iirc
It might? As long as you’ve got documentation.
