Fortunately Canadians are smart enough not to make RICO level mortgage origination fraud legal (unlike your southern neighbors here in the US) so a collapse brought on by mortgage rates resetting on borrowers who had no business getting a mortgage in the first place is very unlikely.On the other hand with mortgage rates below 3% and most Canadian mortgages being short term (compared to a 30 year in the US at least) if rates rose significantly a lot of folks might have a hard time affording the new payment when the loan was due to roll over.
