spreading that debt over a 25-year amortization means small monthly payments but more interest if you only pay the minimum. The move that makes this a real win:
You have 20%+ equity available in your home
You're committed to not re-running the cards up
Your home now secures debt that used to be unsecured
Paying only the minimum can cost more interest over time
Breaking your current mortgage may trigger a penalty

Frequently asked questions
What is a debt consolidation mortgage in Canada?
It rolls higher-interest debts — credit cards, lines of credit, car loans — into your mortgage or a home equity line of credit, usually through a refinance, so you carry one payment at a much lower mortgage rate. Educational information, not advice.
How much debt can I consolidate into my mortgage?
You can generally access up to 80% of your home's appraised value through a refinance, and the equity above your current mortgage can be used to pay off other debts. Educational information, not advice.
Is consolidating debt into my mortgage a good idea?
It can dramatically cut your interest cost and simplify payments, but it secures former unsecured debt against your home and can stretch repayment over a longer term. Whether it's worth it depends on the numbers and your plan — RateStreet can model it with you. Educational information, not advice.
