1.  Anyone having PR can buy a property in Canada.
2.  House loan : Normally cash down is 10 % with income proof, No income proof is necessary if someone puts cash down 35 %.
3.  Buying house before job is not a good idea for new immigrants. One should take some time. look is it safe locality, distance from workplace,  school ratings from Fraser report, public transport etc etc.   
4.  Average cost : see here http://www.livingin-canada.com/house-prices-canada.html

Also make sure you get a home inspection before you buy.  They will take a good look at the property you want to buy and tell you if there is anything wrong with it.

Hello,
I have a suggestion before buying any house in Canada, watch the Program name "Property virgin" from HGTV.ca. or http://www.hgtv.ca/propertyvirgins/video.aspx

Though, I am not a home owner, but It might be informative for new buyer.
Thanks.
