Yes, We Offer a 40-Year Mortgage

Need more monthly cash flow?

For good credit clients who want lower monthly payments, introducing our Extended Mortgage with up to a 40-year amortization — one of the longest in Canada through a prime lender.

Need to go long? Our 40-year AM is here.

Can you get a 40-year mortgage with a prime lender (traditional lender) in Canada? Yes, right here at True North. Our Extended Mortgage offers more time on your loan, beyond the standard 25-year mortgage.

By extending the mortgage amortization (aka loan length), lower monthly payments can free up cash each month or improve income qualifying ratios.

Suitable for first-time and next-home buyers, rental property owners, or those refinancing who want more budget room to save, spend or invest, this product offers great rates, plus generous pre-payment privileges for future flexibility to catch up on paying down.

Read on for more qualifying details.

Takeaways:

  • A 40-year amortization isn't commonly offered through a prime lender
  • The longer mortgage length lowers payments, freeing up monthly cash flow or improving income qualifying ratios
  • Uninsured mortgage available in a 2-year fixed-rate term, offered at prime rates
  • Premium mortgage features, such as generous pre-payment privileges
  • Compare a 25-year and 40-year payment below (a rough idea — talk to a True North broker for your details)

40-Year Mortgage FAQ

Can I get a 30-year amortization with True North's Extended Mortgage?

Yes, if you qualify for this product, you can choose a 30-year loan length. In fact, with our Extended Mortgage product, you can choose from 10 years up to 40 years.

Does the Extended Mortgage offer extended qualifying ratios?

Yes, the Extended Mortgage offers more flexibility than prime (A-lending) qualifying criteria.

For even more flexible approval criteria, please see our alternative mortgage product, Compass Mortgage. Please note that Compass has its own rate and fee schedule, as is typical of an alternative product.

Is the Extended Mortgage suitable for homeowners building net-worth?

An extended amortization frees up monthly cash flow you can put to work. That could mean a down payment on a rental property, where a tenant's rent covers most or all of your mortgage payment, or extra money to invest elsewhere. Either way, that room can help support net worth strategies by allowing you to start sooner or grow your portfolio.

Note: Net-worth building strategies should be discussed with a financial advisor familiar with your situation.
