is it possible to live in Canada without becoming a Canadian citizen - a sort of Special Resident or Retiree? Would you know the details, requirements & websites related to this? Thanks!!

Yes it is. I am landed immigrant and I own my own house. I have been here for over 30 years.
I also enjoy the same rights and privileges as a citizen e.i. health care, employment insurance
True I can't vote, but less then 30% of eligible voters do vote anyway !!

You do not have to be a citizen, just a 'resident'. Basically you just need to be allowed to live in Canada.
Talk to a real estate agent in the area you are looking. They will know all the specific rules (which vary somewhat from province to province).

yes, in fact it is considered something of a problem in some of the more picturesque small communities of Canada, where local families are being displaced by wealthy foreigners (Germans, Americans, Swiss, Chinese) who are buying land and driving up property values.
Of course, you cannot vote or enjoy the rights and privelages of being Canadian unless you are a citizen!
