A rebate of the NRST(Non-resident Speculation tax) may be available in the following situations:
The foreign national becomes a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada within four years of the date of the purchase or acquisition;
The foreign national is a student who has been enrolled full-time for at least two years from the date of purchase or acquisition in an “approved institution”, as outlined in Ontario Regulation 70/17 of the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities Act; or
The foreign national has legally worked full-time in Ontario for a continuous period of one year since the date of purchase or acquisition.
In order to be eligible for the rebates, the foreign national must exclusively hold the property, or hold the property exclusively with his or her spouse.

The rebate will be paid with interest, calculated at the prescribed refund rate under the Land Transfer Tax Act.
留学生学满两年后才可以退,工签工作满一年以后才能退。影响挺大的,意味着首付要多出15%,并不是什么人都能承受的,虽然以后能退。
