For investors in Calgary
Dubai property for Calgary investors.
Off-plan launches, ready homes and Golden Visa properties in Dubai, chosen and negotiated for you, with calls in Mountain Time and a Canadian phone number.
Why Calgary investors look at Dubai
Calgary investors often compare Dubai with Alberta rentals: Dubai offers freehold ownership in central areas, no annual property tax and payment plans spread over construction.
- Freehold ownership for foreigners in areas such as Dubai Marina, Downtown, Business Bay and JVC.
- No annual property tax and no UAE income tax on rent.
- Payment plans on off-plan projects, paid in stages during construction into a regulated escrow account.
- Residency options: property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa.

Questions we hear from Calgary
Can I buy property in Dubai while living in Calgary?
Yes. Canadians can buy freehold property in Dubai’s designated areas without living in the UAE. The whole purchase can usually be completed from Calgary, with documents signed digitally and payments sent from your Canadian bank.
What is the time difference between Calgary and Dubai?
Dubai is 11 hours ahead of Calgary in winter and 10 hours ahead in summer (Dubai does not change its clocks). We schedule calls in Mountain Time.
Do I pay tax in Canada on Dubai rental income?
There is no income tax on rent in the UAE, but as a Canadian resident you report worldwide income in Canada, and foreign property costing over CAD 100,000 must be reported on Form T1135. Speak to your accountant; see our Buying from Canada guide.
How much do I need to start?
Many off-plan projects need 10 to 20% at booking plus the 4% Dubai Land Department fee, with the rest paid during construction. Use our calculator to see the cash you need for a specific price.
