You can also covert this type of mortgage to another term without penalty.
It offers a great flexibility but may carry higher interest rates than other mortgage options.
Fixed Rate Mortgage
Typically the most common option, a Fixed Rate Mortgage rates imply fixed monthly payments that remain consistent over a period of time. Fluctuating interest rates will not impact you during your 1-5 year term.

In a variable mortgage rate, payments are influenced by the Bank of Canada prime rate and implies how much your fluctuating payment will be throughout the term of your mortgage.
