Residential mortgages: your bank only shows you its own loans.

In Québec, a mortgage broker must offer you loans from several lenders. They look for the one that fits your goals and finances, and may advise you against borrowing. We also arrange financing to buy or renew your home or plex in Québec and Ontario.

When to call us

  • You are buying your first home.
  • You are buying a duplex or triplex and will live in one of the units.
  • Your term is ending and you want to compare before signing the renewal.
  • You want to take equity out of your home for a project.

How much you can borrow.

The stress test. For an uninsured mortgage at a federally regulated lender, you must qualify at the higher of your contract rate plus 2%, or 5.25%.

At renewal. If you move an uninsured mortgage to another federally regulated lender at maturity, without increasing the amount or the amortization, the test doesn't apply again.

Insured mortgages. Since December 15, 2024, an insured mortgage is available on a property up to $1.5M. First-time buyers and buyers of new builds can amortize over 30 years.

Plexes. If you live in a duplex, CMHC can count up to 100% of the other unit's gross rent; for a triplex or fourplex, up to 50%.

Welcome tax. In Québec, 0.5% up to $62,900, 1% up to $315,000, 1.5% above; cities can charge more above $500,000. A new tax credit can pay back up to $5,875 to first-time buyers.
