Mortgage refinancing can help Canadian homeowners restructure existing financing, access available home equity, consolidate higher-interest debt, or adjust payments and mortgage terms as their needs change.
Mortgage options depend on factors such as the property, available equity, income, credit, existing financing and your overall objective. The right structure is specific to the borrower and the transaction.

Mortgage refinancing replaces or restructures existing mortgage financing with a new arrangement. Canadian homeowners may explore refinancing to access available home equity, consolidate higher-interest debt, change payment or term features, or reorganize financing after their circumstances change. The potential benefit should be weighed against qualification requirements and the costs of changing the existing mortgage.
Common reasons include accessing home equity, consolidating higher-interest debts, changing payment or mortgage terms, funding a major expense, or restructuring financing when financial circumstances change.
Refinancing may allow eligible homeowners to borrow against available equity in the property. The amount available depends on the property value, existing secured financing, lender requirements and the borrower’s qualification.
It may be possible to use available home equity to consolidate other debts into mortgage-secured financing. The interest rate may be lower than some unsecured debts, but the total cost, repayment period, fees and risks should be compared before proceeding.
Yes, costs can apply. Depending on the existing mortgage and new financing, these may include a prepayment penalty, discharge or registration charges, appraisal costs, legal costs and lender or other transaction fees.
Generally, refinancing involves a new lending decision. The lender may review income, credit, debts, property value and other qualification requirements before approving the new financing.
No. A renewal continues mortgage financing into a new term, while refinancing changes the amount or structure of the financing. The right approach depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
