Reviewed August 31, 2026

What you can use here

Guides cover buying, pre-approval, down payments, renewals, refinancing, payment difficulty, private mortgages, penalties, and other Ontario mortgage questions. Calculators show their assumptions and are designed for comparisons, not approvals or quotes.

How information is selected

Core rules and consumer guidance are linked to sources such as the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the Government of Ontario, the City of Toronto, and the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario. See the complete source directory.

How reviews work

Material rules and calculator assumptions are checked against the linked sources. Each guide and calculator displays its review date. The editorial policy explains corrections, limitations, and update practices.

What this site does not do

Ontario Mortgage Help does not provide mortgage approvals, rate quotes, legal advice, financial advice, or a substitute for reviewing the actual contract and transaction documents.
