Real Estate in Canada is regulated provincially, so this guide is tailored to foreign buyers buying in Toronto, and surrounding areas.
The rules around foreigners buying real estate in Canada aren’t related to citizenship, so there’s no restriction on how much property or the type of property you can purchase.
However, it’s important to note that as of January 1, 2023, Canada has placed a 2-year ban on all purchases of Canadian real estate by foreign investors.
The ban prohibits foreign buyers from purchasing land, condos, single-family homes, or very small buildings in metropolitan areas of at least 100,000 people. That means some recreational properties, cottages, apartment buildings, and rural vacant land is not covered by the ban (but the single-family properties are subject to a foreign buyers tax).
Contrary to popular belief, the buyers who are purchasing single family homes like condos and homes are mostly students, permanent residents, family of Canadians (like parents, siblings, and cousins), as well as temporary workers.
