the terms under which a forest manager or owner possesses the rights and assumes the responsibilities, to use, harvest, or manage one or more forest resources in a specified forest area for a specified period of time. Note: private ownership of forestland is the strongest form of tenure, as the rights and obligations rest solely with the forest owner. Forest tenures of public land in Canada fall into two main categories: area-based and volume-based. Area-based tenures not only confer timberharvest rights out also usually oblige the tenure holder to assume forest management responsibilities. Volume-based tenures normally give the holder the right to harvest specific volumes of timber in areas specified by the landowner or manager but can also oblige holders to assume forest management responsibilities.

Across Canada, there are three (3) types of tenure: 1. A freehold tenure means that you own the property, the land on which the property sits, as well as the right to live on the property. 2. A leasehold tenure means that you purchase the right to live on the property for a set period of time, after which the right is transferred back to the owner of the property. 3. A condominium tenure means that you co-own the entire property along with other owners, but the interior of the dwelling to which you have title (i.e., your "condo") is owned by you alone. In Québec, there are two (2) types of co-ownership: divided and undivided. A divided co-ownership is the equivalent of any condominium property anywhere in Canada, as described above. An undivided property may result because of a contract, an estate, a judgement or by operation of law. It gives the other co-owners certain rights that enable them to overwrite a purchase agreement. Please note that ING DIRECT does not finance any undivided property as described in the Civil Code of Québec.
