What is CMHC Mortgage Insurance?

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) mortgage insurance is required for homebuyers who make a down payment of less than 20% of the home’s purchase price. This insurance protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on their mortgage. CMHC insurance premiums can be substantial, often costing tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the mortgage. In southern Alberta, the average CMHC insurance premium ranges from $15,000 to $25,000.
