June 1st, No Stress!
If you are thinking purchase or refinance (i.e. to get a lower rate or for debt consolidation), get in touch with your Mortgage Broker as soon as possible to discuss your situation.
Why? Uninsured mortgages (i.e. when have more than 20% equity) approved before June 1 are not subject to the new tougher stress test announced by OSFI last week, which means qualifying may be easier. This applies to purchases that close after June 1 with a signed purchase and sale agreement.
