Renewing in Laval with a new lender, the new one starts from zero: current proof of income, mortgage statement, tax bill. Have them four months before maturity.
Renewal is the one time you can switch lenders without paying a penalty. Your current bank can renew without requalifying you. Another lender reassesses everything. That’s the trade-off. A rate advertised elsewhere is only worth something if you can actually qualify for it.
Documents before comparison
Your renewal offer and current mortgage statement, showing the maturity date and balance. If you’re shopping around, add your notices of assessment and proof of income, since the new lender starts from zero. Start four to six months before maturity, while the current offer still stands.
Required document
The document has to be current, legible and consistent with the rest of the file. A statement missing a page, or a name spelled differently than on your notice of assessment, and the Laval file goes back for clarification.
What gets verified
Names, dates, balances, where the money came from: all of it has to match from one document to the next. An unexplained deposit is the most common reason a file in Laval stalls at verification.
Differences to explain
An unusual amount, a missing page or two records that disagree will draw questions, so explain them up front. A gift, a bonus or a transfer between your own accounts is fine once it’s documented, in Laval like everywhere else.
Delivery deadline in Laval
The lender’s calendar, the insurer’s and the notary’s all have to line up. It’s nearly always the last link that delivers a confirmation after the condition has already expired.

Frequently asked
Can the file be reviewed remotely?+
Yes. Phone, email or video call, with documents sent online. We can meet in person if you’d rather, but most files get done without anyone driving anywhere.
Does switching lenders at renewal cost anything?+
No penalty at maturity. It’s the only time that’s true. The new lender reviews the whole file again, and some transfer fees may apply. You weigh that against the rate difference.
