Buying a Home
Buying a Home
The basics if you're thinking of buying.
Buying your first home
Mortgages, the down payment, land transfer tax, and first-time-buyer programs like the FHSA and Home Buyers' Plan.
Buying without PR: bans and extra taxes
Canada restricts home purchases by non-residents — a federal ban with exemptions, plus extra provincial taxes in Ontario and BC.
