Questions People Ask First

Residences are six-bedroom homes in Brampton and Mississauga, leased by the year to one group. Extended Stays run from 28 nights to a whole season in five homes, between 1 November to 30 April.

What is the difference between a Residence and an Extended Stay?

A Residence is a lease, and an Extended Stay is a stay with an end date. A Canterra Stays Residence is a furnished six-bedroom home let to one group on Ontario's standard lease, under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, for a year or more. An Extended Stay is 28 nights to a season in a home that takes short stays for the rest of the year, on a written stay agreement with the end date set before you arrive.

When does Canterra Stays take Extended Stays, and why only then?

Canterra Stays takes Extended Stays from 1 November to 30 April. Those are the quieter months for short stays in the Greater Toronto Area, so the homes are free for weeks or months at a time. From May to October the same homes host wedding weeks, reunions and summer visits, and return to short stays.

Which Canterra Stays homes take Extended Stays?

Five Canterra Stays homes take Extended Stays: The Castlemore Estate and The Poolside Estate, with eight bedrooms each, in Brampton; The Wedding & Group Retreat, with four bedrooms, in Brampton; the Downtown Skyline Penthouse, with one bedroom, in Toronto; and the Square One Suite, with one bedroom, in Mississauga.

Which homes are Residences, and are they available now?

Canterra Stays has two Residences: The Brampton Residence, in Bram East, and The Mississauga Residence, in Malton beside Toronto Pearson Airport. Each has six furnished bedrooms, two kitchens and two living rooms. Both are currently leased. Send an enquiry with your dates and the size of your group to hear about the next availability.

What is the shortest and the longest long stay?

The shortest Canterra Stays long stay is 28 nights. An Extended Stay can run for the whole season, from 1 November to 30 April. A Residence has no end date: it is leased for a year or more, and the tenancy continues for as long as it suits the residents.

What is included in a Canterra Stays long stay?

Every Canterra Stays long stay includes the furniture and linens, an equipped kitchen, electricity, natural gas heating, hot water, water, laundry in the home, parking, and a host team you can message.

Yes. Canterra Stays invoices employers, relocation firms, insurers and travel programmes directly, and a family member can pay for a guest. The payer is agreed in writing before the stay begins, and every receipt is issued in the payer's name.
