The Canadian National Flag: A Symbol of Pride for Canadians Translated by: Dr H S Aulakh, CTTIC/STIBC-Certified Translator
50
years ago, that is, on 15th February, 1965, the present Canadian national flag was unfurled/hoisted for the first time in the Canadian atmosphere. And a certain youth, on seeing the flag flying, expressed his sentiments as follows: “Fly, O my flag! I won’t let thee fly low. When thou fly’st, A wave will sweep over young hearts – with the story of martyrs fascinating them – boldly face the odds, not allowing cruelty to be perpetrated!!” Although 15th February is celebrated each year as the Canadian National Flag Day, this sanctified and momentous day is not declared a national holiday! However, people exhibit national pride on this day throughout Canada. We feel proud as soon as we see the maple leaf between the two red stripes on the white background. Throughout the country, people from all walks of life: army men, sportspersons, artists, executives from the public or private organizations raise the national honour to the skies during the national and international conferences by saluting the flag picturing the maple leaf. The red leaf of “The National Tree”, maple, embodies the nature’s gift to man. This is evident from the people, dedicated to the Canadian nature and atmosphere.
that the maple leaf had certainly got its historical identity already, but it had not yet received official recognition. In 1956, the historic role played by the then Prime Minister of Canada, Lester Pearson, in resolving the Suez Canal crisis was greatly eulogized, and in recognition of this, he was honoured with the Nobel Prize. But at the same time, the Egyptian government registered an objection about the Canadian Peace-Keeping Force, observing that this army had no national flag. It may be worthwhile to mention that during the World War II, the British parliament had used the “Red Ensign” as the flag for Canada, and the Union Jack was considered the only national flag for Canada. Whereas the contemporary prime minster was stressing to adopt the new flag at all costs, the Opposition Party leader and ex-Prime Minster, John Diefenbaker opposed it. A country is identified by its national flag. It is the flag alone that sets a country apart. Most of the national flags of 196 countries feature religious symbols. Christian symbols are featured on the flags of 64 countries. Islamic symbols are featured on the flags of 33 countries, and symbols of Hinduism and Buddhism are featured on the flags of 5 countries. The flags are said to have originated 4,000 years ago. On the flag of Canada is featured the leaf of the nature’s unique gift to Canada, the national tree, maple.
The Punjabi Patrika feels extremely proud, felicitating all Canadians on the Although the maple leaf had been fea- successful completion of half a century tured on the Coat of Arms of Ontario as of honourable life by the sanctified nawell as of Quebec in 1868, we can say tional flag of this great country.

Premier appoints Parliamentary Secretary for Independent Schools VICTORIA – Abbotsford-Mission MLA Simon Gibson will serve as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Education for Independent Schools, Premier Christy Clark announced. “Simon has been a strong representative for the people of Abbotsford-Mission, and his abilities will be put to good use in this new role,” said Premier Christy Clark. “I’m pleased to have him join-
ing our excellent team of parliamentary secretaries, advocating for independent schools throughout B.C.” Gibson’s mandate forms an important part of government’s commitment to further strengthen British Columbia’s K-12 education system, building on worldclass learning outcomes and ensuring access to quality education for students and families in every community.
Abbotsford weaves Aboriginal culture into second agreement
A
fter two years of dedicated consultation and dialogue, the Abbotsford school district signed their second Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement today. The district’s longstanding Aboriginal Advisory Committee includes representation from the Sumas First Nation, Matsqui First Nation, Stó:lō Nation, the Fraser Valley Metis Association and the Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Families Services Society. The committee is focused on holistic student development – academically, culturally and spiritually. An Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement is a commitment by school districts, local Aboriginal communities, and the Ministry of Education, to work together to support Aboriginal student success. District programs place emphasis on supporting student’s individual needs. Grade one students receive literacy kits to help them read at home and every middle and secondary school has a dedicated Aboriginal support staffer. In support of the agreement, family gatherings are held regularly at the local Aboriginal centre. Over dinner, families experience a non-threatening space to talk about their children’s academic success. They can also access health screenings, immunizations and library services – all provided by community partners. Abbotsford is the third most ethnically diverse community in Canada. The Sumas and Matsqui First Nations communities both fall within the dis-

