Canadian property law, or property law in Canada, is the body of law concerning the rights of individuals over land, objects, and expression within Canada. It encompasses personal property, real property, and intellectual property. The laws vary between local municipal levels, up to provincial and then a countrywide federal level of government. And the form of purchase can vary from sale to different types of leases, whilst transactions can be made through a physical paper form or digitally for the acquisition of property in Canada's ten provinces and three territories.
