Quebec has ownership regulations for farmland that deem corporations and other legal persons as residents based on majority ownership and control by Quebec residents. Non-residents can apply to purchase farmland if the land is unsuitable for cultivation or livestock, or if the non-resident intends to settle in Quebec within 4 years and become a citizen or permanent resident. The province limits non-resident purchases to 1,000 hectares per year. The fact sheet also provides key metrics on Quebec farmland, including 8 million acres of arable land representing 5% of Canadian farmland. Major crops include corn, soybeans, barley, oats and wheat.