trict’s catchment area. The district also recognizes the Stó:lō people, placing special emphasis on Halqemeylem language education. In the past five years, the six-year completion rate for Aboriginal students in Abbotsford has increased from 61% in 2009-10 to 75% in 2013-14. The provincial six-year completion rate has climbed to a record high of 62%. Quotes: Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education – “Abbotsford’s second agreement not only strengthens the positive work they’ve accomplished in the past, but emphasizes their commitment to Aboriginal language and culture for years to come.” Cindy Schafer, Abbotsford board chair – “ Abbotsford school district has achieved some encouraging results as a consequence of our first Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement. Our Aboriginal students perform considerably higher than the provincial average for school completion, and we have realized positive gains in reading achievement, sense of belonging, and cultural pride. This is no doubt the result of the work of our dedicated staff, and the strength of the partnerships we have fostered with our Aboriginal communities. We remain committed to even greater levels of achievement, and the goals within this new agreement will provide a roadmap for the continued success of Aboriginal students in our district.”

Air Canada rouge Announces a New Service from Abbotsford International Airport
A
bbotsford International Airport (YXX), one of Fraser Valley’s key economic generators, continues to expand along with the region it serves. With nearly half-a-million passengers already passing through YXX every year, the airport will see even more activity with the addition of an extra daily WestJet Encore flight to Edmonton and the return of direct seasonal service on Air Canada rouge to Toronto.
Ontario, Hamilton is a convenient departure and arrival point for tourists and visiting friends and relatives. This makes it a market ideally-suited for Air Canada rouge with its competitive cost structure,” said Benjamin Smith, President of Passenger Airlines, Air Canada. “Since it was launched a year-and-a-half ago, Air Canada rouge has proven popular with leisure travelers in the transborder and international markets. We are now selectively deploying it on a limited number of new domestic routes, such as Toronto-Abbotsford, as part of our strategy for sustainable, profitable growth and to complement our successful mainline domestic network.”
Air Canada announced it will launch this summer new, year round Air Canada rouge services between Hamilton and Calgary and seasonal service between Toronto Pearson and Abbotsford. The non-stop, daily flights will give Canadian travelers more competitively-priced options when Dave Holmberg, Abbotsford Airport flying within Canada. Authority Chair: “Air Canada rouge is a welcome addition to our airport com“Air Canada is very pleased to offer its customers additional options at munity. The new service will definitely compelling fares for travel in Canada. enhance the ease and convenience for our guests.

“Mayor Henry Braun, City of Abbotsford: “This is great news for the City. The airport is one of our main economic drivers and is a key factor in making us a regional hub for transportation and investment. This enhanced service opens up many opportunities for increased business and tourism and I am pleased to see Air Canada’s confidence in our community. I offer them a warm welcome to Abbotsford International!”
Parm Sidhu, Airport General Manager, said the relationship with WestJet remains a key asset. “It has been a partnership for 18 years and the partnership is very strong,” he said. “It’s probably one of the strongest airport-airline relationships out there.” We have a world class aviation community at YXX, “As the region grows, there’s going to be more opportunities for people to fly out of here or work for one of our amazing partners,” Sidhu said. “It’s a regional asset.”

British Columbia tops the health charts
ranks third in the world for health performance behind only Switzerland and Sweden, and is ranked the number one province in Canada, according to The Conference Board of Canada’s report card on health released today. British Columbia was also the only province in the country to receive an A score overall. “This ranking reflects the high priority government places on the health and quality of life of British Columbians,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “We have achieved this ranking while maintaining among the lowest per capita healthcare spending. This recognition is not a reason for us to slow down our work or settle for the status quo, but rather an opportunity to build on our successes.” British Columbians have a life expectancy of 82.2

years, which ranks among the longest in the world. Out of 11 report card indicators used to measure health performance, B.C. scored four A grades in life expectancy; premature mortality; selfreported health status; and mortality due to cancer.

BC Celebrates the Lunar New Year Minister Responsible for Multiculturalism Teresa Wat issued the following statement. “It gives me great pleasure to wish the Chinese community and all people of British Columbia a happy Lunar New Year in the Year of the Ram. “The Lunar New Year is an important Chinese traditional holiday, highlighting family, fresh starts and seasonal renewal. It is a time of celebration and preparation for the New Year, and an ushering of good fortune into the lives of our neighbours and friends.
“The advisory council is working with Chinese-Canadian communities and other key partners to ensure legacy projects are successfully implemented. There’s a lot of work taking place on the projects and I am looking forward to celebrating and marking their many milestones. “Recently, we invited the public to participate in a project that will lead to the registration of 10 historic places that have significance to B.C.’s Chinese community and reflect the development and history of the province.
“Due to enthusiastic response and many inquiries, on LIAC’s and Heritage BC’s recommendation, we have extended the deadline for 10 days to March 2.

