CMHC Announces New Help For Self Employed Home Buyers

CMHC Announces New Help For Self Employed Home Buyers

For many self employed home buyers the process to buy a home is daunting.

Now though, it seems like help is on the way for self employed professionals.

CMHC is ready to offer more guidance and flexibility to help self-employed homeowners.

As part of the National Housing Strategy, CMHC’s plan aims to support those whose income can be a moving target.

The changes are as follows:

  • Providing examples of factors that can be used to support the lender’s decision to lend to self-employed borrowers such as:
    • Acquiring an established business
    • Sufficient cash reserves
    • Predictable earnings
    • Previous training and education
  • Make it easier to meet income and employment requirements. Such As:
    • Notice of Assessment (NOA) accompanied by the T1 General
    • CRA Proof of Income Statement and the Statement of Business or Professional Activities (T2125)

The changes come into effect from October 1, 2018.
