Who Needs Mortgage Loan Insurance?



Typically, lenders require mortgage loan insurance for loans made to anyone that wishes to purchase a home with less than 20% of the purchase price. The Canadian Bank Act prohibits most federally regulated lending institutions from providing mortgages without mortgage loan insurance for amounts that exceed 80% of the value of the home or purchases with less than 20% down payment.


Through your lender, CMHC Mortgage Loan Insurance enables you to finance up to 95% of the purchase price of a home.
