Information alone is not enough. A professional mortgage broker has something far more valuable: years of experience and your needs in mind. They put the information in context, they anticipate the variables and find the best loan for you. This is the kind of help you don't want to be without.
Qualified homebuyers who have immigrated or relocated to Canada within the last 5 years are eligible to purchase a property with as little as a 5% down payment.
Genworth’s New to Canada program helps new Canadians purchase their first home sooner, making it easier for these families to become economically established in Canada.
This program provides up to 95% loan-to-value ratio (LTV) for qualified homebuyers. The LTV indicates how much of the property is being financed, so this high LTV is ideal for first time buyers who may not have the necessary funds to pay a lot upfront for their new home.
Highlights:
What Kind of Property Can I Buy?
This program is designed to help a single family, which means the home you purchase cannot have more than two units and you must live in one of them. Your new home must be covered by an approved New Home Warranty Program.
You can also buy an existing home, but it must be a residential home in an area that shows a steady history of sales and purchases.
What Do I Need to Get the Mortgage?
You must have proof that you have been working full-time in Canada for at least 3 months.
Your 5% down payment must come from your own savings. It’s also possible for your family to give you the down payment as a gift, or for your employer to subsidize the down payment as part of your relocation agreement.
If you owe money outside of Canada on a loan, mortgage, credit card, or any other kind of debt, the amount of your debt must be included in your application.
