Investment property: Canada
We act on the buyer's side: shortlist, checks, end-to-end deal support.
Canada is a mature, expensive market centered on Toronto and Vancouver, but right now it is largely closed to non-residents. A federal ban on foreigners buying residential property has been in force since 2023 and has been extended to January 1, 2027. Exceptions exist: certain holders of work and study permits, some property types, and locations outside major metropolitan areas. On top of the ban, Ontario and British Columbia levy foreign buyer taxes of 20-25% of the purchase price. Canada has no residency or citizenship program tied to property purchases and never has. The honest conclusion: if you do not fall under an exception, a residential purchase should wait; commercial real estate is not covered by the ban.
Our work on Canada starts with checking your status: whether you qualify for an exception to the ban and which taxes would apply to your deal. If a purchase is possible, we shortlist properties, verify title and encumbrances, manage the transaction with local counsel, and help structure ownership with Canadian non-resident taxation in mind. If it is not possible, we say so plainly and suggest either waiting out the ban or looking at the commercial segment or other markets.
