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!

SURREY, BC – The Fraser Valley market showed early signs of a spring thaw in February, with sales increasing over January, but continuing to trail typical levels for this time of year. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 843 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in February, a 36 per cent increase from January, but 38 per cent below the ten-year seasonal average. New listings declined nine per cent in February to 2,796, suggesting some sellers are choosing to wait amid competitive inventory levels, and may be positioning their homes for the peak of the spring market.
