Canadian mortgages use semi-annual compounding, not monthly compounding like US mortgages. This means the effective monthly rate is calculated as: (1 + annual_rate/2)^(1/6) − 1.
The Accelerated Bi-Weekly option sets the payment to exactly half your monthly payment. You make 26 payments per year instead of 24, which is equivalent to one extra monthly payment, reducing your amortization by several years.
If your down payment is under 20%, CMHC mortgage default insurance is automatically calculated and added to the mortgage principal. The premium rate depends on your down payment percentage: 4.00% (under 10%), 3.10% (10–14.99%), or 2.80% (15–19.99%).
