New To CanadaÂ
Buy Your First Home in Ontario with as Little as 5% Down
Welcome to Canada! Transitioning to a new country comes with many milestones, and buying your first home shouldn't have to wait. If you have moved to Canada within the last five years, holding permanent resident status or a valid work permit, you can qualify for specialized New to Canada mortgage programs with as little as a 5% down payment.
​
As an independent licensed mortgage agent, I help newcomers navigate Canadian lending guidelines, establish local credit, and secure competitive mortgage rates across Ontario.
Qualification Requirements
Canadian mortgage default insurers (such as CMHC, Sagen, and Canada Guaranty) offer insured mortgage programs specifically designed for new immigrants. You do not need years of Canadian credit history to qualify.
Basic Eligibility Checklist
- Status: Valid Work Permit or Permanent Resident status.
- Employment: Minimum 3 months of full-time Canadian employment.
- Down Payment: Minimum 5% from saved resources or family gifts.
- Credit: Alternate verification via 12 months of rental or utility payments.
Navigating the Canadian banking system as a newcomer can feel overwhelming. You do not need years of local credit history to buy your home in Ontario.
I manage the entire mortgage approval process - explaining specialized newcomer programs, documenting your international income and assets, and securing competitive mortgage rates from top Canadian lenders who understand your unique background.
