A New Life In Canada Starts With A New Home.

Rita Cousins Senior Mortgage Advisor • December 14, 2021

With Mortgage Financing, home ownership for new Canadians is possible.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • A valid work permit or verification
    of landed immigrant status

  • 3 months of employment history. If you
    arrived as part of a corporate relocation,
    you are exempt from this requirement.

  • A down payment of typically 5% if you
    have full-time employment

REMEMBER, YOU HAVE OPTIONS!

There are other ways to demonstrate credit-worthiness that lenders will recognize such as:


  • Proof of 1 year’s timely rent payment
    history (to a non-family member)

  • 12 months of payment statements for
    utilities, phone, cable, documented savings
    or insurance premiums

I have excellent relationships with multiple mortgage lenders who specialize in
programs designed for new Canadians.


I look forward to helping you with your
first home in Canada! CALL TODAY!

A new global analysis suggests Canada’s major metros are among the hardest places on earth for young people to buy their first home, with Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal ranking near the bottom of a 70-city affordability index. The study, from UAE-based developer Bloom Holding, estimates the typical first-time buyer in Vancouver enters the market at age 46, while those in Toronto and Montreal reach homeownership at around 40 and 39, respectively. The findings echo a broader North American trend. In the United States, the median first-time buyer age has climbed to a record 40, according to the National Association of Realtors — up from 33 just a few years ago — as higher rates and decade-long price gains delay ownership for younger households.  👉 Read the Article Here
