Canada is lucky enough to be the chosen home of many immigrants. Some retain and or purchase property in their original country during marriage. When those people divorce in Canada, dealing with their Foreign Property (including Real Estate) poses additional challenges.
In Nova Scotia there is a distinction made by the Court between Movable and Immovable Property in a foreign jurisdiction. That distinction impacts on the law applied to the division.
The first step in dealing with Immovable Property (Real Estate) in a foreign jurisdiction, is often proving or agreeing on a valuation.
