Latest News Maggie Yam 15 Oct

The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) has announced that borrowers with uninsured mortgages will no longer need to undergo a stress test when straightforward switching providers, based on the borrower’s existing amortization schedule and loan amount.
This update will be formally communicated in the upcoming quarterly report on November 21, as the regulator works with financial institutions to ensure they are prepared for the transition.
