Buyers only need 20% downpayment for Conventional Mortgage Home Financing- Amendment to the Bank Act!

The Bank Act was recently amended to allow banks to move from 75% to 80% maximum loan to value without requiring mortgage default insurance.
20% down now qualifies as Conventional Financing.............No CMHC or GE premiums
This good news for buyers!
