In my province there was a similar program, Provincial Nominee Program or PNP, an immigrant would invest $200,000 in a local business plus give a $25,000 deposit to the provincial government and the immigrant investor's citizenship request would be fast-tracked.

After living here for a year they were supposed to get the deposit back, but they didn't.

Even worse is the majority of the people who benefited were the same politicians who set up the program.

Now it's a huge scandal and the police are involved, large amounts of money plus politicians and there's a scandal, imagine that!
