Buying a property for a newcomer / Non-permanent resident
Have you just immigrated to Canada and believe that buying a property is beyond your reach? Think again. It can be accessible through good planning and sound advice from real estate and mortgage brokers. A down payment of 5% is enough to access the property. However, mortgage loan insurance will be required from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The amount of the premium to be paid will depend on the amount of the down payment. To be eligible for a mortgage, newcomers need sufficient savings and proof of stable employment, like a native Canadian. But they will also have to provide certain documents, which vary depending on the down payment.
