• Unlike in the U.S., underwriting standards for qualifying mortgage borrowers in Canada have been maintained at prudent levels resulting in mortgage borrowers here being much more creditworthy; • Canadian mortgage lenders never offered low initial «teaser» rate mortgages that led to most of the difficulties for mortgage borrowers in the U.S.; • Most mortgages in Canada are held
by their original lender, not packaged and sold to third parties as is typical in the U.S., and consequently, Canadian mortgage lenders have a vested interest in ensuring that their mortgage borrowers are creditworthy and not likely to default; • Only 0.3 % of Canadian mortgages are in arrears versus 4.5 % in the U.S. and what even before the
start of the U.S. housing meltdown two years ago was 2 %; • Canadians tend to
pay down their mortgage faster than in the U.S. where mortgage interest is deductible from taxes, which encourages U.S. homeowners to take equity out of their homes to finance other spending, a difference that is reflected in the fact that in Canada mortgage
debt accounts for just over 30 % of the value of homes, compared with 55 % in the U.S.

by avoiding most high turnover actively managed mutual funds and opting for tax - deferred savings whenever possible (not only do their investments grow tax - sheltered but for most people their MTR at retirement would be lower than it is during their working years) 4) Balance your portfolio at least annually (some individuals may choose to do so semi-annually) 5) Hammer away at your
debt first — for example, when it comes to contributing to an RRSP or TFSA vs.
