Mortgage loan insurance

The minimum down payment required to purchase a property is 5%. If your down payment is less than 20% of the value of the property you wish to purchase, your loan must be insured by a recognized insurer such as the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) or Sagen. A premium based on your down payment and loan is calculated and then added to your mortgage.
