How do I get started?
You need to apply for a high ratio mortgage. The application will be submitted to CMHC. After approval of the application, you have 6 months to find a new home.
Does the incentive have to be repaid?
It needs to be repaid when you sell your home or after 25 years. The amount that needs to be repaid will be the original amount of the incentive plus an equivalent share of the property appreciation based on the current fair market value of your home when you sell it or it's value after 25 years.
