Canadians and Buying Notes

[Brianne H.]

I'm new to note investing and have a lot to learn before I'm ready to buy my first one. However, before I get too far down the path, I would like to ask those more knowledgeable than me if there are any restrictions on foreigners buying US notes (Canadian)? Are there any Canadians that invest in notes in Canada - if so, how similar or different is it to the US note industry? I assume one major difference would be the much shorter term of <5 years on them. Or are notes a non-existent investment in Canada? 

Thanks!
