<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates, I have a client that wants to purchase a piece of property in British Columbia. He is being told that as a US citizen he is not allowed to purchase property in Canada. Is this true? If so is there a work around like using
a trust or corporation? Thanks, Craig <o:p></o:p></p>
