Mortgage default insurance, commonly referred to as CMHC insurance, protects the lender in the case the borrower defaults on the mortgage. Mortgage default insurance is required on all mortgages with down payments of less than 20%, which are known as high ratio mortgages.

The mortgage type includes the term of the mortgage, between 1-10 years, and the rate type, variable or fixed. The mortgage term is the length of time you commit to the terms, conditions and mortgage rate with a specific lender. The mortgage rate type can be fixed for the duration of the term or variable, fluctuating with the prime rate. Fixed rates are most popular in Canada and represent 66% of all mortgages, according to the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals (CAAMP).
