I wanted to ask if anyone brought money from abroad to buy a house.
I have my money and my parents gift money to help me buy a house here. How do you bring the money and are there any restrictions?
How much can you bring? Would this create problem with the CRA?

If large amount of money is transferred it will be picked up by FINTRAC. Be prepared to have a paper trail of where all the money come from both you and your parents will need to show how they go the money.
Remember if you have plans to use your money brought from abroad only as a downpayment and will be supplemented by a bank loan then there might be additional requirements by the bank/mortgage insurer that you'd have to fulfill.
A new home is cool, but don't forget about replacing old windows. It is important. A friend of mine recently advised me a site where you can easily do this. If you are interested, then here is this site https://thwindowsdoors.com/oakville-windows-and-doors/ . I myself have not used this site, but my friend says that it is not bad, so you can try it if you need it.
Restrictions are imposed on a large amount, in which case you have to explain where it came from. Of course there`s nothing criminal about it, it's just stressful to explain to certain services where particular invoices come from. But I think you`ll succeed with the transfer of money. About the house - I advise you not to save on decoration or repairs in general, if such a need arises. It`s better to buy quality goods - but they`ll last a really long time. I like the store baliandboo.com, for example, a lot of things I bought there for my house.

Talk to your bank/financial advisor in advance and prep. them. As long as the money is traceabe and you are able to answer any questions that may come up during the process you will be fine.

If the windows of the house are not in the desired design, they can change them. When I moved to my new house, I had the windows designed even though it was a very new house.
