First Time Buyers

Every first-time buyer incentive, stacked for you

Buying your first home in Canada comes with real advantages most buyers don't fully use. From the Tax-Free First Home Savings Account to the Home Buyers' Plan and provincial rebates, we make sure you're claiming every dollar available.

First Home Savings Account (FHSA)

Contribute up to $8,000/year tax-free. Withdrawals for a qualifying purchase are also tax-free — best of both worlds.

Home Buyers' Plan (RRSP)

Withdraw up to $35,000 from your RRSP tax-free. Combine with FHSA for a combined $75,000 down payment fund.

Land Transfer Tax Rebate

Ontario first-time buyers receive up to $4,000 on provincial LTT. Toronto adds a municipal rebate of up to $4,475.

CMHC Insured Mortgage

Buy with as little as 5% down when CMHC insures your mortgage. Premium is added to your balance, not paid upfront.

Stress Test Navigation

We prep your application to qualify at contract rate + 2%, so you pass the stress test with your budget intact.

First-Time Buyer Education

We walk you through closing costs, lawyers, home inspection, title insurance — no surprises at closing.

Exploring your options beyond first-time programs? Our home purchase guide compares conventional, CMHC-insured, and high-value mortgages side by side.

“I had no idea about the FHSA until my advisor explained it. We combined it with our RRSP and ended up putting 15% down — way more than we thought we could. Incredible experience.”
