CMHC is abbreviated for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, which is a crown corporation that insures lenders against default on mortgages. If you have less than 20% as a down payment, all lenders in Canada require this type of insurance, either through CMHC or Genworth Financial, a private corporation. The insurance premium is added to the mortgage amount you finance, and does not need to be paid up front. For more information, please visit www.cmhc.ca.
