Buying a Property in Canada

Communications

Telephone
An excellent service is provided throughout Canada, using modern technology, through a number of national and provincial phone companies.

As in the UK, coin-operated telephones are available in many public places, and payphones accepting major credit cards are increasingly common. Nearly all the phone companies produce pre-paid phone cards for domestic and international use. These are sold in a variety of outlets, including petrol stations, pharmacies and post offices. Some companies also produce affinity cards, whereby the cost of a call is debited from the caller’s credit or debit card account.

Internet
Most major cities and even some smaller towns now have internet cafés. Many large hotels, public libraries and other establishments also offer internet access.

And finally...

Buying a home abroad is a major decision and one that should not be taken lightly. Before committing yourself to a Canadian property purchase, it is vital to ensure you have researched all aspects thoroughly and are in possession of all the relevant facts.

Individual circumstances will vary widely, so it is essential to obtain professional advice and guidance tailored to your particular situation, especially in areas such as property purchase, potential rental returns, taxation and mortgages.
