You can buy until your money is gone, but you can only stay here as long as your visa allows.
Ownership of assets has no primary bearing on residence privilegs.

For somebody with funds, other avenues may be possible.

If you talk to Canadian Immigration

and convince them that you are not going to be a burden on society you might have a chance. Is $350,000.00 all of your money or is that just your house money?

There are houses for less than $350,000.00 but I don't know if you would be happy with them.

Here is a link to the Multiple Listing Service. You have to tell them how many bedrooms, how many bathrooms, type of house--Rancher, two story, what kind of heating, Garage, fireplace, etc.

Good Luck

Hi, i know a company which can help you to immigrate or find you a job in Canada. The company is in Manitoba. You could get a workvisa for 1-3 years and could work here. You wife could get also a open work visa. Get in contact with this company. I dont know if you can just buy a house there. Its to risky. Try to get a visa bye this company www.canport.com (they speak russian, englisch nd german)

All the best for you.

Bye

thanks a lot to everybody for the information, i could bring to canada a maximum of 450000 canadian dollars, i want to buy a home for around 150000 in manitoba, i have seen in internet decent homes for this price, even i would be able to buy a second home to rent, its good investment to buy in manitoba especially winnipeg a home like investment to rent it ?? i can demostrate perfecly to canadian inmigration authorities that my purposes are honest, only i want to live in a stable decent country nothing more, so i will see the links some of you wrote here and if no other solution i will go to winnipeg in 2 months to try to know i am able to settle in manitoba or not, do you think that with 450000 canadian dollars it,s enough to settle in man. or sask ??
i thank you very much for you kind assistance greetings again for your kind assistance from andalucia home of flamenco dancing in spain.

I's a Bluenoser, Baby!
maybe consider setting up a small company. Yes you can certainly buy a home and move here....but you'll eventually need a way to support yourself.
So, if you are really asking about moving, buying a home and seeking employment.. again yep you can, but not willy-nilly. You'd need to go through the proper immigration channels. My best advice is to contact the province you are thinking of moving to and Immigration Canada. A quick search on the net should bring up their websites.

ps: think about Nova Scotia, we are a great province with cheap housing. Saskatchewan and Manitoba are nice too tho.

Best of luck, hope you make it.
