To qualify for a mortgage in Canada, you typically need to have a good credit score, a stable source of income, and a down payment of at least 5% of the First 500K purchase price and 10% of the remaining up to 999K maximum purchase price. Lenders will also consider your debt-to-income ratio and other factors such as your employment history and savings. It’s a good idea to speak with a mortgage professional to get a better understanding of your specific qualifications.
You can increase your credit score by paying your bills on time, keeping your credit utilization low, preferable at 50% of the total limit and checking your credit report for errors. Additionally, avoiding opening too many new credit accounts and having a mix of different types of credit can also help.
