Built for Canada, not adapted to it
Many property management platforms were designed for the US market and adapted for Canada later. Here's what to check before you choose one, and how Propvara handles it.
| US-built property software | Propvara | |
|---|---|---|
| Tax categories | Often Schedule E (US) | CRA Form T776 lines |
| Mortgage interest | Often monthly compounding | Canadian semi-annual compounding |
| Security deposits | US state rules | Tracks filing with provincial holders like New Brunswick's Tenant and Landlord Relations Office |
| Rent supplements | Section 8 workflows, if any | Unit- and tenant-based provincial programs with changing splits |
| Currency and taxes | USD, sales tax add-ons | CAD pricing, GST/HST/QST |
| Language | English first | French interface on the roadmap, starting with tenants |
| Province guides | Rare | All 13 provinces and territories |
Our honest take
Ask any vendor to show you a T776-ready statement, a semi-annual mortgage schedule and how they track a subsidized tenant whose split changes mid-year. Those three answers tell you who built for Canada.
