Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Guidelines

All mortgages made with a down payment less than 25% of the purchase price are required to have loan insurance under the national housing act.
CMHC/GE CAP loan insurance is portable to all areas of Canada, under certain terms and conditions.  The insurance premium is calculated as a percentage of the loan amount as shown below.

Loan to Lending Value Insurance Premium
Up to 95% 2.75%
Up to 90% 2.00%
Up to 85% 1.75%
Up to 80% 1.00%

You don't have to be a first time home buyer to be able to buy with only 5% down. 95% financing is available to all buyers of a principal residence up to $250,000 in the lower mainland. The mortgage loan insurance can be added to the amount of the mortgage. CMHC will also finance home improvements at the time of purchase.
