Structuring a Cross-Border Construction Financing

This presentation reviews considerations for US lenders in Canada in terms of the Bank Act, the Income Tax Act, and the Canada-US Tax Treaty, as well as other statuatory considerations.  It then provides an overview of the Canadian infrastructure market, outlines a 'typical' financing structure, and then discusses lenders' enforcement rights and cross-border insolvency issues.

Presented by Bruce Darlington at the Federated Press 8th Construction Financing Course, with contributions to the presentation content from Lindsay Krauss and Ian Bendell.
