Mortgage Pre-Approval FAQs

Does getting pre-approved guarantee that I will receive a mortgage?

No. A pre-approval gives you an indication of how much a lender may be willing to lend based on the information reviewed. Final mortgage approval remains subject to the lender’s requirements, the property and your financial circumstances.

A lender may perform a credit check as part of the pre-approval process. Ask your mortgage professional what type of credit inquiry will be required before proceeding.

It depends on the lender. Some lenders may also offer an interest-rate hold for a defined period. Your mortgage professional can confirm the applicable expiry date and terms. FCAC notes that rate holds can vary by lender. Canada

Not necessarily. Mortgages with less than a 20% down payment are generally insured and are subject to applicable qualification and minimum down-payment requirements

Absolutely. In fact, understanding your potential budget first can make it easier to select the right home, lot and community.

Yes. Your mortgage professional may simply require additional income documentation, such as CRA Notices of Assessment or business-related information.

No. You’re welcome to use your own bank, mortgage broker or lender.
