Mortgage insurance is designed to protect the lender if you default on your loan. It’s typically required when you make a down payment of less than 20% of the home's purchase price. This insurance, often provided by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Genworth Financial, or Canada Guaranty, helps borrowers qualify for a mortgage with a smaller down payment by reducing the lender’s risk.
