联邦新政对于其他名词的范畴外延解析如下：（摘自）
1. 住房的定义：仅限于有独立厨房设施，独立卫浴设施，用于私人的居住住房 (local d’habitation)。新政并不禁止海外买家购买除住宅类物业外其他类别房产：比如商业、农地、工业等非住房类不动产。
新政没有提及对海外买家所能购置的住宅物业价格的上限条款（具体条件需要继续关注日后联邦政府出台的新政实施细则！）
此外，如果独立屋或独栋建筑，是由三个以上住宅单位组成的物业，不在海外买家限购的范围以内。（提醒有意在安省投资置业的小伙伴们，想要不交海外买家税，在安省购置的独栋住宅建筑需要是由六个以上住宅单位组成的，比如一栋六层的公寓楼，每层都有一个单独的住宅单位。所以如果是海外买家，在安省投资了三个单位以上，但不足六个单位的住宅楼，您仍然需要缴纳20%购房总价的海外买家税的，这样的住宅如果用于了出租，那么，退税会有困难，因为不符合自住房的退税前提条件了。）
2. 海外买家、外国人定义：a.非加拿大公民或原住民，也没有加拿大枫叶卡的人士。b.非加拿大联邦或各省注册的公司法人。c.在海外上市的加拿大联邦或省立公司属于被外国人控制的加拿大公司，不被认为是加拿大的法人。
What types of residential property are exempt from the prohibition on the purchase of residential property by non-Canadians?
- The prohibition applies to residential property, which includes detached houses or similar buildings of one to three dwelling units, as well as parts of buildings such as semi-detached houses, condominium units, or other similar premises.
- The Government intends to exclude recreational properties from the prohibition. As such, the Government is proposing to provide an exception in the regulations for any residential property located outside of a Census Metropolitan Area or Census Agglomeration.
- The Government is proposing to apply the prohibition to vacant land, only where the land has been zoned for residential use or mixed use by municipal authorities and is within a Census Metropolitan Area or Census Agglomeration.（CMHC)
