Innovative mortgage solutions

We help people when they need us the most.

Genworth is there to help meet Canadians' needs through the different stages of their lives. We offer a competitive choice of flexible mortgage default insurance products for the purchase, renovation or refinancing of homes across Canada.

Genworth introduced mortgage default insurance portability to Canadians. Most lenders have a portability feature, which allows home buyers to transfer their original mortgage to a new property, preserving a low interest rate. If they decide to transfer their mortgage to a new home, and Genworth insures it, they may be able to port the mortgage default insurance as well, allowing them to save on future insurance premiums.

In addition to our standard high ratio product offerings, we also offer unique mortgage default insurance products that benefit Canadians, including:

A Business For Self (Alt. A) program. This program opens up high ratio mortgage opportunities for self-employed borrowers who cannot provide traditional income verification.
A Cashback Equity program. We can help home buyers with good credit purchase a home without using a traditional down payment.
A Family Plan program. We developed this program for homeowners who want to help buy a home for elderly parents or entrepreneurial/student children with good credit but insufficient income to meet standard requirements.
A New to Canada program. We can provide mortgage default insurance for qualified home buyers who have immigrated to Canada or have been transferred here by an employer - with as little as 5% down payment.
A Purchase Plus Improvement program. This program makes it possible for home buyers to make improvements to homes immediately after taking possession.
A Vacation/Second Home Mortgage program. We can help borrowers obtain financing on the purchase of a vacation or recreation home with as little as 5% down payment for qualified home buyers.
