Start the comparison, or ask a question first.
A reverse mortgage lets you access your home equity without selling your home. You maintain full ownership and title. The home must be your primary residence, at least 6 months per year.
Unlike a traditional mortgage, you are not required to make any regular payments. Interest is added to the loan balance over time. Repayment is generally due when you sell, move out, or the last borrower passes away, or if you stop meeting the loan's conditions, such as paying property tax and insurance.
The funds you receive are not considered taxable income and will not affect your OAS or GIS benefits, according to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.
Canadian reverse mortgages include no-negative-equity protection. As long as you meet the loan's conditions, you or your estate will never owe more than the fair market value of the home.
You can usually borrow up to 55% of your home's appraised value, depending on your age, the home, and the lender. Income and credit are not the primary factors.
We're a fully licensed brokerage regulated by FSRA (#13763). All costs are disclosed upfront and we recommend independent legal advice before you commit.
Receive your funds as a lump sum, regular monthly payments, or a split of both. You choose the format that fits your retirement income needs.
Income and Credit Are Not the Main Factors / Your age, your home's value, and the equity you hold matter most. Some lenders do check credit or income to confirm you can keep up with property tax and insurance.
You choose how to use your reverse mortgage proceeds. Pay off debt, renovate, supplement cash flow, or help family.

Some lenders do check credit and income, not to qualify you for the loan amount, but to confirm you can keep up with property tax, insurance and other ongoing costs. Only a small number of federally regulated lenders in Canada offer the product. These are the things that genuinely move your number.
Older applicants can generally access a larger share of their home's value.
Location affects both the amount available and which lender is willing to offer on the property.
Adjustable compounds monthly and moves with the lender's prime rate. Which one fits depends on how long you expect to stay in the home and whether you want certainty or flexibility.
Condos, rural and unusual properties are still eligible with most lenders, but pricing and maximums can vary.
Any current mortgage has to be paid off from the proceeds. This determines what's actually left available, separate from the rate itself.
Property tax, home insurance and condo fees, if applicable, still have to be paid, a reverse mortgage doesn't cover them. Some lenders check credit or income specifically to confirm this, separate from qualifying for the loan amount itself.
