Syndicating & raising money in Canada, is it legal?

[Alex Cons]

I have been looking at real estate crowdfunding websites in Canada and it seems like they all require accredited investors (over $1m net worth, $200k+ income a year). My question is if I would be setting up a syndication in Canada, and I plan on raising money from people who are not accredited investors, who would I be able to legally accept money from? Friends and family? People in my network (acquaintances)? Friends of friends?
