Frequently Asked Questions

First-time Canadian homebuyers can access several financial benefits, including the Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP), GST/HST rebate on new housing, First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit, and provincial land transfer tax rebates. 

When acquiring Mortgages with less than 20% down you must have Mortgage Loan Insurance provided by either the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) or Genworth Canada.

Most times Canadian homebuyers save for a down payment, with certain lenders you could put down as little as 5% of the purchase price which can come from sources other than your own. These lending arrangements are subject to certain restrictions based on income level and credit score.

The 5% down payment can come from borrowed funds such as a line of credit or family member. Keep in mind that the amount borrowed for a down payment is factored into debt service ratios which will establish how much you are eligible to borrow.

The 5% down payment can come from a cash back feature of the mortgage. This will mean that you will have to take the posted rate which is undiscounted required by the lending institution.

In addition to the down payment, according to CMHC and Genworth rules you must have 1.5% of the purchase price available to cover the closing costs including, but not limited to, legal fees and disbursements, appraisal fees and a survey certificate, where applicable.
