High Ratio Mortgage Insurance

See how much mortgage insurance you will pay on a high ratio mortgage.
Mortgage default insurance is mandatory in Canada for down payments between 5% (the minimum in Canada) and 19.99%. The maximum amortization for insured mortgages is 25 years. Mortgage default insurance is not available on homes purchased for more than $1 million which means that a 20% down payment is required on these homes. If the purchase price is between $500,000 and $999,999, the minimum down payment is 5% of the first $500,000 and 10% of the remaining amount.
