Best Real Estate
Investment in India
for Canadian NRIs

Why Zirakpur, Mohali & Chandigarh
for Your Canadian NRI Investment
While Toronto and Vancouver real estate stagnates, Tricity offers what savvy NRI investors have always wanted — massive appreciation, clean cities, and a connection to home.
Direct Airport Access
Chandigarh International Airport — 12 km from Zirakpur — connects directly to Toronto, Vancouver, and Surrey. Your investment sits at the gateway of Punjab’s most connected city.
15 kmMarket Appreciation
Tricity properties have appreciated 60–80% in 5 years. That’s 12–16% per annum — outperforming most Canadian GICs, mutual funds, and REITs significantly.
80%Currency Advantage
1 CAD = ₹61+ in 2026. Your Canadian savings buy significantly more Indian real estate than they did 5 years ago — and INR weakness continues to benefit CAD buyers.
₹61+Exploding Infrastructure
Metro expansion, IT park development, new ring roads, and AIIMS satellite — Tricity’s infrastructure spending is creating the next decade’s appreciation story, starting now.
₹12,000CrQuality of Life
India’s cleanest large city. Top hospitals (PGI, Fortis), international schools, planned sectors, low crime — the city NRIs actually want to return to or settle parents in.
#1RERA Protection
Punjab RERA covers all registered projects — builder accountability, transparent timelines, and legal recourse. Your investment is protected by law, not just promises.

FEMA Guide for Canadian NRIs
— Everything You Need to Know
Buying property in India from Canada is completely legal and straightforward — when done correctly. Here’s what the law says.
Who Can Buy?
Indian Passport (NRI) or OCI cardholders can purchase residential & commercial property in India without RBI permission. PIOs with valid OCI cards are fully eligible. Agricultural land is prohibited.
Payment Rules
All payments must flow through NRE, NRO, or FCNR accounts held with Indian banks. Direct wire transfer from your Canadian bank account to a builder is not permitted under FEMA regulations.
Power of Attorney (POA)
If you can’t visit India, a registered POA to a family member or our trusted legal partner allows them to sign documents, complete registration, and manage the entire process on your behalf.
Repatriation of Funds
Up to 2 properties can have sale proceeds repatriated to Canada. Proceeds go to NRE account → Canadian bank. FEMA allows full repatriation if purchase was through NRE funds.
Tax in India
Long-term capital gains (2+ years) taxed at 12.5% without indexation. Short-term at slab rate. Rental income taxed after standard deduction. TDS applicable — your CA can file for refund if excess deducted.
Tax in Canada (FBAR/CRA)
CRA requires you to declare foreign property over CAD $100,000 on T1135. Rental income must be declared — but India-Canada DTAA prevents double taxation. Always consult a cross-border CPA.
Best Areas for Canadian NRI Investment
— Honest Area Guide
Not all locations are equal. Here’s our unfiltered assessment of which areas suit which NRI investment goals.
VIP Road, Zirakpur
Premium corridor. Malls, hospitals, schools all within 2 km. Highest appreciation but also highest entry price. Best for NRIs who want self-use + appreciation.
Airport Road, Zirakpur
NRI buyers’ #1 choice. Airport proximity + IT parks = strong rental demand. 10–15% cheaper than VIP Road with similar growth trajectory. Best value play in Tricity.
Sector 82–85, Mohali
IT hub proximity drives highest rental demand in Tricity. Working professionals queue for 2 & 3 BHK units. Best for pure rental yield maximisation.
New Chandigarh (Mullanpur)
The next big story. Cricket stadium, AIIMS satellite, planned sectors — all coming. Prices still low in 2026. Best for 5–7 year horizon investors who want maximum upside.
Patiala Road, Zirakpur
Budget-friendly entry into Zirakpur. Wider properties, less traffic. Solid for parents’ retirement home or conservative investment. Prices stable with steady growth.
Baltana & Dhakoli
Emerging corridor with low entry price and strong appreciation incoming. What Zirakpur was in 2018 — these areas will be in 2028. Ideal for 3–4 year investment plays.

About Royals
I was nervous about investing from Toronto without visiting. Manindar Ji and his team handled everything — VR tour, legal check, registration, and even tenant setup. My 3 BHK in Zirakpur now pays rent every month without me lifting a finger.
We bought a 4 BHK on VIP Road for our parents. The whole process happened over WhatsApp and Zoom calls. RERA was verified, title was clean, and possession happened on the exact date promised. That’s rare in Indian real estate — Royals delivered.
The ROI calculator on this page is accurate — I invested CAD 1.1L in a 2 BHK in Mohali in 2022, and it’s worth CAD 1.85L today. Plus I’ve earned rental income every month. Royals are the real deal for NRI investment.
