Many newcomers to Canada have come to this country in pursuit of a great dream; a better quality of life, more opportunities for their children and families, employment prospects where hard work can pay off, and maybe even homeownership. But no matter their country of origin, there are challenges to navigating the real estate and mortgage landscape for most newcomers buying a house in Canada for the first time. Property Finance Corp. is committed to guiding newcomers through the complex world of mortgage services with knowledgeable advice, thorough education, and careful consideration to the unique needs of buyers new to Canada.
NAVIGATING AN UNFAMILIAR LANDSCAPE
Property Finance Corp. has extensive experience partnering with newcomers to Canada on their exciting journey towards home ownership. Whether you are ready to buy your first home right now, or you need to prepare yourself to make homeownership possible in the future, we have the skills and the tools to help you make your dream a reality. Here are just some of the obstacles to home buying for newcomers that we can help you understand:
Affordability
Determining what you can afford is one of the first steps to purchasing your home. Your expenses and budget, the type and size of home you will need, how you will fund your down payment, the frequency of your payments and the interest rate available for you are all factors affecting what you will be able to afford.
Lack Of Credit History
If you are new to Canada, you may not have a credit history established here. This is one of the major requirements for lenders. We can help you explore your options to provide good credit history to your mortgage provider with a history from your country of origin, a large down payment, securing your loan with personal assets, or taking the time to build a strong credit score in Canada.
Lack Of Employment History
Proof of steady and sustained employment is key when applying for a mortgage. Lenders will often require at least three months of full-time employment when offering a mortgage. You may be able to negotiate with your lender by providing a larger down payment or with a guarantee of employment from your employer. Let Property Finance Corp. help you navigate this concern with your lender.
Extra Taxes Dependent on Status
If you are purchasing your first home in Canada as a non-resident you may be subject to extra taxes and fees. Let Property Finance Corp. guide you with solid advice as you balance the costs of additional levies against waiting until you have received Permanent Resident or Citizenship status.
Understanding Canadian Mortgage Structures
The banking and lending systems in your country of origin may be drastically different from the mortgage structures in Canada. Some European countries offer 100% mortgages. In China, fewer than 20% of homeowners hold mortgages. In Sweden, 50-year mortgage terms are available. And in much of the world mortgage financing is not even available. Educating all of our clients, including newcomers, on the products and services available is what we do best.

Don’t Let The Rates Fool You
Every mortgage customer focuses on advertised rates as they search for the “best” mortgage available. Good rates are great, but they do not tell the whole story. The length of the mortgage term, amortization, repayment flexibility, and type of interest are just some of the other factors that will determine the best mortgage for you. Property Finance Corp. can connect you with the mortgage products that meet each of your needs and that sets you up for a strong financial future.