She has always said we can’t spend our children’s and grandchildren’s money and leave them with our debt. “Again, with the budget announced yesterday, this is our government’s third consecutive balanced budget that respects good fiscal managements and is building towards a stronger, more diversified economy. “I am honoured and privileged to be entrusted by you to be your Minister of Multiculturalism. Multiculturalism in B.C. must serve the greater good of all British Columbians. I welcome your input and by continuing to work together, we will build a stronger B.C. “As we look forward to the Lunar New Year, I say Gung Hay Fat Choy or Gong Xi Fa Cai – wishing you and your family joy, good health, peace and prosperity.”

Sikhs Serve Shelters Across Canada for One Billiion Rising
F
or the third year in a row, the World Sikh Organization of Canada joined with Sikh communities across Canada to take part in the One Billion Rising movement by providing care packages, treats and baked goods to over 1000 women and children in shelters in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. Each package was accompanied by Valentine’s cards prepared by Sikh children and students from local Khalsa schools and gurdwaras. One Billion Rising began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than one billion women and girls. This initiative was launched by the WSO in 2013 in Vancouver and has subsequently spread across Canada. In Surrey, volunteers gathered at the Singh Sabha Gurdwara to put together packages. The volunteers were visited by Hon. Tim Uppal, Minister of State for Multiculturalism. Minister Uppal met with WSO’s Vice President for British Columbia, Jasbir Kaur Randhawa and congratulated her on the initiative. In discussions on current issues affecting the Sikh community in Canada and internationally, Minister Uppal revealed that he recently had the opportunity to meet with French President François

BC Chamber welcomes balanced B.C. budget with targeted initiatives
C
hambers of Commerce from across the province congratulate the B.C. government for tabling a third consecutive balanced budget that combines continued fiscal discipline, including a specific focus on operating debt repayment, along with a number of targeted initiatives to support economic growth.
“During this time of on-going global economic uncertainty, it is important for government to continue to live within its means while finding affordable ways to drive our medium and longterm economic prosperity by enhancing our competitiveness and productivity,” said John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce. “While not a flashy budget, government’s strong fiscal management is providing additional fiscal flexibility for future years. This flexibility is needed to help address top-tier challenges facing business – notably further skills development, tax competitiveness and other productivity issues.” Budget 2015 forecasts an $879 million
surplus for 2014/15, with a further surplus of $284 million in 2015/16. Budget 2015 includes an $800 million payment toward operating debt reduction. Budget 2015 also includes several modest initiatives that will support on-going economic development across the province, including: an extension to the BC Interactive Digital Media and the Mining FlowThrough Share tax credit measures, the expansion of the Digital Animation or Visual Effects tax credit to include post-production activities, a three-year extension of the BC Training Tax Credit, and an increase to the Small Business Venture Capital tax credit.
help grow the economy,” said Welte. “British Columbians can take pride that we are the only jurisdictions in Canada to balance our budget and are seeing the benefit as government puts part of projected surpluses towards paying off our operating debt.” The BC Chamber is the largest and most broadly-based business organization in the province. Representing more than 125 Chambers of Commerce and 36,000 businesses of every
size, sector and region of the province, the BC Chamber of Commerce is “The Voice of Business in BC. The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce is a membership driven organization comprised of partnership with the business community, our mission is to represent, serve and connect our members to build and sustain a thriving business community in Abbotsford.
Abbotsford Chamber President Mike Welte was in Victoria for the budget presentation and commented, “the Chamber has consistently called on government to balance its books and we are pleased to see this on-going commitment to fiscal discipline. Budget 2015 does that by continuing to control spending while making modest investments into measures to

