    Letter of Employment for Apartment Rent

    You may also be required to produce a credit report also here in Toronto to prove your credit history. It is difficult to remove a tenant here in Toronto so you need to prove that you can pay the rent. Landlords do not want to take a risk. Another tenant will be along shortly that does have a...

    Can I get a morgage w/ no job?

    Congratulations you are on the path of your dreams. ;D I did the same 17 years ago (cannot believe that it has been that long) and never looked back. It was hard at first but you will soon find your place.

    Can I get a morgage w/ no job?

    When dealing with one bank they have a few products that they have to offer and they will vary by rate, term and the privileges that the mortgage offers. When you deal with a broker, they are looking across many financial institutions offerings and trying to find the best fit for what it is...

    Can I get a morgage w/ no job?

    This post is really inaccurate and misleading. I am not sure of mrbeachman’s motivations. Banks have ‘New to Canada’ mortgage products. It is a contradiction to demand historical data of finance, Canadian tax and employment in Canada for a “newcomer to Canada” product don’t you think?. All...
