Is there a foreign buyer tax on a Longueuil home?+
No. Quebec levies no non-resident purchase tax, so a foreign national buying here pays the same $7,531 of land transfer and registration cost on Longueuil's $628,000 median single-family home price that a Canadian citizen pays on the same property. Three jurisdictions in Canada do charge one — Ontario at 25% province-wide, British Columbia at 20% in five specified regional districts, and Nova Scotia at 10% — and none of them reach a purchase here. What still applies is the federal Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act, until it expires on 1 January 2027, and the lender overlays that meet a non-permanent-resident file. Those overlays are the real cost difference on this purchase, and unlike a tax they are shoppable.
Can I buy in Longueuil on a work permit?+
Yes, on two conditions. The federal ban applies to residential property inside a census metropolitan area or census agglomeration, so you need 183 or more days of validity left on your permit at the date of purchase and you must not have bought more than one residential property. Financing is available: CMHC, Sagen and Canada Guaranty all insure a valid work permit to 95% loan-to-value, so the legal minimum down payment is the same $37,800 a permanent resident would put down, though individual lenders often require more. There is no non-resident purchase tax in Quebec, so the cash you need at closing is about $50,734 — the same figure a permanent resident brings.
