The Problem: You’ve found your dream home in Ottawa, but traditional banks keep turning you down because your income comes from overseas. Despite having stable employment and good savings, you’re told “we don’t accept foreign income” – leaving you frustrated and stuck.

The Agitation: Every rejection feels like a door closing on your Canadian dream.

Meanwhile, housing prices keep climbing, and you’re losing valuable time and money on rent.
