Based on the government’s press release, the following people are still eligible to buy homes in Canada:
- Canadian Citizens living abroad
- Non-Residents who are married to a Canadian citizen
- Temporary residents living in Canada on a work-permit/study-permit
- A non-resident who signed a purchase contract prior to January 1st, 2023
