Model a Canadian mortgage refinance the way a broker does: your lender's real prepayment penalty, break-even, consolidating credit cards and car loans, and what the freed cash flow becomes in a TFSA.
When the new mortgage would pay out the old one. Funding within 30 days of maturity avoids the penalty.
How far below the bank's posted rate your rate was when you signed. Big banks add it back when calculating the IRD.
Starts at today's best refinance rate. Refinances are uninsured, so they price a little above insured rates.
Typical: appraisal $300–500, legal $700–1,500, lender discharge fee $300–400. Lenders often cover the legal fees on a switch.
Extra equity borrowed at funding and invested, alongside any freed cash flow. Subject to the 80% limit.
Frequently asked questions
When does it make sense to refinance a mortgage in Canada?
Refinancing can make sense to access home equity, consolidate higher-interest debt, or secure better terms — but you have to weigh the benefit against any penalty to break your current mortgage mid-term. Educational information, not advice.
How much can I borrow when I refinance in Canada?
Generally up to 80% of your home's appraised value. Refinances cannot be insured, so they are always uninsured lending. Educational information, not advice.
