Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act

Key Highlights

• The Act defines residential property as buildings with 3 dwelling units or less. This includes semi-detached houses and condominium units. The Act doesn’t prohibit the purchase of larger buildings with 4 or more dwelling units.
• Non-Canadians can purchase residential properties located outside of Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA) and Census Agglomerations (CA).
• Certain exceptions apply to allowing Non-Canadians to purchase a residential property in defined circumstances.
• If a non-Canadian, or anyone who knowingly assists a non-Canadian, is convicted of violating the prohibition, they will have to pay a fine of up to $10,000. Additionally, a court can order the sale of a residential property.
