Buying your first home in Canada is a sequence of about a dozen decisions, and nobody hands you the list. Pre-approval before house hunting. Fixed against variable. Deposit against down payment. What the stress test does to your budget.

Janice specializes in first-generation buyers, people who are the first in their family to buy in Canada and cannot call a parent to ask how it works here. Every step gets explained before it happens, in English or Spanish, with no pressure and no jargon.
