Ask your lender about it, and if they dismiss or downplay it, you may be working with someone who isn't compliant-ready or prepared for this global change. 

I LOVE BP but feel I would definitely benefit from some Canadian based tools and resources too!

and congrats on going there its on many peoples to do listI have Canadian friends that went there yearly and raved about it. 

I do appreciate the earned income exclusion, but it still rubs me around tax time when all my British, Canadian, and Australian friends give me a hard time about how they pay no tax at all and only the US and Libya (slight exaggeration, but only slight) tax their citizens who live and work fulltime outside the US.

Some lenders would let you refi if your global cash flow can support the debt but that requires income from multiple sources (w2 income, other rentals, etc).

I am a Canadian/American dual citizen. 

The problem is the big 5 Canadian banks are very averse to short-term rentals right now.

If you plan to invest in Canada, things in the areas of finance, regulation and taxation are a little different, however there are man Canadians here on BP who can answer your questions.
