In 2025, more than 34% of mortgage applicants in Ontario are getting declined by major lenders due to:
✔ bruised credit
✔ self-employment
✔ high debt ratios
✔ CRA arrears
✔ consumer proposals
✔ irregular income
✔ short job history
But here’s the biggest secret:
A bank denial is NOT the end. It just means you need a lender who looks at REAL LIFE — not just credit scores.
That’s where Lendworth steps in.
🔥 Step 1 — Don’t Reapply Everywhere (It Hurts Your Score)
Every time you apply at another bank or broker, your credit gets another hit.
Multiple pulls in a short period signal:
⚠ “Credit seeking”
⚠ “Financial stress”
Instead, pause. You need a lender who can approve you based on equity, not just numbers on paper.
🔥 Step 2 — Know Why The Bank Said No
These are the most common reasons banks quietly deny:
“Your T4 income isn't stable enough”
“Your debt-to-income ratio is too high”
“You haven't been at your job long enough”
“Your credit score is below 680”
“You’re self-employed”
“Your CRA taxes aren’t paid”
“Property doesn’t meet bank guidelines”
“You’re in a proposal or past bankruptcy”
Banks don’t tell the full truth.
Private lenders do — and they offer solutions.
🔥 Step 3 — Use Your Home Equity (Your Credit Doesn’t Matter)
Most homeowners don’t realize they have a powerful tool:
Your equity.
And equity lending is based on:
🏠 property value
📍 location
📉 amount of current mortgage
📊 loan-to-value (LTV)
NOT credit score.
This is why Lendworth approves files that banks decline:
Bad credit → approved
Self-employed → approved
CRA debt → approved
Consumer proposal → approved
High debt ratios → approved
Bank said no → approved
If the equity is there, we can help.
🔥 Step 4 — Move Fast Before Penalties Stack Up
If you were denied for a:
✔ refinance
✔ renewal
✔ CRA payout
✔ debt consolidation
✔ divorce buyout
✔ purchase closing
Time matters.
Bank delays can cause:
⛔ NSF fees
⛔ late mortgage payments
⛔ higher interest penalties
⛔ power of sale risks
⛔ closing failure on a new purchase
Lendworth can approve most files in 24–48 hours, preventing the damage before it starts.
🔥 Step 5 — Get a Private Mortgage Exit Plan
A private mortgage isn’t meant to be forever.
It’s a bridge:
⏩ Clean up credit
⏩ Pay off debts
⏩ Stabilize income
⏩ Requalify at a bank again
Lendworth builds each borrower a 12–24 month exit strategy so you can get back to low bank rates.
