Loan styles, buyer support and calculator limits

Mortgages have a full amortization period but usually a shorter contractual term that must be renewed. Fixed-rate loans conventionally use semiannual compounding; insured and uninsured lending rules differ.

Common loan styles

  • Fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgages
  • High-ratio insured mortgages when the down payment is below 20%, subject to price and eligibility rules
  • Conventional uninsured mortgages, readvanceable products and home-equity lines

Government or structured support

  • First Home Savings Account: tax-deductible contributions up to CA$8,000 annually and CA$40,000 lifetime
  • Home Buyers’ Plan: eligible RRSP withdrawal up to CA$60,000
  • Provincial land-transfer rebates and shared-equity programs vary by location

What to verify locally

  • Separate amortization from renewal term
  • Apply Canadian compounding and price-based minimum down payment
  • Treat insurance premium, transfer tax and post-renewal rate as separate inputs
