Victoria is one of the most beautiful places in the world, with is temparate climate. mid range to luxury ocean front accomodations and its plethora of outdoor activities year round. It has all the possibilities of Vancouver, but at a smaller scale and with less rain. For these reasons as well as its relatively low real estate prices (locals may disagree) compared to other desirable places in the world people are emmigrating here from Europe, Asia and the US. With this influx of foriegn ownership there are many questions that a foreign national to Victoria may ask with regards to immigration, residency and ownership of property. Below is a newsletter put out by a local immigration laywer David Aujla discussing the Five Important Questions that foreign nationals ask.
FIVE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
Over my years of practice, I have noted that there are five questions that foreign nationals usually ask prior to applying for immigration. Here are the questions and the answers:
1. Will buying a house or a business help my immigration to Canada?
Buying a house does not increase chances of entry, but nor does it hurt. The purchase of a home certainly shows a connection to Canada and the home is ultimately treated as a part of the overall net worth of the individual, but simply owning a house and living here as a visitor will not affect the selection process.
Buying a business, however, could result in a faster entry into Canada based on a temporary work permit. CAUTION! Buying a business must be part of a comprehensive immigration strategy. The purchase must be strategized with other qualifying factors, such as overall asset base, the projected performance of the business and previous business experience. These important aspects are examined and must be approved by the provincial government and/or the federal immigration department before any business is purchased. It is best to seek professional taxation and legal advice prior to purchasing a home or business.
2. As a foreigner can I get a mortgage?
The answer is yes. The requirements for obtaining a mortgage to finance a purchase, whether a home or a business will depend on the institution with which the foreign national will do business. Generally speaking, there is usually not a problem in securing mortgages with more-established financial institutions. These institutions will usually require a letter of introduction from the previous banking facility with which the foreigner has done business in his or her own home country. Previous income in the home country will also be verified. Also, institutions may require a greater percentage of the purchase price as a down payment.
3. How long can I stay in Canada? (Can't I just go out for a day and come back?)
Generally, a person is allowed a six month entry as a visitor. If a second home is purchased, one can bring in a reasonable amount of furniture as a "seasonal resident" without paying any duty. There is no corresponding regulation in the immigration act (IRPA) that states the person has to leave for six months before returning, so multiple entries can be allowed. CAUTION! You cannot "flagpole" continuously. Flagpoling means leaving Canada for a few days and then returning to Canada. Although such re-entry may be allowed on one or two occasions, the person does run a risk of being refused entry into Canada because he or she is living in Canada as a resident under the guise of being a visitor. The foreign national must maintain substantial roots with his or her home country. See the following website: http://www.victorialaw.com/details/articles/Flagpoling.pdf.
4. If I rent out my home, what are the tax implications?
Occasionally, foreign nationals will purchase a home, reside in it for a few months of the year and rent it out for the balance. NOTE: Special tax rules do apply to such situations and Canadian tax returns must be filed by the foreigner. In fact, if the taxation payments are not set up properly, the foreign landlord will be required to pay 25% of the net rental income per month to the tax department as a holdback until the tax returns are filed. However, such a drastic reduction of rent can be avoided if a Canadian resident is appointed on behalf of the foreign national to make the filings at the end of the year. CAUTION! When selling a residence, a foreign national must file a clearance certificate well in advance of the sale or there can be up to a twenty five percent holdback of the full selling price until the clearance certificate is obtained from the tax department.
5. Can I retire in Canada?
There is no retirement category under the immigration regulations. Such an avenue did once exist, but the retirement avenue of immigration was phased out in the late 1980s.
If an individual is buying a home with the view of ultimately retiring here, it is important to seek legal immigration advice immediately. Qualifying for immigration is time sensitive in that points are awarded based on the number of years of experience in both business and in work as well as the age factor. It is important that as soon as individuals are considering purchasing a home here in Canada that they seek immediate immigration legal advice to ensure that a proper strategy exists for the potential permanent entry in the future. There are also health and age-related questions which may impact the admissibility.

Dockside Green in Victoria, BC, in Wired Magazine's global race for first carbon-neutral community
Green, Green is on everyone minds. Twenty years ago it was three minutes to midnight and all the talk about the nuclear holicost and the end civilizations as we know it. Fast forward to today and all the talk (except in the last few weeks about the US recession) is how global warming, or as a good friend of mine says, global climate change, is the end of civilation as we know it. Not only is it on the minds of polititions, okay only some, it is also on the minds of our teck savy friends. Before it was will Deep Blue be the best chess player in the world to tech companies like Google trying to decrease the size of its carbon foot print with search engines like Blackle, and Wired magazine reporting on a real estate development in Victoria BC called Dockside Green, and its state of the art enviro-friendly development.
For further information on this cutting edge environmental mixed residential real estate development in Victoria BC see the latest media release from Tartan Public Relations below.
According to Wired Magazine, the race for the first carbon-neutral, zero-emissions community is on, and Dockside Green in Victoria, BC is in the running.
Wired lists Dockside Green as one of the Top Ten greenest neighbourhoods
- 'ecotopias' - in the world, according to the latest issue of the magazine.
Dockside Green is a mixed-use residential development in Victoria's inner harbour which has aimed to set the standard for green residential developments in North America and around the world.
"Eco-topias aren't just for hippies anymore and they're sprouting up worldwide. Today's eco-communities are less crunchy and a lot more high tech. In addition to using renewable energy sources, these projects aim to limit their impact on surrounding ecosystems by building with green materials, promoting earth-friendly transportation, and recycling water and waste," notes Wired's web site at wired.com.
"The 1,000 units in this $600 million development will be built with wood from forests that were submerged by reservoirs. Dockside Green will promote bicycle use and offer a carshare program..." according to the web site.
Other communities in the Wired race are in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Cambridge, England; San Francisco, California; Freiburg, Germany; Vaxjo, Sweden; Chongming Island, China; Liuzhou, China; Costa Rica; and Libya.
Wired is the foremost technology magazine in North America with a
monthly circulation of more than 700,000.

