How the market reads by region

02

Canada's provinces run separate land-registry systems — Ontario's electronic Land Registry and British Columbia's Title Search work differently from each other, and Quebec layers its own civil-law notarial process on top. A national checklist would miss that, which is why Estate Ulagam's document review follows each province's own registry and warranty rules rather than one template for the whole country.

Cross-Border Legal Briefing

Foreign Ownership & Non-Resident Acquisition in Canada

Statutory Matrix

Under the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act (extended through January 1, 2027), non-Canadians (non-citizens and non-permanent residents) are barred from purchasing residential property situated within Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) and Census Agglomerations (CAs). Exemptions apply to temporary workers meeting specific CRA tax filing criteria, international students meeting residency thresholds, and commercial properties. Non-Resident Speculation Taxes apply in provinces (e.g., Ontario NRST of 25%; British Columbia foreign buyer tax of 20%).

Governing Body

Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), BCFSA & Competition Bureau Canada

Primary Statute

Provincial Real Estate Services Acts (REBBA/TRESA in ON, RESA in BC)

The desk

What we ask for, and why

03

Every Canada submission is checked against the same working set of records before it can be reviewed for publication, governed by Land Titles Act & Provincial Real Estate Councils (RECO / BCFSA). None of this is a substitute for independent legal advice — it is the paperwork our desk asks an advertiser to produce, and cross-checks before an advertisement goes live.

Title search

Ontario Land Registry PIN & British Columbia Title Search audit.

Warranty check

Tarion New Home Warranty or provincial statutory warranty verification.

Status certificate

Status Certificate review for condominium units & maintenance reserves.

Identity match

FINTRAC-aligned identity verification for certified brokers & sellers.

Estate Ulagam reviews submitted advertising materials and documents before publication.
