Two things: is the income declared, and does it repeat? One lender wants two years of history, another works from a twelve-month average, so the same file gets different answers. Undeclared income? Zero, no matter how much.
Documents to have ready
Two years of notices of assessment: still the one proof no lender argues with. Add your commission or employment statements for the period. If your income follows the seasons, include something that covers a full year, not just your best months.
Income documents
Two years of notices of assessment, recent pay stubs and an employment letter. The lender trusts what your tax records show, not what lands in your account. Income that shows up nowhere doesn’t exist for a purchase in Thetford Mines.
Income period reviewed in Thetford Mines
Depending on where the income comes from, the file in Thetford Mines may need the current year, a two-year average, or just confirmation of employment.
Supporting records
Notices of assessment, tax returns, financial statements, pay stubs, deposit records. Have it all ready before you make an offer. That’s what lets you work with a short financing condition, since the delay nearly always comes from a third party who hasn’t sent their paper yet.
Lenders that can assess the file
Tips only count when they’re declared. A lender works from your notices of assessment, not from what you take home, and alternative lenders aren’t any more flexible about it.

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.
How does a lender calculate income that changes month to month?+
They take an average, over one or two years depending on the lender, based on what’s declared. A good month doesn’t count for more than a bad one. And income missing from your notices of assessment doesn’t count at all.
Buying, renewing, refinancing, or something a bit out of the ordinary: tell us where you’re at, even if it’s still fuzzy. Mathieu gets back to you with next steps and the documents to pull together.
