International Investor FAQs

Can foreigners buy property in Toronto?

Yes. Canada allows non-residents to buy real estate, including condos, homes, and investment properties. Financing options may vary by country of residence.

Do international buyers pay special taxes?

In Ontario, foreign buyers may be subject to the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) for certain property types. We guide clients through exemptions and updates.

Do I need to be physically present in Canada to buy?

No. Purchases can be completed remotely using e-signatures. Closing can also be handled by your Canadian lawyer.

Can international buyers get a mortgage?

Yes, but requirements differ by lender. Expect higher down payments and additional documentation. We can connect you with lenders who specialize in international buyers.

What taxes do international investors pay on rental income?

Non-residents must remit 25% of gross rental income monthly to the CRA unless an NR6 is filed, which allows tax to be paid on net income instead.

How does property management work if I live abroad?

We act as your local representative:

Collect rent
Handle maintenance
Communicate with tenants
Provide monthly reporting
Coordinate tax filings

How do international investors choose the right neighborhood?
