Ghana’s High Commissioner to Canada, Her Excellency Prof. Dora Francisca Edu-Buandoh and her staff at the Consulate-General in Toronto have been extra busy recently as they put everything in excellent shape for the official launch of Diaspora Property Expo (DPE) Canada 2027 – Ghana@70 Edition, slated for Friday, November 27, 2026, at 11:00 am.
The launch will be held under the patronage of the High Commissioner. Speakers at the event will include Mr Ahmed Ibrahim, Minister for Works, Housing and Water Resources; Dr James Ato Orleans-Lindsay, President, Ghana Real Estate Developers Association (GREDA); and Mr Emmanuel Jeffrey, Acting CEO of Ghana Real Estate Agency Sector (REAC).
The programme will be used to unveil the first 20 top Ghanaian exhibitors for the 2027 DPE. They include leading real estate developers, mortgage banks, financial service providers
and allied service providers in Ghana’s real estate value chain.
DPE is one of Africa’s biggest real estate exhibitions designed for Africans in the diaspora to explore property ownership and investment opportunities back home. It was originally launched at the Marriott Hotel in Accra in November 2024.
It was then outdoored at the Ghana Embassy in Washington, DC, in January 2025 before hosting the main 2025 editions in Philadelphia in March 2025 and the Canada edition in Toronto in May 2025.
The 2027 DPE will be held in two major editions: DPE Germany 2027 in March 2027 and DPE Canada 2027 from May 22 to May 23, 2027 in Toronto. According to H.E. Prof. Dora Francisca Edu-Buandoh, DPE Canada 2027 forms an integral part of the Ghana@70 celebration in Canada.
She indicated that the High Commission is partnering organisers Diaspora Property Investment Ltd, Aim 2 Impact, Made in Ghana Consulting Ltd and other strategic partners to ensure only vetted and REAC-verified exhibitors are permitted to participate.
That stance is to ensure 100% transparency, avoid fraudulent dealings and, in the process, make sure Ghana turns annual diaspora remittances into useful investments in the country.
Mr David Sey, DPE’s Communications Assistant, has also said that the launch would unveil an innovative product called ‘Lead, Contract and Close in 2 days, Guaranteed’.
“It means we have been using the past months, since the 2025 editions in Philadelphia and Toronto, to gather real leads, real buyers with ready money waiting to buy, making DPE 2027 not your typical talk shop but a real big deal where exhibitors will sign contracts on the spot,” Mr Sey explained.
According to the Exhibitions Coordinator of Made in Ghana Consulting Ltd, Jennifer Effah Sasu, the launch will also unveil the full roadmap to DPE 2027, including activities for Ghana Week in Toronto 2027 and the Ghana@70 Celebrations in Canada.
The event is organised by Canada-based Aim 2 Impact and Accra-based Diaspora
Property Investment Ltd and Made in Ghana Consulting Ltd in partnership with the
Ghana High Commission in Ottawa and Ghana Consulate General in Toronto, Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Works, Housing & Water Resources, Real Estate Agency
Council (REAC) and Ghana Real Estate Developers Association (GREDA)
DPE Canada 2027- Ghana@70 Edition, is co-sponsored by Dover Company Ltd, Chiraq Multimedia Ltd and Signum Developers.
