Canada

Toronto and Vancouver — note the federal ban on foreign purchases of residential property.

Overview

Canada is a stable, well-regulated market; however, foreign buyers currently face significant restrictions on residential purchases.

Property market

Toronto and Vancouver are the largest markets.

Foreign ownership

The federal Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act restricts most foreign purchases of residential property (currently extended). Confirm current status.

Residency & citizenship

Residency options

Canada's federal immigrant investor program is closed. Business-immigration routes such as the Start-up Visa are separate from property ownership.

Citizenship options

Canada does not operate a citizenship-by-investment program that we list. Property ownership does not confer citizenship.

Program rules, eligibility, investment thresholds and immigration requirements may change. Information is for general guidance and does not constitute legal, immigration, tax or investment advice.

Taxes & costs

Land transfer taxes apply; some provinces levy additional taxes on non-resident buyers.
