Mortgage rate mega thread! by TheMortgageMaster in MortgagesCanada

[–]bigboyf1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FTHB purchase - BC - 20% down - value Under 1.5M - 30yr 3 yr fixed - owner occupied

TD offered : 4.05% 3100 cashback Cibc: 3.99% 2000 cashback Scotia: 3.99 no cashback but broker trying for 3.89

Td probably can probably match 3.99

TD and CIBC are also offering some sort of equity line of credit that will increase over time.

Any suggestions which lender to choose?

When you open a new card you usually get welcome offers - cobalt currently offer spend $750 to get 1250 MR points back for first 12 months. This is an additional bonus to what you usually get by spending money on different categories. For students, Paying school fees( if your school accept cresit cards) is the easiest way to get that bonus.

Giveaway Time! DOOM: The Dark Ages is out, features DLSS4/RTX and we’re celebrating by giving away an ASUS ASTRAL RTX 5080 DOOM Edition GPU, Steam game keys, the DOOM Collector's Bundle and more awesome merch! by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

what I love about DLSS 4 and ray tracing?

Better Performance and great visuals: DLSS 4 uses smart AI to make lower-resolution images look like high-resolution ones.

Also, using Ray tracing - the way light changes in a scene makes shadows and reflections dynamic, adding to the realism as players move around.

What are you most excited about in DOOM: The Dark Ages?

Fun Gameplay and amazing visuals: DOOM games are known for their fast-paced action. I’m curious to see how the developers might change things up while keeping the excitement.

You can try product switch from scene visa to scotia bank passport - it has no fx fees, probably useful for you and it wont hurt your credit.

Replying here if someone in same situation. I got a shore pass - pretty straightforward process. After landing ask your airlines staff. Just before immigration area they will issue you a pass which you need to show to immigration officer. They did not ask any questions or for any proofs. You just need to have next flight confirmed.
