Key Takeaways
  • B-lenders approve mortgages for credit scores around 500+ with roughly 20% down.
  • They're built for self-employed, post-bankruptcy, consumer proposal, new-to-Canada, and high-debt-ratio borrowers.
  • Rates are higher than a bank, plus a ~1% lender fee, on shorter 1–3 year terms.
  • A B-lender is a stepping stone — our Reboot plan moves you back to a prime lender at renewal.

A bruised credit file
isn't the end of the story.

Big banks (A-lenders) demand strong credit and two years of T4 income. B-lenders and private lenders look at the whole picture — your equity, your down payment, and your story — and approve borrowers the banks reject.

Common questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners in Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.

Can I get a mortgage with bad credit in Canada?
+
Yes. Bad credit doesn’t disqualify you — it just means banks aren’t the right fit. CreditReboot works with B-lenders and private lenders who approve mortgages based on your income, down payment, and overall situation, helping Canadians buy or keep their homes despite low credit scores.
What credit score is considered bad for a mortgage in Canada?
+
Most banks want a score around 680 or higher, so scores below roughly 600 are generally considered “bad” for prime lending. But B-lenders and private lenders regularly approve borrowers well below that threshold. A low score narrows your bank options — it doesn’t end your mortgage options.
Can I qualify for a mortgage after missed payments?
+
Yes. Late or missed payments hurt your score, but alternative and private lenders look at the full picture — your equity, income, and recent history — rather than a single number. Many homeowners with past missed payments still get approved and use the mortgage as a stepping stone back to good credit.
Can I get a mortgage after a consumer proposal?
+
Yes. Many borrowers qualify for a mortgage while still in a consumer proposal through private lenders, and for B-lender or bank financing once the proposal is paid out or discharged. The further along you are and the more equity or down payment you have, the better your options.
Can I get a mortgage after bankruptcy?
+
Yes. Once you’re discharged from bankruptcy, you can often qualify through B-lenders — and sometimes through private lenders even sooner. Lenders look for a discharge, re-established credit, and a reasonable down payment, and we’ll help you map the fastest realistic path.
Do Canadian lenders approve homeowners with collections?
+
Yes. Outstanding collections will stop most banks, but B-lenders and private lenders can still approve you, sometimes as part of a plan to pay those collections off through the mortgage. Your equity and income carry more weight than the collections themselves.
Can I get a mortgage in Canada if my income is low?
+
Often, yes. Alternative lenders offer flexible programs for lower or non-traditional income, and a larger down payment or strong equity position can offset a modest income. We’ll match you with lenders whose guidelines fit your real financial picture.
Can self-employed borrowers get a bad-credit mortgage?
+
Yes. Self-employed Canadians who can’t show full “provable” income are a natural fit for B-lenders and private lenders that use bank statements, contracts, or equity to qualify you. Being self-employed with bruised credit is one of the most common situations we solve.
How much down payment or equity do I need for a bad-credit mortgage?
+
For a purchase, expect to put down more than the 5% minimum — often 10–20% — with weaker credit. For refinancing, most lenders want you to keep at least 20% equity. A bigger down payment or equity cushion widens your options and improves your rate.
Can I move back to a bank mortgage later if my credit improves?
+
Yes — that’s exactly the goal for most of our clients. A B-lender or private mortgage is usually a short-term bridge; once you’ve rebuilt your credit over a year or two, we help you refinance into a lower-cost bank mortgage. We build the exit plan with you from day one.
