Dear Mr. Ingram,
I found your site on the Internet, and it appears that you may have all of
the know-how to assist me.
I am a Canadian, married for 12 years to an English woman, with whom I have
4 children, all born in the UK.
We would like to return to B.C., but I have a few questions:
1) Will my wife be granted immigrant status easily enough as she is married
to me?
2) I am looking to buy a house priced around $250,000, with a 30% deposit. I
am unsure as to whether I will get a mortgage there. In the UK we have a "no
doc" mortgage, basically meaning that as long as you put enough of a deposit
down, mortgages aren't a problem. I am willing to make a larger deposit.
3) I am unaware of the "hidden" costs of buying a property over there, i.e.
property taxes,rates,etc.
I realise that this may not be totally within your field, but I have not
been able to find any one else who seems to have such a wide range of
expertise.
If you could answer my questions, or refer me to someone who can, I would be
very grateful. If you dont have time, then thankyou very much for taking the
time to read this email.
Regards,
