工簽那條對BC房市毫無影響。BC自己還有20%外國人購房稅，工簽不豁免。BC還有每年2%的投機稅，工簽自住的話也不豁免。哪個工簽持有者會傻到頂著這種槍林彈雨在BC買房？

你確定？BC PNP省提名和一般移民一樣買房免外國買家稅。

看這裡的英文說明，如果不是PR或者公民，豁免僅限已經拿到PNP省提名的人（配偶也不行），或者是買房一年內拿到PR身份的人。工簽work permit是不行的，不在豁免范圍內。

The Additional Property Transfer Tax (“ATT”), commonly called the Foreign Buyers Tax, was introduced by the BC government in 2016. The ATT is 20% of the fair market value of the property and is payable when a foreign individual (an individual who is not a permanent resident or a citizen of Canada) buys property in certain specified areas in BC, including Greater Victoria, Greater Vancouver, Nanaimo and Kelowna. There are two exceptions to paying ATT for recent immigrants to BC.

First exception is for BC Provincial Nominees who hold a valid provincial nomination for a permanent residence application to Canada at the time of purchasing the property. The eligibility requirements for this exemption are as follows:

The purchaser holds a valid BC Provincial nomination on the completion date for the property purchase.

The property will be the purchaser’s principal residence.

The exemption can be claimed only once.
The second exception is a refund of the ATT for individuals who become Canadian permanent residents or citizens within 1 year of purchasing property in BC. The eligibility requirements for the refund are as follows:
The purchaser used the property as their principal residence;
moved into the property within 92 days of the completion date; and
continued to live in the property as their principal residence for at least one full year after the completion date.
This refund can be claimed only once.
The purchaser must apply for the refund between 12 months and 18 months after the completion date.
The first exemption for BC PNP nominees applies only to the person holding the provincial nomination. If a nominee and the nominee’s spouse want to purchase property jointly, the nominee’s portion of the ATT is exempt, but the other spouse must pay their portion of the ATT. If the other spouse becomes a permanent resident within 1 year of the completion date, that person can apply for the refund under the second exception.
