If your home will be owner-occupied, you need 5% down for the first $500,000 of the purchase price, and 10% for any amount over $500,000 up to $999,999. If the purchase price is $1,000,000 or more, the minimum down payment is 20%.
According to CMHC’s Mortgage Consumer Survey, most homebuyers are accessing their savings or equity from a previous home for their down payment. Followed by RRSP savings and gifts from family members.
