New Immigrant to Canada
As a New Immigrant to Canada you have a few options available to you, to finance the purchase of a home in the form of a New Immigrant Mortgage or New to Canada mortgage.

If you are New to Canada for and have not purchased a home or would like to refinance your existing home, we can help.
There are many options available to new immigrants looking for a mortgage. You can put down as little as 10% of the purchase price depending on your situation, however, the smaller your down payment, the more documentation the lender will require.
Those persons who would otherwise be considered Non-Residents but who have valid Canadian work permits are eligible for financing not otherwise available to them. In fact, some lending institutions will lend up to 90% of the purchase price (or value of the property) to an applicant who has a valid work permit and is working in Canada, if the mortgage is insured. CMHC guidelines for granting mortgage insurance to persons with a valid work permit restrict financing to purchases only, not refinancing. The property purchased must be only one unit and owner occupied.
Let us assist you in paving a clear road to the future.
