How will the new mortgage rules affect mortgage pre-approvals?  TD Canada Trust is ready to answer your questions and guide you through these changes. For more information visit https://go.td.com/2A34Rv4

The new mortgage rules come into effect on January 1, 2018.
Under the new Canadian mortgage rules, home buyers who have a down payment of 20% or more will be subject to a stress test.  The stress test will use either 5-year benchmark rate published by the Bank of Canada or customer's mortgage interest rate plus 2%, whichever is the higher.

If you already have your mortgage pre-approval and purchase your home before your pre-approval expires, you are not affected by the new rules, regardless of when it closes.
