Filling out an online mortgage application

If you experience issues while filling out the online mortgage application, please contact support at support@groupcapital.ca or call at 877-665-8421.

If you’re looking for pre-approval, our online mortgage platform will allow you to complete the entire process virtually, meaning you can get pre-approved quickly without sitting on hold on the phone.

The online form allows us to collect all the relevant information on your specific situation. This way we can confirm the exact rates available to you. Our application is designed to save you time and get quoted the rate that applies to your situation.

When the application is submitted for a new mortgage, refinance or a renewal, a soft pull (credit check) may be completed and it has no impact on your credit score. For all transactions with the exception of the online pre-approval, a hard pull (credit check) is only done when you speak with an advisor and decide to proceed with Group Capital. When you complete an online mortgage application for a pre approval, as stated in the application, we will need to do a hard pull credit check in order to qualify you amongst our lenders.
