Canadian mortgage with Indian home loan

[santyrogers]

Hi All,

Currently I am in Canada with PR status.
Me and my wife are currently working with a gross income of around ~230K dollars p.a.

Like everyone else, we wish to buy a house in Canada down the lane. By next year we will save for the down payment as well.

Before that I like to buy a house in India. For that I’m planning to take a housing loan in India for around 70lakh INR (Rs. 20Lakh initial).If I take that,I will be paying around Rs. 55000 /month (that is roughly around $1000 CAD)

Will this housing loan of Rs. 70 lakh ($120K CAD) affects my Canadian mortgage eligibility in the future?

kindly advice.

Thanks.

As long as you can service the Canadian mortgage and put down an adequate downpayment, I think you will be fine

Yes your Indian loan will be a factor in calculating how much of a mortgage you qualify for. Depending on the amount of downpayment you have and the average price of home you are looking at you will need to evaluate whether you should wait and purchase an Indian home after the Canadian to maximize how much of a mortgage you can get in Canada.

If you intend to make the monthly payment/transfer of around $1000 CAD from your Canadian bank accounts, that would definitely affect your future Canadian mortgage eligibility/qualification.

I think that everything will be fine. you just have to obtain a stable salary and find a good mortgage option. I stress the last one again, because this is very important

Even unstable income will be fine.

The question is whether it will have an impact and it will have an impact on the amount of mortgage the couple will qualify for.

Unlike with regular loans, mortgages sometimes may differ a lot. That means you will have to pay less or more depending on the company and the house, which is obvious, but sometimes people don't think much about it. I suggest consulting the advisor if it is possible, or read about it on the internet, on sites like navibanker, which is free. That will prevent you from misunderstandings in the contract and help you find the best option

You don't need to read anything else other than the mortgage legal document. Your solicitor will also explain the document. So no need to hire another advisor.

I am not sure if you are still actively looking for an advice but your Indian loan would not affect your Canadian mortgage classification as long as you have income/savings supporting your down payment & purchase qualification. Period. Nothing else. Reach out to me if you have any further questions.

Not correct. Other liabilities factor into how much a mortgage you can qualify for. The fact that the Canadian home would not be your first home purchase could also be an issue.

I beg to differ. Any property purchase in Canada is driven by credit report which would look at Canadian assets and liabilities to determine the mortgage qualification. As I mentioned earlier, as long as one can provide the required down payment and Canadian income required to qualify for the mortgage, his foreign liabilities does not come into picture.

Foreign liabilities like foreign mortgages would count when a lender looks at how much you qualify for. A credit report is only part of what goes into qualifying for a mortgage. You may qualify for a good rate based on your credit score but the amount you qualify for will be reduced because the lender will account for any other liabilities you have.
