All high-ratio mortgages must be insured, either via CMHC or one of the two private insurers.Similarly there are two sets of guidelines for qualification: High-ratio borrowers :Mortgage qualification is based upon the Bank of Canada Benchmark 5-year Conventional Mortgage Rate (V122521) - which is presently 4.64% [Note: This is also known as the mortgage qualifying rate];Maximum amortization is 25-years;maximum purchase price or "as improved" property value must be "less than" $1,000,000;borrower's gross debt service (GDS) "less than or equal to" 39% (CMHC prefers "less than or equal to" 32%);borrower's total debt service (TDS) "less than or equal to" 44% (CMHC prefers "less than or equal to" 40%); andproperty must be owner-occupied.Low-ratio borrowers: If the lender bulk-insures their portfolio, they must qualify applicants using the the same rules as above.
