FAQ

Common Questions

Can I get a mortgage in Canada without Canadian credit history?
Yes. Lez Gomez works with Ontario lenders that offer dedicated newcomer programs which waive the Canadian credit history requirement. Instead, they accept international credit reports, reference letters from foreign banks, and proof of timely bill payments in your home country. Many newcomers qualify for A-lender rates with these programs.
How soon after arriving in Canada can I buy a home?
Some lenders require as little as 90 days in Canada. Others have no minimum residency requirement for permanent residents. Lez Gomez matches you with the right program based on how long you've been in Canada and your immigration status. Many newcomers purchase within their first year.
What down payment do newcomers need in Ontario?
Newcomers can purchase with as little as 5% down payment on properties up to $500,000 (and 10% on portions above $500K up to $1.5M). Some programs accept gifted down payments from family. Lez Gomez helps you understand all options for assembling your down payment, including using funds transferred from your home country.
Can I use foreign income to qualify for a Canadian mortgage?
Some Ontario lenders allow newcomers to use a combination of Canadian and foreign income to qualify. Others focus solely on Canadian employment. Lez Gomez evaluates your full income picture and matches you with the lender that gives you the strongest qualification based on your situation.
Does Lez Gomez help newcomers across all of Ontario?
Absolutely. Lez Gomez serves newcomer mortgage clients in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Hamilton, Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Barrie, and every Ontario community. As a licensed Ontario mortgage agent, our lender network covers the entire province.
