How to Buy Property in Canada from Nigeria: A Step-by-Step Guide”

Invest in Canadian real estate with confidence — even from thousands of miles away.

With its strong economy, stable property market, and growing demand for housing, Canada has become an attractive destination for Nigerian investors looking to secure long-term real estate value. But buying property in a foreign country can feel overwhelming if you’re not familiar with the process.

At City Doves Homes & Properties, we specialize in guiding Nigerians through every step of buying property in Canada — from selection to secure ownership.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you understand how it works:

Step 1: Define Your Goals and Budget

Before jumping into listings, ask yourself:

• Why are you buying? (Investment, personal use, or immigration support)

• What’s your budget in Canadian Dollars?

• Are you buying with full payment or looking to finance?

Our advisors help you clarify your purpose and recommend the best locations and property types based on your goals.

Step 2: Identify Suitable Properties

With the help of our trusted Canadian partners, we’ll present you with:

• Verified residential or investment properties

• Full details including location, specs, price, rental potential

• Virtual tours and updated photos for remote buyers

We focus on areas like Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Montreal, offering both growth and lifestyle value.

Step 3: Conduct Due Diligence

Once you’ve found a property you like, we:

• Verify ownership and legal standing

• Check for liens, encumbrances, or zoning issues

• Review condo rules (if applicable)

We handle this through licensed professionals in Canada to ensure complete legal and financial transparency.

Step 4: Arrange Financing or Make Payment

You can either:

• Pay in full (typically via international wire transfer)

• Apply for a mortgage through a Canadian bank or lender

We guide you on international financing options, eligibility requirements, and help with required documentation.

Step 5: Complete the Transaction

We coordinate the entire purchase process:

• Drafting and signing the purchase agreement

• Opening a Canadian bank account (if needed)

• Handling currency exchange and tax filings

• Registering the property in your name

You don’t need to be physically present — we can manage the process through Power of Attorney and trusted legal representation.

Step 6: Post-Purchase Management

Once the property is yours, we offer:

• Property management (tenant placement, maintenance, rent collection)

• Support with insurance, taxes, and local compliance

• Resale or rental advice if needed
