Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - Mortgage rules have changed

Mortgage rules have changed.

These rules take effect as of April 10, 2010. So if you're on the fence about buying a new home or refinancing...DO IT NOW!!

See the Video on CTV news here...

Here is the Government of Canada's official release as well...click here
