How to Apply

This will help you determine how much you can afford, for both the home and the renovations. For example, if you have a budget of $250,000, you can choose a house that costs $185,000, which will then make your renovation budget $65,000.

You can also connect with a member of our team at your branch or by calling our Customer Contact Centre at 902-492-6500.
