Qualified at the federal stress rate (the greater of the 4.50% contract rate + 2% and the 5.25% floor) with the payment shown at the contract rate, semi-annual compounding, 30-year amortization, property tax at 0.81% and home insurance at 0.18% of value annually. A one-time CMHC premium (tiered by down payment) applies with less than 20% down and is added to the mortgage. The tiered minimum down payment is enforced.
