New Developments and Land - Canada

The Canadian real estate market has time and again proven to be a consistently achievable and viable location for good investments. Canada is a very popular retirement and emigration destination which means that the population is constantly moving upwards and in turn the property sector in Canada offers investors a wealth of ongoing opportunities.

The Canadian real estate market is not considered to be an emerging market; rather it is a traditional and well established sector where investor returns are generally cyclical and are a direct reflection of the underlying economic growth trends countrywide.

The overall attraction of the property sector in Canada from a property investor’s perspective is based upon the solidity of an investment made and on the emergence or development in popularity of a given geographic region.

Canada is a democratic country divided into a series of English and French speaking provinces and territories with Queen Elizabeth II the official Head of State. The country’s head of the government is the Prime Minister, he and the members of the House of Commons are democratically elected whereas Members of the Senate are appointed their roles.

Canada has very close ties to both the US and the UK yet it works very hard to maintain a fairly neutral and balanced stand point when it comes to global politics. To this end it has been successful and is not seen as a threat by many nations who may otherwise regard nations like the US with fear or suspicion for example. Canadian troops are regularly deployed via the UN Peacekeeping Forces on peacekeeping missions around the world and Canada is accepted as a very safe country in which to live.

The freedom and quality of life achievable in Canada is one of the main reasons so many people apply to the Canadian immigration board each year; furthermore unemployment in Canada is low, there are many opportunities for skilled workers in key professions and the cost of living in Canada is relatively affordable for most people who choose to enter the immigration process.

Anyone considering taking up Canadian citizenship will be pleased to know that Canadian healthcare and education standards are world class with the medical system subsidised heavily by the government and schooling compulsory and free to all pupils up to the age of 16.

Geographically Canada is as diverse as it is vast. Mountains, glaciers, vast lakes and lush valleys dominate much of the southern Canadian landscape with forests giving way to tundra giving way to Arctic barrens in northern Canada. Canada is one of the least populated countries in the world when you compare population to available landmass with roughly 1 person to every 3.5km of land. In terms of the climate and weather conditions, again Canada’s vast landmass which stretches from North America right up to the Arctic Ocean means that there are massive variations in weather. Extremes of temperatures measured in Canada range from minus sixty three degrees centigrade to plus forty five. The main inhabited areas are more temperate with warm summers but cold long winters with significant snowfall. The most temperate area of the entire country is coastal British Columbia.

Healthy gains in the Canadian real estate market have proven to be consistently achievable with careful investment; this, added to the fact that Canada is a very popular retirement and relocation destination means that the property sector in Canada offers investors a wealth of ongoing opportunity.
