Getting a new mortgage

December 20th, 2011 by Questions

Hi. I have paid into my mortgage for almost 4 years, which is in excellent standing, and had to file a consumer proposal just over a year ago. My spouse and I are expecting our first child together and have his youngest daughter living with us. We are looking at getting a bigger home for our expanding family but my mortgage carrier says I would have to be pre-approved for a new mortgage. Is that still possible while under a consumer proposal or will that stop me from from being able to change into another home
?
