First Home Savings Account (FHSA)

 

Your FHSA participation room for the year is the maximum amount that you can contribute to your FHSAs or transfer from your registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs)  to your FHSAs in the year without creating an excess FHSA amount . For more information about transfers, go to Transfers between FHSAs and other registered plans.

Your FHSA participation room in the year that you open your first FHSA =$8,000

The lifetime FHSA limit =$40,000

All contributions you make to your FHSAs and all transfers from your RRSPs to your FHSAs will reduce your remaining lifetime FHSA limit. If your contributions and transfers to your FHSAs in the year exceed your FHSA participation room for the year, you will have an excess FHSA amount. For more information about an excess FHSA amount, go to What happens if you contribute or transfer too much to your FHSAs.

Federal Government Eases Some Restrictions On Non-Canadians Purchasing Property

 

The government is walking back some restrictions on foreigners purchasing residential property just months after the new rules came into force.

Non-Canadians on a work permit or who are authorized to work in Canada can now purchase residential property. They must have at least 183 days or more remaining on their work permit or work authorization and must purchase only one property to be eligible.

Non-Canadians and foreign businesses can now also purchase residential property if they intend to develop it. They can also purchase vacant land zoned for residential or mixed-use for any purpose.
