I am American and my partner in Canadian. I have applied for Permanent Residency status in Canada. I am selling a house here in the States and will net $60,000.00. I presently own a company that holds some residential rental property in Canada. Can I place the funds received from the sale of the house into that Canadian company and then can we rent the house from the company as long as we pay fair market value for the house? ============================== david ingram replies: I am going over 1,800 questions. I hope that you did not put the house into a corporation. That would make a tax free house taxable when sold. 19 out of 20 individuals are getting the following Sorry - too many questions to answer (over 1,800 at the moment- all of which I have saved over the last two years with the intention of answering them).
