You can occupy one unit and then consider it a primary residence. That would allow you to go with a lower down payment, which will depend on the number of units. 5% is usually 1-2 units.

Otherwise, you would need to come up with 20%.

For insured, high-ratio mortgages on owner occupied residential properties in Canada, the maximum LTV is 95% on SFRs and duplexes and 90% on triplexes and quadriplexes.

For a conventional, residential mortgage the LTV must be "less than or equal to" 80%.
