Franchise-Based Residency Contract for Purchasing Residential and Apartment Units in the Gibsons Project
Entering into a partnership and transferring shares are among the common methods for transferring ownership of pre-sale real estate projects in Canada. Through this arrangement, shares in the parent company are allocated to each applicant according to their portion of the project (i.e., the value of their pre-purchased unit). In this contract, the developer commits to assigning a specified apartment unit from the project to the applicant based on their choice and agreed-upon obligations. Upon project completion, the developer will transfer the title or deed of the apartment to the buyer. In this way, the applicant obtains a construction franchise as a limited partner and, in addition to managing the immigration process, gains ownership of an apartment unit.
Implementation Steps and Contracting Process:
- Hold advisory sessions to review the residency and property purchase package in Canada with resident consultants and advisors.
- If the applicant requires detailed project data and partnership or commercial documents, a non-disclosure agreement is signed electronically via DocuSign or physically, as managed by the Contract Affairs Unit at Parsi Canada’s International Group. Once signed, information is emailed to the applicant. (Attachment No. 4)
- Should the applicant wish to proceed with a contract, the payment terms and conditions are determined, and accordingly, an Operator & Owner migration contract is signed with the applicant. (Based on the applicant’s conditions, we practically offer programs such as 00noc, job offers, specific occupations, or imp programs). Additionally, a secondary franchise purchase contract is arranged, establishing the applicant as a partner in the limited partnership of Gibsons Utopia. This secondary business contract includes the franchise price as outlined in the franchise catalog, as well as the apartment price.
- Concurrent with the above processes, the applicant should begin the process of property transfer or fund transfer to Canada to meet the financial requirements of both the secondary and migration contracts according to the payment terms. This stage is managed in Iran by the Iran Contract Affairs Unit and the Real Estate and Properties Unit of Parsi Canada’s International Group in Iran.
- Upon completion of Step 3, the applicant participates in an online session with a Canadian attorney. After identity verification by the attorney, the applicant’s construction franchise as a limited partner is established and ownership is transferred to the applicant. This step is conducted in Canada by the Lawyer Corporation.
- The subsequent step involves drafting the Joinder Agreement and Subscription Agreement by the Contract Affairs lawyer in Canada in the applicant’s name and for the applicant’s construction franchise limited partnership. (Attachments No. 2 and 3) This stage is also carried out in Canada by the Lawyer Corporation.
- After completing Step 5, another online session is held with the lawyer to sign the agreements via the official DocuSign platform. Instead of sending it directly to the applicant electronically, upon request, the contracts may also be sent to a notary office in Canada or Iran. The applicant can then visit these offices to sign the documents. This step is conducted in both Canada and Iran by the Lawyer Corporation.
- After the immigration process is completed, all Iranian contracts from the applicant must be returned.
Taxes and Other Additional Costs:
- In British Columbia, a “Foreign Buyers’ Tax” applies to individual foreign property buyers (not companies), amounting to 20% of the property’s purchase price. This tax is implemented in areas where the foreign property transfer tax law is enforced, including Metro Vancouver and its surrounding areas, such as Gibsons. However, by investing through franchise purchase and limited partnership, this tax is treated as an internal corporate matter, effectively reducing it to zero.
- In addition to this tax, individual (not corporate) buyers must pay a regular property transfer tax calculated as follows:
- 1% for the first $200,000 of the purchase price.
- 2% for the price portion between $200,000 and $2,000,000.
- 3% for the price portion exceeding $2,000,000.
- However, in a limited partnership ownership transfer, this tax is also waived.
