Moving to a new country can be a difficult and very stressful decision. You need to get a new job, find new friends and make millions of small and large decisions. What else is on your table, as a new immigrant?

Oh yes – a home to live in! You need a place to live, and taking into consideration the prices for rent in Vancouver and Toronto, both cities where many immigrants first arrive, it becomes clear that buying a house might be a better option than renting one. 

As you are new here you most likely will not have a credit history or a job jet. However, if you brought all of your savings to Canada, then perhaps you can think of applying it towards a down payment instead of rent so that you can have a place to call your own.

You would need a 35% down payment and around 10% on top of it, to pay your mortgage for the first 2 years.

There is no need to wait for full citizenship. As soon as you have your PR, you can purchase your home in Canada.

Please note that a bank may ask for the international credit report (depending on the country you arrived from) and check your credibility.
