| Canada is full of picturesque and diverse landscape, a vibrant people and culture. Within the past 10 years Canada has witnessed a speedy change and a tremendous increase in interest both from tourists and property investors, mainly because the country changed its policy to market-oriented. Like most countries, Canada offers a wide scope of "home" options. Your choice will rest on a few factors: your budget, how much space you would like to have and what kind of place you want to. Here are some of the options for you to consider: - A room for rent. Some individuals who own a house or an apartment may rent out separate rooms in those dwellings. All of the tenants share the bathroom(s) and the kitchen. - A studio apartment. These apartments are small and were initially designed for just one person. Most studios consist of a single large room – which includes a kitchen and a bedroom – and a separate bathroom. - An apartment. Apartments range in size from 1 to 3 bedrooms. They also have separate kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms. - A duplex. A duplex is a single house that has been split into two separate living areas, each area being separated from the other. Still, the residents may share a yard or a driveway. - A townhome. Townhomes are small houses which are built in rows, thus forming a chain. Most of the homes in the chain look similar. - A house. Homes of all shapes and sizes are available in Canada. You can also choose to have a home built specifically to your specifications on a lot. - A condominium. Condominiums are essentially apartments or townhomes that are owned, not rented. Owners are responsible for all of the internal maintenance and care on the property and must pay property taxes. They also pay a condominium association fee that covers the costs of outdoor upkeep. Besides these options, there is another important choice you need to make: furnished or unfurnished. Furnished living accommodations mean that all of the necessary furnishings - such as beds and chairs - are included. Furnished accommodations may be a good option when you are immigrating to Canada from a distance, because the cost of transporting your own couches and beds could be rather pricey. Most people, nevertheless, decided on an unfurnished dwelling to be able to decorate in a manner they see fit. Some unfurnished living accommodations will still come with fridges and stoves in the kitchen. Also, keep in mind that housing costs vary considerably, even within the same province. By doing some research and focusing on areas outside major cities, you can save money on housing. |
