A sensible policy would be to tie immigration levels to a four-year running average of housing starts. So 300k immigrants at 150-200k average housing starts in the last four years, 400k immigrants at 200-250k housing starts, 500k at 250-300k housing starts, etc.
I doubt it would be politically feasible, though.

Canada needs some kind of link between housing and immigration numbers....Apparently, nothing practical is also politically feasible though.
