But once again the main problem becomes how do you prove whether or not a home is "occupied". According to the laws, it has to be occupied for 6 months out of the year or be a principle residence (plus a bunch of other exemptions for death, renovations, etc..). It'd be pretty easy to fake that. Although I could see a lot of people getting themselves into trouble, because if you declare a principle residence in Canada, you are then subject to income tax in Canada.
