When the mortgage amount is larger than 75% of the purchase price or the appraised value of the home (whichever is less), it’s called a high-ratio mortgage. By law, it must be insured against default by an insurer such as G.E. Capital Mortgage Insurance Canada or Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
