What does ‘The NEW Canadian Mortgage Charter’ mean? Under the charter, banks are expected to:

1. Allow temporary extensions on the amortization period for mortgage holders.
2. Waive fees and costs that would have otherwise been charged for mortgage relief measures.
3. Exempt insured mortgage holders from re-qualifying under the stress test when switching lenders at the time of mortgage renewal.
4. Require banks to reach out to homeowners four to six months in advance of their mortgage renewal to inform them of affordability options.
5. Allow borrowers to make lump sum payments to avoid negative amortization or sell their principal residence without incurring prepayment penalties.
6. Waive interest on interest when mortgage relief measures result in mortgage payments that fail to cover interest payments on a loan.
