Canada’s largest private mortgage insurer says it is matching CMHC’s increase in premiums for the highest risk loans. Genworth will increase its premiums by 15 per cent on June 1, 2015; that’s the same percentage and date as the federal agency. The new rate for a loan-to-value ratio up to 95 per cent is 3.6 per cent, up from 3.15. For a loan-to-value ratio from 90.01 to 95 per cent, but a non-traditional down payment, the new rate is rising from 3.35 per cent to 3.85 per cent.
