A conventional mortgage in Canada normally requires a down payment of at least 20% of the purchase price. When homebuyers have less than 20% for a down payment, Mortgage Insurance allows them to secure a mortgage for their home purchase. Tailored Mortgage Insurance products from Genworth Canada can help achieve the dream of homeownership sooner with as little as 5% down.
