Canada
Montreal & Laval · Ottawa · Toronto
Over 200,000 Lebanese Canadians, half of them around Montreal — the francophone pull makes it the most natural North American landing for Lebanese families and students.
Can foreigners buy? Canada's foreign-buyer ban (extended to 2027) blocks non-resident purchases of homes in most urban areas — but citizens, permanent residents, work-permit holders and most students settling in are exempt. Plan the immigration status before the purchase.
