Housing Loan, Toronto?

I am wondering how to get a housing loan in Toronto, if I am there as a students.

I am planning to come to Toronto to study, and instead of renting, I want to buy a house while I study in toronto.

I have no income (student status), but I can pay close to CAD$80K, and have a rental fee from my own house outside canada. Not sure if there is any bank that I can talk to for loan.

Any opinion?

    Without a steady job and income over $50,000 a year, you will not get a home loan.

    Remember that buying a home costs you more than renting now, if you stay in it less than about 10 years.

    The days when anyone could get a loan and you could make 20% a year are long gone with the crash. And those sort of loans were only available in the USA anyway.

    Just rent a place to live. It will be a lot cheaper than house payments.
