Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make, and it all starts with one crucial step: mortgage pre-approval. Getting pre-approved gives you clarity on your budget, strengthens your offers with sellers, and helps you move quickly when the right home hits the market.
If you’re considering buying in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) or surrounding communities, this guide will walk you through the pre-approval process step by step — and explain why it’s such an essential part of your home-buying journey.

A mortgage pre-approval is more than just a quick estimate. During this process, a lender or broker reviews your financial profile — including income, credit score, debts, and assets — and determines the maximum mortgage amount you qualify for.
At the end, you’ll receive a pre-approval letter, which acts as proof of your financial readiness. Sellers and real estate agents take this letter seriously, making you a stronger, more credible buyer.

Be prepared with pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and proof of assets. Having everything ready upfront speeds up the process.
Tip: Use our mortgage calculators to estimate affordability before you start.
Your credit score influences both eligibility and your interest rate. Review your report early and resolve any issues before applying.
Working with an experienced mortgage broker saves you time and money. Instead of shopping around on your own, we’ll compare multiple lenders to find you the best rates and products. Learn more about our full mortgage services.
Provide details about your income, debts, and assets. Your broker may request additional information depending on your situation.
Once approved, you’ll get a letter outlining the amount you qualify for. This document shows sellers you’re financially ready to buy.
Mortgage pre-approval sets the stage for a smoother, faster, and more confident home-buying journey. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to upgrade, this step puts you in the driver’s seat.
