Recent rule changes to high-ratio mortgage means that mortgages requiring CMHC and GE Insurance, makes it more difficult for individuals to qualify for a mortgage. To view the new rules under The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), go to www.investopedia.com for the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Definition.
As of July 2012, CMHC insured mortgages, no longer offer 30 or 35 year amortized mortgages and will not insure any mortgages over a million dollars. The maximum amortization period now offered by high ratio insurance companies, is 25 years, with a minimum down payment of 5% subject to CMHC qualifications, with the maximum gross debt service (GDS) ratio being 32% and the maximum total debt service (TDS) ratio being 40% with provable income.
