your question is too personal to answer. For me, I will buy a house within one year; i put all my money in mutual fund, and have no stocks in China or Canada

my personal suggestion...1. no one can predict the market trend, so don't count on any suggestions
2. If all you have is $10k, it's not enough to buy a house. Even you can, it will be a very old house. Further more, buy a house might cost you more than rent a two-bedroom apt.
3. find a personal financial advisor to get some suggestions. Your management style is related to your income, your target, and your tolerance.

talk to a financial planner in your bank and get some sense of investment. In my mind, cash is still the best if you are not very sure about investment.

Agree - You don't need buy a house absolutely, bearing that you plan to go to the states in 3 years. You will spend a lot of time and effort in buying a house and taking caring of a house. In additional,You will pay more interests for your mortgage and pay a agent for sale of your house (about 6% of your house value)

the rea estate price may go down next year, as many people have predictedbut, in your case, it's not wise to buy a house. when you buy a house, you would have to pay GST, PST, land transfer tax, legal fee and etc. 3 years later when you sell it, you will have to pay your agent for up to 6% of the sale price. now if the house appreciates only 2% or 3% per year, you will end up giving your profit to the agent, what if the house depreciate?
think before you buy, because house is really a burden sometimes.
