[巴菲]

除了RRSP HBP之外，很多华人朋友都不知道CITY对初次买房者有一些资助计划，现在终于找到具体的介绍，请看下面两个LINK。请大家转告你的要买房的朋友。
注意，这种资助到Jan-31-2009就终止了。

Good news but no more application will be accepted.

"The City of Ottawa has received an allocation of $2.025 million from the Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program to provide down payment assistance to 205 low and moderate-income households on the purchase of their home. The Affordable Housing Unit (AHU) in the Housing Branch is the Service Manager responsible for administering the Canada-Ontario Home Ownership Assistance Program.
The Home Ownership Down Payment Assistance Program has received the maximum number of applications allowable and will not be accepting or processing any more applications at this time.
We currently have a waiting list, which is also at full capacity. "

可能有点晚了，我8月份申请的，昨天拿到钱的。我一个朋友9月申请的，说已经满了，现在他们在WAITING LIST上。一共就205个名额。

Oops, 是晚了。真遗憾没有早点发现这个消息。

This is only for low or moderate income households, so it may not be applicable for everyone.
