CTBC Bank
Broker-only alternative bank (BC/ON) that will use bank statements or a foreign credit report when there is no Canadian score, and adds back rental income to qualify. It lends British Columbia, Ontario.
Prepayment-penalty method
Fair, contract-rate penalty
If you break a fixed term early, the penalty is calculated the borrower-friendly way, using your actual contract rate. This is usually far cheaper than a big bank's posted-rate method, and it is one of the biggest hidden costs most people never compare.
