The thread's old, but the information is still relevant. I was also thinking about this question. OFC, I will not be going to buy any real estate while I'm a student. I barely have enough to
rent an old mother-in-law suite in a yard of other people's house. But when I finish my education and get a visa, I will think about it more closely. Is it difficult to get a loan from a bank in Canada for a person who's just finished their education? I think this might be an option for me. I will better repay the loan than pay for the mortgage. It seems a good idea, at least for now.
