Self-employed clients in North York, from realtors on Yonge to professionals in York Mills, can qualify on assessments, corporate records, and business bank statements.
MKG Mortgages handles that file from the Weston Road office and matches it to the lender program that can use those documents.
MKG matches the documents you have filed to a program that can use them. CMHC can gross up verified income or add back deductions the program allows. Sagen and Canada Guaranty stated-income programs still keep line 15000 and the bank statements.
Illustrated commissions reported on the T1: $90,000, $140,000, and $110,000 over three years. A lender that averages two years uses $125,000. A lender that wants the lowest recent year uses $110,000. Business bank statements showing the brokerage deposits are what tie the returns to the account.
These are the kinds of self-employed mortgages files we structure in North York.
Illustrative example
The challenge. The business deposits were healthy, and the taxable income on the return was lower because of ordinary write-offs.
How MKG structured it. We built a business-for-self file with an alternative lender, added back the expenses that lender allows, and supported it with two years of notices of assessment and business bank statements.
Illustrative example
The challenge. A salary letter did not show the dividends the owner actually took from the company.
How MKG structured it. We used two years of T1 Generals, the corporate financials, and the dividend record. An A-lender program that accepts salary plus dividends was the fit.
Illustrative example
The challenge. Commission landed in uneven months, so a single pay period did not describe the year.
How MKG structured it. We averaged two years of commission income from the T1 and notices of assessment, and attached the year-to-date commission statement and deposit history.
Illustrative example
The challenge. Income arrived as many small platform deposits, with no employer letter.
How MKG structured it. We documented the work with notices of assessment and business bank statements that show the platform deposits, then placed it with an alternative lender that reads those records.
Illustrative example
The challenge. There was one full tax year, plus contracts and a strong year-to-date.
How MKG structured it. We used the filed year, the contracts, and business bank statements with an alternative lender. Where a prime file needed more history, a co-signer or a short private mortgage bridged back to prime.
Illustrative example
The challenge. Canadian credit was short, and the company was new, while the down payment was already saved.
How MKG structured it. We traced the down payment, used the business bank statements and the job or contract on file, and structured the purchase with a newcomer program and a co-signer where that strengthened it.
The program follows the documents you have filed and the statements that support them.
Willowdale and Newtonbrook condo purchases add a building review to the income review. Bayview Village and York Mills are higher-balance files, so the income figure has to be solid. Don Mills and Downsview include more owner-occupied houses where a refinance, not a purchase, is the request.

The note below is paraphrased from a public Google review. It is one client's experience, not a promise that the next file ends the same way. A rate in a client's words is not an offer from MKG. The lender still decides.
A self-employed client wrote that the file was organized around the business documents they actually had, after a bank had passed.

With the T1, the notices of assessment, and a history of deposits from the brokerage. A forecast of next year's closings is not income a lender will use.
Notices of assessment, accountant-prepared statements, and a full run of business bank statements. The lender is checking the income a different way. You still provide records.
If it has little history, most lenders will lean on your personal returns. A brand-new corporation with no filings is not a substitute for those returns.
Yes. 4250 Weston Road is in North York. Bring the returns and the statements and we will mark what is missing.
That is normal. We show you which document each one is using so you can see why the mortgage amounts differ.
