About Kanata
Ottawa's Technology Corridor
Kanata is home to Kanata North Business Park, one of the largest technology parks in North America, with over 500 companies including Ericsson, Nokia, Mitel, Ciena, and the sprawling DND Carling Campus. This concentration of high-income employment defines the neighbourhood's real estate market in a way unlike any other Ottawa community.
The result is a suburb with a distinctly professional demographic: dual-income tech households, engineers and project managers on strong salaries, and a younger-than-average population putting down roots in communities like Arcadia and Fernbank, while established tech executives occupy the larger homes in Morgan's Grant and Bridlewood.
Highway 417 access makes Kanata a genuine western Ottawa hub. Proximity to the Stittsville border adds newer inventory to the mix, and ongoing development in the Fernbank Urban Community continues to expand the area's housing stock.

The Kanata Angle
Tech Compensation Is Complex. Your Mortgage Doesn't Have to Be.
Kanata's tech sector pays well, but in ways that standard mortgage underwriting doesn't always understand. Jessy navigates every income type.
Base Salary (T4)
Straightforward. Even at aggressive Ottawa tech salaries, lenders treat T4 income simply and consistently.
Annual Bonus
Lenders typically average two years of bonus history. Jessy knows which lenders treat recurring bonus income most generously.
RSUs (Restricted Stock Units)
Vested RSUs sold for cash can be counted as income by certain lenders. The key is proper documentation and lender selection.
Stock Options
Complex, but workable. Some lenders accept realized option gains if there is a 2-year history. Jessy structures these files carefully.
Contractor / Corp Income
Many Kanata tech workers operate through a corporation. Jessy specializes in business-for-self qualification. See our self-employed mortgage page.
