What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Statistics Canada released a report examining housing market trends and small-scale investor shares across several provinces, including British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. The findings revealed that recent immigrants are entering the housing market as homeowners at an increasing rate, while homeownership among Canadian-born individuals is declining in these areas. For example, in Nova Scotia, homeownership rates for immigrants in their fifth year after admission rose to 48.1 per cent.
