Structure of the Canadian residential mortgage market with
comparisons to the United States
•

•
•
.
Conservative lending practices, strong underwriting and documentation discipline have led to low delinquency rates
Over the last 30 years, Canada's 90-day residential mortgage delinquency rate has never exceeded 0.7%
Mandatory government-backed insurance for high loan to value (LTV >80%) mortgages covering the full balance
Government regulation, including progressive tightening of mortgage rules, to promote a healthy housing market
-
All mortgages, including variable rate, are adjudicated at a stressed interest rate which is the higher of the qualifying rate
(currently 5.25%) or the customer contract rate +200 bps to ensure customers can service the debt under higher rates
Shorter term mortgages (avg. 5 years), renewable and re-priced at maturity, compared to 30 years in the U.S. market
No mortgage interest deductibility for income tax purposes (reduces incentive to take on higher levels of debt)
In Canada, mortgages are held on balance sheet; in the U.S., they may be sold or securitized in the U.S. market
Recourse back to the borrower in most provinces
Prepayment penalties borne by the borrower whereas U.S. mortgages may be prepaid without penalty
