New to Canada

A new start, with a clearer mortgage plan.

Understand how residency, Canadian credit history and income documentation affect your purchase options.

Review your circumstances

Residency status, time in Canada, employment and property use influence lender eligibility. Share the full picture before choosing a price range.

Document your financial history

Lenders may request Canadian or international credit evidence, bank references and records showing the source of your down payment. Requirements are program-specific.

Coordinate professional advice

Mortgage eligibility is separate from permission to buy property and tax treatment. Ask your legal and tax professionals to confirm any rules that apply to your purchase.

A useful starting checklist

  • Residency and identification documents through a secure channel
  • Employment and income evidence
  • Canadian and overseas financial records as requested
  • Down-payment source and transfer history
