Teachers Mortgage Program

Preferred Mortgage Rates & Programs for Ontario Educators

This program is my way of saying thank you. Teachers and education workers shape our communities every single day — often through contract terms, supply work, and school-year schedules that do not fit a typical pay stub. I built this for every teacher, professor, and education support worker across Ontario, so you can get a mortgage that actually reflects the work you do.

What Is the Teachers Mortgage Program?

Teachers, professors, and education workers in Ontario have access to preferred mortgage programs that recognize the stability and reliability of their income. Whether you’re a permanent full-time teacher, an occasional teacher, or an education support worker, there are lenders offering exclusive rates and benefits for the education sector.

  • Preferred rates from lenders who value educator income
  • Recognition of contract, supply, and occasional teaching income
  • Cashback offers and reduced fees from select lenders
  • Available for purchases, renewals, refinances, and pre-approvals

Who Qualifies?

The teachers mortgage program is available to:

  • Elementary and secondary school teachers (public and Catholic boards)
  • Occasional and supply teachers with consistent work history
  • College and university professors and instructors

Even if you’re on a temporary contract or working supply, there are lenders who will recognize your income and offer you competitive terms. I’ll find the right fit for your situation.
