Non-Residents

There are no particular restrictions to owning real estate in Canada. Mortgage financing must be arranged through a Canadian financial institution and you will need to hire a Canadian lawyer or notary public to complete the necessary mortgage documents and title registration. Non-residents are also subject to different tax rules so getting guidance from a Canadian accountant familiar with British Columbia real estate is essential. Don't worry, we can help you with those arrangements.
