They did take my UK no claims into account, although only upto 5 years.

That is in Calgary though, not sure how it is in NS.

I see you dont plan to buy for another 10 months, just so you know, we bought with a 3% downpayment after only being here for 4 months, so let me know if you need a creative mortgage broker, not all can be bothered with situations that require thinking outside the box!

Welcome!!!!

We paid just over 1000 dollars, but if we keep our noses clean so to speak, they'll give us full no claims next yr.
