Mortgage Market Performance and Urbanization Rates
Canadian mortgages consistently outperform U.S. and
U.K. mortgages
Low defaults and arrears reflect the strong Canadian credit culture
Mortgage interest is generally not tax deductible, resulting in an incentive for
mortgagors to limit their amount of mortgage debt
In most provinces, lenders have robust legal recourse to recoup losses
Mortgage arrears have steadily declined from high of 0.45% in 2009 to
0.15% in June 20231
