Buying a Home in Canada

From renter to homeowner is one of the biggest moves a newcomer family makes. This course walks through every step — calculating an honest down payment, getting pre-approved for a mortgage, choosing condo vs house, working with a real-estate agent (and what 'buyer's agent' means), the mortgage meeting, the offer, the inspection, and the closing day. Built on current Canadian rules — minimum down payment, stress test, First Home Savings Account.
