A second mortgage allows Ontario homeowners to access equity in their property without breaking or refinancing their existing mortgage. It is often used for debt consolidation, emergency expenses, home improvements, or short-term financial needs.
Second mortgages can be a practical solution when traditional refinancing is not available due to credit challenges, income changes, or timing. Because the first mortgage remains in place, approval is typically based more on available equity than credit score alone.
This page explains how second mortgages work in Ontario, when they make sense, and how to determine whether a second mortgage is the right option for your situation.
You can use a second mortgage to:
• Consolidate high-interest debt
• Pay off CRA or tax arrears
• Stop foreclosure or power of sale
• Fund home renovations or repairs
• Cover legal, medical or family expenses
• Improve cash flow without refinancing your first mortgageA second mortgage sits behind your first mortgage and allows you to unlock your home’s equity without disturbing your existing rate or terms.

• You are a homeowner in Ontario
• You have built equity in your property
• You need access to capital quickly
• Your credit is bruised, fair, or challenged
• Your bank declined your applicationWe specialize in cases that traditional lenders reject.