Ecologically Friendly, Economically Smart – Green is the New Gold Standard for Outfitting a Home
Royal LePage Eco Home Survey finds 88 per cent of Canadians want green qualities in their home
In Victoria BC we are seeing the green development at its forefront with the anticipation of Dockside Green and its LEED standard, along with numerus other developments incorporating and enviroment frielndly code.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, provides a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction. Since its inception in 1998, LEED has grown to encompass over 14,000 projects in 50 US States and 30 countries covering 1.062 billion square feet (99 km²) of development area.[2] The hallmark of LEED is that it is an open and transparent process where the technical criteria proposed by the LEED committees are publicly reviewed for approval by the more than 10,000 membership organizations that currently constitute the USGBC.
Green friendly home improvements will likely yield a solid return on investment come selling time as almost three quarters of Canadians (72%) say they will look for a green-improved property in their next home purchase, and 63 per cent will be willing to pay more for an environmentally friendly home, according to the Royal LePage Eco Home Survey released today.
The Royal LePage Eco Home Survey, which examines the attitudes and opinions of Canadians with respect to green living, found that Canadians are willing to pony up cash for greener home features. In fact, of the majority of Canadians who are willing to pay more for an eco home, 62 per cent are willing to pay between $5,000 and under $20,000, for green features, while eight per cent (8%) of respondents are willing to spend $20,000 or more on a home deemed green.
“The mood of Canadian homebuyers and sellers is changing with the times - environmental concerns are impacting the decisions people are making about their dwellings. From simple energy conservation efforts to the more elaborate use of organic building materials, the environmentally conscious mindset that our agents are seeing in clients is not a passing trend,” said Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage Real Estate Services. “To service this growing segment of the real estate market, we are pleased to launch our partnership with the National Association of Green Agents and Brokers (NAGAB) as well as the green accreditation program. This program will educate and empower our REALTORS® and brokers, as well as consumers on how to make eco-friendly decisions when it comes to the home.”
Through various education courses funded in part by the Ministry of Energy, Royal LePage real estate agents will be trained by the National Association of Green Agents and Brokers to assess environmental elements within a home and identify properties that adhere to green standards. Royal LePage members who take the National Association of Green Agents and Brokers training will be easily identifiable though a special designation logo.
“Few people realize that residential, commercial and institutional buildings represent more than 33 per cent of our total greenhouse gas emissions,” said Elden Freeman, National Association of Green Agents and Brokers founder and executive director. “While it is unreasonable to completely reduce carbon dioxide created by homes, there are various practices homeowners can implement, such as installing high-energy efficient windows, doors and insulation, high efficiency furnaces and appliances, and water-conserving fixtures such as showerheads and toilets that will significantly reduce negative effects on the environment.”
While positive changes are occurring in the general population there is much work to be done. More than half (51%) of all survey respondents say they are very concerned about the environment and think we are in dire need of change some are not as quick to implement changes. When asked, “What is preventing you from making your home more green?” over half (54%) of respondents said it was too expensive to do, while 15 per cent said they have no idea where to start.
Added Soper: “Canadians need to know that going green can certainly be within their means and within their reach. There are many simple and affordable measures that can lead to big gains for the environment, and many of the practices can actually save homeowners money.”
Small Steps for Big Change
When it comes to describing how green their current lifestyle is, 72 per cent of Canadians say they engage in traditional recycling practices. Making a difference can be as simple as implementing small environmentally friendly practices. The most popular green modifications that poll respondents already implement in their homes include switching from regular light bulbs to CFL light bulbs (74%), adding window and door sealers to prevent heat loss (61%) and switching to high efficiency washers and dryers and using low flow water fixtures (54%).
Some homeowners are taking bigger leaps. Caryn Thompson, a Toronto-based health promoter and owner of an eco-friendly home, is among those Canadians that took on green modifications when she and her husband decided to renovate their home. To create their eco enclave they opted for highly energy efficient windows made with low-e glass that decreases heat gain in the summer and keeps the house warm in the winter, installed central air that uses puron, and have painted with low or no VOC (Volatile organic compounds) products.
“When we decided to renovate our home, we wanted to make choices that would have the least impact on the environment and create a healthy indoor space for us,” said Caryn Thompson.
Motivating Forces of Nature
When asked, “What is the most influential factor for making your home more or completely green?” 35 per cent of respondents cited they are doing it for their children so they inherit a healthy planet; 32 per cent are doing it for the cost savings; and one quarter (25%) are doing it for their health and to have peace of mind they are living the best they can.
Mature Canadians edge out the younger set when it comes to recycling. Respondents aged 55+ (77%) are more likely than those aged 18 to 34 years (67%) to engage in traditional recycling practices.
More women (31%) than men (18%) are going green for their health. Conversely, more men (41%) than women (23%) cite cost savings as the most influential factor for making a change.

- Atlantic (72%) residents are the most likely to pay more, whereas Ontario residents (60%) are the least likely to pay more for an eco-friendly dwelling.
- Fourteen per cent (14%) of homeowners are already living in an eco-friendly abode.
- The survey found that 16 per cent of respondents say they exercise their green side from time to time, when it is convenient, and only nine per cent (9%) claim to be at one with Mother Earth, and live a very green lifestyle.
- Seventy-eight (78%) believe there is a direct link between the unseasonably warm temperatures and decades of the world's lack of awareness about the environment. Albertans are the most reticent about such a link, with 68 per cent of respondents from Alberta claiming to see a link, whereas 82 per cent of people in Quebec believe the two elements are related.
