    Can you get fixed rate mortgages there? I’m here in the United States and when I bought a house a couple of years ago, I specifically demanded to get a fixed rate mortgage, even though I knew it would cost slightly more in percentage terms. I knew that I wouldn’t be subject to the whims of the jacking around of the central banks and rates.

      Yes but Canadian mortgages have renewals on a schedule. 1,2,3,4,5,7,and 10 years are typical. Rates are fixed for that time period, then reset to market rate.
