The following is only meant to serve as a general guide to Canadian mortgages - it may not apply in every case.
Most Canadian mortgages are what’s known as “full status” - a full status loan is where complete checks are made on the borrower’s credit history and income.

When it comes to eligibility for a loan and size of a loan you need to know the following: -
- Eligibility is based on the applicant’s current ability to fulfil the financial terms of the loan, it is not based on any potential rental income the applicant may generate from the property he is hoping to purchase with the mortgage.
- Taking the applicant’s gross income into account, 40% should cover all existing outgoings and commitments AND the monthly repayments for the proposed new mortgage.
- If you’re self employed then your income will be taken as the average of your last three years’ net income.
- If you have existing rental and/or investment income this may be taken into consideration as well.
- Outgoings in this context are any current mortgage or rent you pay, any personal loans or credit card payments you have and any child support payments you have to make.
If your mortgage application is successful it will of course be secured on the property you’re buying in Canada and not on any property you currently hold in which ever country you are a resident.
