flag Canada raises insured mortgage cap to $1.5M and extends amortization to 30 years, easing home buying.

flag Starting December 15, Canada will increase its insured mortgage cap from $1 million to $1.5 million, aiding more Canadians in qualifying for mortgages with down payments below 20%. flag Additionally, the amortization period for new and resale homes will extend from 25 to 30 years, reducing monthly payments. flag As of January 15, homeowners can refinance up to $2 million to build additional dwelling units. flag Despite these measures, homeownership remains challenging, especially in major cities where salaries over $100,000 are often needed to afford a home.
