Every insured or bank mortgage is stress-tested: you qualify at the higher of your contract rate plus two points or the benchmark. A, B and private tiers differ in who they assess and what they charge - the tier you land in matters more than the lender within it.
Ontario applies a provincial land transfer tax, and Toronto applies a second municipal land transfer tax on top. That doubling is the single largest provincial cost difference in Canadian home buying. First-time buyer rebates exist at both levels.

Every lender listed here also appears on our mortgage lenders in Canada page, which explains the difference between bank, B-lender and private mortgages, what each tier checks and what a mortgage costs over its term. This page lists the same lenders for borrowers in Ontario.
It is tiered: 0.5% on the first $55,000, then 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% through $2 million, and 2.5% above that. First-time buyers get up to $4,000 back. Buying inside the City of Toronto means a second municipal tax at matching rates, so Toronto buyers pay roughly double, with a further rebate up to $4,475 for first-time buyers.
