A comprehensive analysis released by Statistics Canada on December 11, 2025, shows that non-permanent residents represented less than half a percent of all homeowners across Canadian provinces at the beginning of 2022.

The data indicate homeownership among this population ranged from 0.10% in Alberta to 0.39% in Prince Edward Island. Researchers found that while the non-permanent resident population surged from 1.4 million to over 3 million between early 2022 and 2025, their presence in the ownership market remained minimal.

These findings suggest population growth among temporary residents primarily impacts rental housing demand rather than home sales, though increased rental demand may indirectly influence investor activity in residential property markets.
