The practical picture from Canada
Calling & timezone
Canada is well behind Kolkata, so your evening is our morning. We schedule around your day, whichever province you're in.
Currency
Transfers are planned from Canadian Dollar (CAD) into your Indian accounts.
Payment route
Through your NRE / NRO / FCNR accounts via normal banking channels.
Tax treaty
India and Canada have a double-taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA), which can prevent the same income being taxed twice.
Why NRIs from Canada buy in Kolkata
Toronto and the wider GTA host a large, active Bengali community, and Kolkata property remains a common tie back home.
- A secure home for parents in Kolkata.
- A long-term India asset while you settle in Canada.
- A base for visits and eventual return.
- Diversification into a rupee-denominated asset.
How we handle it while you're in Canada
The distance is our job to manage. We shortlist verified, Sidus-scored projects, send video walkthroughs, produce a personalised memo with the all-in cost, and coordinate a lawyer for title and Power of Attorney and a CA for tax and repatriation. You get a single named point of contact reachable in your timezone — and if you visit during Puja or the winter, we build a site-visit day around your dates.
