Re: Canadian Timeshare - Have you sold one -- How? (by KC):

There are many timeshares throughout Canada, on both coats and in between. I don't know what you own or where you own or what week(s) you own --- or if it whatever you own even has any value or demand at all in the resale market (it may or may not).

In any case, whether a timeshare is located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico or wherever else the answer is the same --- you need to ADVERTISE in order to find a new willing recipient. Consider using RedWeek, Timeshare Users Group, Craigslist, MyResortNetwork.com. WHATEVER you do, don't pay ANY upfront fee company a single penny! Your only out of pocket costs to find a new owner should be relatively minor fees for ads which you place on your own, such as fees for advertising here on RedWeek for example). If you pay ANY upfront fee company making empty promises, rest assured that you WILL get burned. Forewarned is forearmed.

P.S. If your timeshare has no resale demand or value whatsoever, as a last resort (no pun intended) you can ask the resort HOA if they will accept a "deedback". There must be no outstanding loan balance or any unpaid fees for a deedback request to even be considered. Even then, they might decline. No resort anywhere is ever obligated to accept a "deedback"; it is a purely voluntarily choice and decision by the resort homeowners association. You won't know until / unless you ask. Ask the HOA President and do so in writing; do NOT call and ask uninformed employees answering phones at the resort, since they have no authority whatsoever to decide (or to even discuss) "deedback" matters. ONLY the HOA (not ANY resort employee) can make that decision.

Good luck.
