Rates shown are current as of September 21, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. MT and are subject to change without notice. Rates are available on approved credit (O.A.C.) only, are subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable lender, and may vary based on your credit history, income, down payment or equity, loan-to-value, property type and location, occupancy, amortization, and whether the mortgage is insured, insurable or uninsured.

Annual percentage rates (APR) shown assume a mortgage amount of $500,000, an amortization of 25 years with monthly payments, and include no lender or brokerage fees. Fixed rates are compounded semi-annually, not in advance, as required under section 6 of the federal Interest Act; variable rates are compounded monthly. Payment figures exclude property taxes, heating, condominium fees and default insurance premiums unless stated. Insured rates require mortgage default insurance and are available only on qualifying transactions.

Rates may contain errors or omissions and do not constitute an offer of credit, a rate hold or a pre-approval. Not all applicants will qualify.

At 4.24%, you’d be qualified at 6.24%

Lenders don’t approve you at the rate you pay. Under OSFI Guideline B-20, they approve you at the minimum qualifying rate: the greater of your contract rate plus 2 percentage points, or 5.25%. It’s the most common reason a pre-approval comes back lower than a buyer expected.

Run the stress test

When a 2-year term makes sense

Short terms are for files with a known event coming up. A self-employed borrower whose second full year of filed income lands next spring. A newcomer to Canada building a Canadian credit file. A homeowner who plans to sell in 30 months and doesn't want to pay an interest-rate differential to do it.

In each case, the next renewal gets underwritten against a stronger file. Paying a slightly higher rate for 2 years to reach a much better rate afterwards is a calculation, and we'll run it with you before you commit.

The cost of renewing more often

Every renewal is a decision and a bit of work: new documents if you switch, a new appraisal in some cases, and the risk of renewing into a worse market. Shorter terms mean more of those moments.

They also mean more chances to improve your terms. If your file is getting stronger, renewing more often works in your favour.

Your rate

Why your rate may differ from the one above

The rates on this page are for a clean, standard file. These 5 things change the rate you're offered, and we'll tell you where your file stands before you apply.

  • Your down payment

    Under 20% down means an insured mortgage. Insured mortgages usually get lower rates because the lender's loss is covered, so putting more money down can mean a higher rate.

  • Insured, insurable or uninsured

    Each one is a separate price tier. A refinance can never be insured, so it's always priced in the top tier, no matter how much equity you have.

  • Your amortization

    Going past 25 years moves an insured file into a higher premium band and pushes some files out of the insured tier altogether. A 30-year amortization is available to first-time buyers and on new builds.

  • The property and how you use it

    The benchmark is an owner-occupied detached home in Edmonton. A rental, a second home, an acreage over about 10 acres, a rural water supply or a small condo unit each narrow the list of lenders and usually add to the rate.

  • Your credit and income profile

    Your Beacon score, how long you've had credit, and whether your income is salaried, commission, self-employed or rotational decide which lenders will look at your file. That's what sets the price.

Rate holds

What a rate hold is

A rate hold is a lender's commitment to honour today's rate for a set period (up to 120 days) while you shop, wait for a closing, or count down to your renewal.

It's free

There's no fee and no commitment to that lender. A single credit check through a brokerage won't damage your credit file.

It works one way

If rates fall before you close, you take the lower rate. If they rise, you keep the rate you held.

It isn't an approval

A hold reserves pricing. It doesn't confirm your income, down payment or the property. The pre-approval and then the full application do that.

Questions about these rates

Why is the 2-year rate higher than the 5-year?
Because the yield curve isn't flat, and because lenders charge for having to win your business back sooner. A shorter term gives you options, and options have a price. This page shows you today's difference, so you can see what that price is.
Is a 1-year or 2-year term better while rates are falling?
Only if rates do fall, and only by enough to cover the higher rate you pay in the meantime. Run both: compare the short-term rate against today's 5-year, then work out how far rates would have to drop by your renewal date to break even. That number is usually bigger than people expect.
