Debt service flexibilities, LTVs offered and amortization options are based on the assessment of the strength of the application. Satisfying the minimum credit score requirement alone does not automatically entitle the borrower to maximum LTV and amortization options or debt service flexibilities. Some parameters, such as LTV, may differ for AB, SK and NL.

The pre-payment privilege is non-cumulative and is available after the first anniversary of the mortgage. Additional conditions to the pre-payment privilege may apply.
