Why not try to get people to live in Halifax, Lethbridge, Moncton, etc. As it stands, it seems like all economic activity is centered around BC and the GTA.

I can imagine that many immigrants may want the safety net of an established community of other migrants from the same country.
As far as prices go, places like Halifax are already seeing out of control rises in prices. Part of it may be related to supply chains and material costs. But Canada is already at the point where most cities can no longer accommodate the existing populations.
I do agree with you that Canada needs to encourage growth in new cities. It's also a question of our undirected educational system too. Canada does very little to encourage people to educate themselves in fields in proportion to job demand.
