its a waste land of no opportunity cept the very few who can ... before 2020 ... things WERE on the up an up .. and i actually had hope.. but now... not so much..
Yeah, Canada has some of the most expensive land in the world, and the land outside cities is often zoned as Environmentally Protected which means you can't build on it if you wanted to. By far, the majority of land in Southern Ontario, at least, is zoned this way. The low end of house prices in my area has gone up 400% in the last 10 years.
That said, I know people who bought houses without (much) help. It's possible, but you have to have an above average job, low or no debt, and dedicate yourself to nothing else.
depends where you live i guess....
from my point of view (canada)
