Buying your first home in Canada1

One of the biggest financial decisions you will make when putting roots down in your new country is the purchase of a first home.

TD can help you finance your first home in Canada, even if you have no credit history.

A TD Mortgage Specialist will work with you to determine if you’re eligible for a TD mortgage, and will help guide you through the mortgage process, while flexible mortgage features such as payment frequency and lump sum payments allow you to adapt your payments to fit your needs.


Find out if you’re eligible for a TD mortgage

Even if you have no credit history, you may qualify for a TD mortgage or TD Home Equity FlexLine if:

  • You are a permanent resident or have applied to become a permanent resident in Canada
  • You have been in Canada for 5 years or less

1 You may be eligible for a TD mortgage, even if you have no Canadian credit history, provided you meet all of the other eligibility and credit criteria of TD Canada Trust. Lack of Canadian credit history is only available to customers who have been permanent residents in Canada less than 5 years.
