Notice to Applicants:
Effective January 1, 2023, in an effort to make housing more affordable for Canadians, the Government of Canada enacted a prohibition on non-Canadians from purchasing residential property in Canada. This legislation affects certain properties in Prince Edward Island, which may impact applications under the Lands Protection Act filed by non-Canadians.
When filing a non-resident application under Section 4 of the Lands Protection Act, non-Canadian applicants will need to provide the Commission with a submission detailing how the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act applies to the proposed transaction. This submission must be received prior to the application being processed.
