[quote="nelsona"]So, she would buy properety but not live in it, while you would also rent an appartment?!

You are becoming Cdn resident.[/quote]

Oh, this is completely separate from actually moving to Canada. She just wants to buy property regardless of whether I accept my employer's request. We ...

[quote="nelsona"]I would not buy a house, for example.[/quote]

My wife wants to buy property, mainly for investment purposes. The housing market in Canada seems immune to the housing market situation in the US. We would be renting it out if we do purchase property. Is this still a bad thing, in ...

BTW, the company plans to keep me in US payroll during my stay in Canada.

I'm Canadian and a US permanent resident. My US employer is requesting me to head up a project in Ontario, Canada that would require that I temporarily work in Ontario, Canada.
