New to Canada & Waiting for PR? Here’s How Ana Bastas Realty Can Help You Get a Home Through Rent-to-Own

Just Arrived in Canada? You Don’t Have to Wait Years to Buy a Home
Starting a new life in Canada is exciting—but navigating the housing market without permanent residency can be overwhelming.
If you're waiting for your PR status and struggling to qualify for a mortgage, rent-to-own might be your best path forward—and Ana Bastas Realty is here to help you make it happen.
The Challenge for Newcomers Without PR
Many banks and lenders in Canada require permanent residency or citizenship to approve a traditional mortgage. That means even if you have:
-
A strong income
-
A good job
-
Savings for a down payment
…you may still be denied financing.
The result? You end up renting for years while housing prices keep rising.
What Is Rent-to-Own—and Why It Works for Newcomers?
Rent-to-own lets you move into your future home today while you continue building your credit, saving your down payment, and finalizing your immigration status.
Here’s how it works:
-
You rent the home for 2–5 years.
-
A portion of your rent goes toward your future down payment.
-
You lock in a purchase price from day one.
-
When your PR is approved and you're mortgage-ready, you buy the home.
It’s a flexible and realistic way to stop paying someone else’s mortgage—and start investing in your own.
