You would need to talk to a mortgage specialist.

You mean getting a mortgage with NO downpayment at all? I have never heard of that. Usually new comer's mortgage requires larger portion as downpayment.

Hi,

That is really difficult, though if some one has a pretty decent credit history it is easy to get 100% Mortgage on property.
Anyhow the minimum down payment required is 5% (along with CMHC insurance as an add on, which can be added to rest of the 95% Home mortgage by the bank) + PST on the CMHC insurance + Lawyer fees + Registration charges + other miscellaneous expenses, you need to pay upfront.
You may get all the details on:

Good Luck

Hi
I am looking expert advice on Real Estate. I am looking to invest on $400k pre construction condo in Kitchener and I have saving to pay 10% deposit, I would like to know if it is a good decision to do that as I came to Canada 2 years back and secondly, is my deposit secure by the government? I will have to save 10% more by next year so can I avail First Time Home Buyer incentive or its better to take Line of Credit.

i need some good advice on that. Do I expect anyother charges except 20% deposit?

pls advise
Thanks

Too many unknowns for anyone to give you advice. KW is still really an area where homes dominate the market versus condos. Would suggest a home whether it be a townhouse, semi or detached over a condo.

Have you read the post before you? There list the other charges beyond the 20% deposit. Contrary to the poster before me, townhouse can be built in a condo building.
