Canada pairs a stable banking system with two of North America's most expensive metros — Toronto and Vancouver. Mortgage rates in 2026 run about 5.49–5.69%, with 5-year fixed terms the national standard.
Crucial for international readers: Canada's prohibition on residential purchases by non-Canadians has been extended in many areas. Always verify the current rules and exemptions before planning a purchase.
Market overview
Canadian fixed mortgages renew every ~5 years rather than running the full amortization, exposing borrowers to rate resets. Land transfer taxes are provincial (plus a municipal layer in Toronto), and additional foreign-buyer/vacancy taxes exist in BC and Ontario. Yields average ~4.6% gross.
