A smarter way to get approved, even if your credit is not where you want it to be
If your credit score has taken a hit, you are not alone, and it does not automatically mean homeownership (or refinancing) is off the table in Chilliwack, Langley, or anywhere across the Fraser Valley. We help you understand what lenders in Canada actually look at, your income, your down payment or equity, your debts, and the story behind the credit report, then we match you with the right mortgage path.
Depending on your situation, that path might include an alternative (B) lender, a credit union, a monoline lender, or in some cases a short-term private solution that buys you time to rebuild your credit. Our goal is simple, get you approved with a payment you can live with today, while creating a realistic plan to improve your credit so you can move toward better rates at renewal.

FAQs for Mortgages for those with Bad or Poor Credit in Chilliwack and Langley, BC
1) What credit score is considered "poor" in Canada, and can we still help you get a mortgage in Chilliwack or Langley?
In Canada, "poor" credit is often discussed as roughly the mid-500s and below, depending on the bureau and the lender, but approval is not based on one number alone. We look at the full picture, including your income, debts, and down payment or equity, then we shop the best fit across Fraser Valley-friendly lender options.
2) If you have bruised credit, do you need 20% down to buy in the Fraser Valley?
Often, alternative lending routes in Canada do lean toward larger down payments, and 20% is a common threshold, especially when the file needs flexibility. That said, we will confirm what you qualify for based on the property, the neighbourhood (from Sardis to Willoughby), and your overall application, not just the headline rule of thumb.
3) Can we use a bad credit mortgage to refinance and consolidate debt in Chilliwack or Langley?
Yes, if you have sufficient equity, refinancing can sometimes turn multiple high-interest payments into one more manageable payment, which can help you rebuild momentum. We will run the numbers carefully, including penalties and fees, so the plan actually improves your month-to-month cash flow, not just the rate on paper.
4) What documents should you bring us if youre self-employed in the Fraser Valley and your credit is not great?
We will usually ask for proof of income (like T1 Generals and Notices of Assessment), recent bank statements, and a clear list of debts, then we align it with lender guidelines that fit your story. If you run a business in Langley or Chilliwack, we will also help present your income in a lender-friendly way, so the application is clean and consistent.
5) How long should you expect to keep a bad credit mortgage before moving to a better rate?
Many borrowers treat this as a stepping-stone mortgage for a shorter term, then work on credit and debt ratios so they can qualify for sharper pricing at renewal. We will give you a simple improvement checklist, tailored to your situation, and we will check in ahead of renewal so you are not scrambling at the last minute.
