FAQ
- What documents do I need to take a home loan in Jamnagar while living in Canada?
- Income proof typically includes: T4 slips — last 2 years; CRA Notice of Assessment — last 2 years; Pay stubs — last 3 months; Canadian bank statement — last 6 months. Identity proof: Valid Indian passport; Canadian PR / Citizenship / OCI; Social Insurance Number (SIN) letter or equivalent; PAN. Plus a notarised + apostilled (or consulate-attested) PoA giving a trusted family member in India authority to sign on your behalf.
- Do I need to travel to India to close the loan?
- Usually no. With a properly authenticated Power of Attorney (Notarised in Canada at a Notary Public, then authenticated at Global Affairs Canada, Ottawa.), your PoA holder in India can sign the sale deed, loan agreement, and mortgage on your behalf. Most files close without the NRI buyer being physically present.
- Which Indian banks are best for NRIs in Canada?
- HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda — these banks all maintain NRI desks with Canada-specific relationship managers. Rate differences are typically 10–30 bps; service responsiveness varies more than pricing.
- Can I repatriate my home-loan EMI savings later?
- CAD → INR remittances via SWIFT or NRE transfer. Canadian banks do not issue apostilles — always plan 4–6 weeks for the authentication chain.
- Will the bank accept my Canada income if I'm on a work visa (not PR)?
- Yes, if the visa is current and the employment is stable. Banks typically want: at least 1 year of current employment + 2 years of tax returns (or equivalent) + a valid visa that does not expire within the loan sanction window. On a visa expiring in under 12 months, expect additional scrutiny.
