Can a US citizen buy property in Canada?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's easy to purchase property in Canada. Just don't expect to visit it any time you want. My wife and I purchase a 400M home in Ontario that we liked. We researched the rules and found we would be considered "Seasonal Residents".

How we tried to find out what rights we would have. YOU HAVE NONE!!. There is no source to find out how long you are allowed to stay each year. You will get the answer of 6 months on internet answer sites but no where on Canadian Immigration sites. There are well defined custom rules for Seasonal Residents but none for length of stay. We tried to talk to Immigration about this and you can't. You will find this hard to believe but they will not talk to you only refer you to there web site that has no information. The only place you can talk to Immigration is at the border entry. There they can't tell you any place that you can find where the Canadian Gov spelled out these rules. One day crossing the border at the Peace Bridge we were asked to prove we were not living in Canada. After showing them proof of ownership and utility bills from our home in the US we were asked to leave the Country with no answer if we could ever return. We were treated like criminals. You are entirely at the mercy of the agent at the border, if he had a bad day you are screwed. I would advise against buying a home in Canada.

There are 2 things to note when talking about HDTV. The first is resolution, which is how "clear" the picture is. This is indicated by the 720 or 1080 part of the number. This is how many pixels tall the screen is. (1080 is a clearer picture, because it is 360 pixels taller). The second part, the "i" and "p" are the type of scan the TV has. "i" stands for interlaced and "p" stands for progressive. Progressive is generally considered to be superior to interlaced. So, the best available TV right now would be a "1080p".
