Hi Zovac. There are things you can start doing right away such as learning about the home buying process, researching areas you may want to live in, identifying your needs and wants, saving for a downpayment and closing costs, and building your credit in Canada. Securing stable employment is also key in order to qualify for a mortgage. It will probably take a while to sufficiently build your credit to qualify for a mortgage (up to 18 months) unless you have a very large downpayment.
