FAQ
Yes, you can. Several lenders offer special mortgage programs for newcomers with limited Canadian credit history. If you have a work permit, permanent resident status, or a valid visa and meet the income and down payment requirements, you may be eligible.
Typically, newcomers need at least a 5% down payment for homes under $500,000. The source of funds must be verifiable—such as savings, gifts from family, or international accounts that can be documented. In some cases, larger down payments can increase your chances of approval.
No, not always. Some lenders accept international credit reports or base their approval on rental history, utility bills, and employment records. We’ll help you build a strong application with what you have.
Lenders generally require proof of stable employment or income in Canada. If you're new to a job, have a contract position, or are transferring with an employer, there are options to qualify. We'll walk you through what counts and how to document it properly.
Yes. Lack of credit is different from bad credit. Many lenders offer “no credit” programs for newcomers, and we can also guide you in building credit fast to strengthen your application.
Yes, certain lenders accept work permits or other visa types. The type of mortgage you qualify for may vary, but you don’t always need to be a permanent resident to get approved.
There’s no strict timeline. Some programs are open to applicants within weeks of arriving, as long as they meet income and identification requirements. Others are available after 6 months to 2 years of living in Canada.
