Most Canadian lenders (A-banks, several credit unions, some alternative lenders) offer newcomer programs tailored to permanent residents, temporary foreign workers and international students. Criteria vary — international credit history, minimum time in Canada, visa type. An AMF-licensed broker knows each lender’s policy and compares Terrebonne brokers who have closed similar files.
