Fixed and variable rate mortgages
We'll help you decide on a fixed or variable rate mortgage. The option you choose may depend on the stability of your income and your comfort level if interest rates start to rise.
- A fixed mortgage is a secure, locked-in interest rate and payment amount. You know exactly what you pay month over month, year over year.
- A variable mortgage is more flexible. Interest rate changes over time.
Depending on the timing of your pay day and how quickly you want to pay off your mortgage, you can choose from multiple payment schedules. Get in touch so we can look at your current financial situation and make a plan together.

Diverse mortgage options
Construction Mortgage
A construction mortgage lets you access funds as you move through the build. Once you know approximately how much you'd like to spend on your build, talk to us about financing options. We consider financing based on the future value of your home.
Commercial Mortgage
We're just as knowledgeable about commercial mortgages as residential. Learn more about how we can help. Learn more.
Refinancing
Advantages of refinancing can include:
- Consolidate your debt at one low rate
- A shorter mortgage term and less interest over time
- Access to additional funds for renovations or whatever you may need
- Lower rates
Mortgage Porting
To port a mortgage means to transfer your existing mortgage amount, rate and term, and amortization from your current property over to a new one. This allows you to keep your mortgage contract as is, and avoid a penalty for breaking the contract early.- Treated like a new application and requires re-qualification.
- You would need to sell your current home at the same time that you purchase a new one.
- Closing date of sale/new purchase must be within 90 days.
- If additional funds are required for the new purchase, it would be treated as a Blend & Extend, rather than a port.
