Insurers, CMHC, Genworth, and Canada Guarantee already had programs in place with the banks/lenders that allowed them to defer up to 6 monthly payments. Here are some of the requirements.

1. Original insured loan amount is not exceeded
2. Request to cap payments is received prior to Sept 13, 2020
3. Bank/lender confirms the capitalization is being applied reasonably to help mitigate short-term financial difficulty resulting from COVID-19.

The programs are facilitated through the banks/lenders and therefore you should be directing your clients to contact their lender directly for further assistance. Some banks/lenders have their own assistance options as well.

Here is a list of customer service numbers of the lenders and banks that we deal with.
