New Comer To Ontario
New immigrants to Canada play a vital and important role in the future population growth of Canada. They also help in creating and establishing new opportunities for marketing. All immigrants, whether they have permanent or non permanent status of residence, are offered insured financing for borrowing loan. With this facility of insured financing, the immigrants find it much easier to buy a home in Canada and their dream of owning a house is accomplished.
"New to Canada" is a policy which supports the mortgage financing to new comers to Canada. A large number of banks in Canada have acquired this insured policy to facilitate the immigrants in home buying. This policy is provided to new immigrants who have zero Canadian credit score. Banks have adopted this policy in collaboration with Glenworth Financial and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. They are mortgage insurance companies which were listed as defaulters.
In the past, the new immigrants to Canada were only offered with mortgage lending which were the guidelines of Equity Lending. The applicants were only allowed to borrow only 75 % of loan-to-value limits. But with the introduction of New to Canada policy, the new comers and new immigrants who have qualified for this new insurer's program will be able to borrow 95% mortgage financing of loan-to-value limits.