This week is excellent for you and somebody else to work on future plans or to organise something that you want to do together. This can include travel. Most things will go your way. Others will be willing to come under your influence or to accept your guidance. Keep things within reasonable bounds to maintain control.
It might pay to consider what might be better to let go of so as to make things more stable in some way. This could include trying too hard to please somebody else. Don’t be tempted to spend money on impulse. Instead, carefully consider the long- term benefit – if it is not there you could quickly feel you have wasted your money.
You could realise this week that there is a lot to learn about personal commitment – it may not be what you anticipated. There will be expectations from others that can place you under pressure. Part of this can be deciding exactly what you do want to pursue. Involvement in a group might become more appealing than standing alone.
Time spent gathering information or reviewing facts connected to an outcome you have in mind, will be time well spent. Getting the smaller details in place or coming to final conclusions as to the structure to follow will result in a sense of security about it all. Commitment needs to have the right foundations in place to succeed.
Discussion about your own priorities with somebody else might lead you to presume they are following along the same lines. This is not necessarily the case and you might have to challenge them in some way to discover this, as they can be secretive. Focus on what you will enjoy planning and putting into place yourself long term.
You can reach an interesting stage with others through talking about their involvement or assistance in situations you want to get organised. They may be hard to pin down. There is something to need to learn about this. It may be as simple as them not having the level of interest in you that you initially presumed.
Someone else can realise that it is to their benefit to come your way rather than insisting on theirs. However, they will still not relinquish control completely – they will expect you to do the compromising. You need to instigate serious discussion – they will respond when they know it is important to you. Don’t accept otherwise.
You need to focus on the details in some way – it is part of keeping your eye on the ball. This will be to do with other people and very likely not knowing exactly where you stand with them or what their true position is. They intend to keep this secret. They want you to express what is important to you. Don’t attempt to exaggerate.
Personal commitment to something both creative and enjoyable can bring much pleasure, though it may mean more work than you first realised. Your big test will be to pace things your way. Others will be involved and if you are not careful they can inject too many distractions that can dissolve any foundations you established.
You need to seriously look at commitments you should cut back on so that you have the energy and time to get a good groundwork in place for what it necessary to get done. This can include anything around the home but it can mean any situations that are an important part of your existence. You have the consistency to succeed.
You should feel strong of mind and this will encourage you to put your thoughts and ideas forward, particularly when it comes to friends or any group situation that involves you. This is not about money so don’t let anything along these lines create distractions. From now to mid March is an important decision making time for you.
You will be highly tuned in this week while at the same time put under pressure to view things in a practical light rather than allowing your imagination to take over. Involved in this can be the need to make a commitment. Be aware that this will put limits on already existing situations rather than being able to add it all in together.

However, due to a few changes in the script, Akshay and director Prabhu Deva delayed the shooting. Because Kriti had also given dates to Rohit Shetty's next starring Shah Rukh Khan and Varun Dhawan, the actress had to opt out of Singh Is Bling. Reportedly Amy Jackson has now replaced Kriti in the movie.

Recently, Ranbir Kapoor told a leading daily that he and Kat are not engaged and he has not reached that place in his life. Rumour has it that this may have been Katrina’s ploy behind RK’s quotes! A source says, “Katrina doesn’t want all the focus to shift from her career to personal life and therefore wants to be talked about because of her films and not her relationship with Ranbir. Apparently, that’s the reason why she asked her beau to not openly admit about their engagement.” However, we have also learnt that Katrina had earlier signed a threefilm deal with Disney India, (one of them being Abhishek Kapoor’s the production house. Reason be- commit bulk dates to new film Fitoor.) But apparently she has ing: She’ll be settling down with projects. Will the truth just come returned the signing amount to Ranbir soon and won’t be able to out already?

His all time favourite songs are sung by Kumar Sanu and he especially loves songs from the film Aashiqui sung by the singer.Ayushmann himself is a singer and and he has always looked up to Kumar Sanu.In his next film, YRF’s Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Ayushmann’s on screen character has resemblances with him. His character too is a fan of Kumar Sanu.Kumar Sanu, who has been less active in Bollywood in the recent past, is going to be heard singing two songs in Dum Laga Ke Haisha. This is very special for Ayushmann as his favourite singer has lent his voice for songs in his film. The trailer of the film has garnered a lot of appreciation for a different concept. Dum Laga Ke Haisha also stars debutante Bhumi Pednekar in the lead role

The Future for Farmers is Bright Positive Outlook Seen for Coming Years After coming off of a record year, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is expecting farm incomes to remain high for Canadian farmers in 2015. The 2015 Canadian Agricultural Outlook was released today, pointing to a strong future for the agricultural sector. The report provides an overview of the current situation in Canadian agriculture and some of the key longer term drivers that will influence the growth of the sector. Growing strength in the cattle and hog industry, strong crop sales resulting from high carry-in grain and oilseed stocks despite softening grain prices, and relatively stable input costs produced a record farm income in 2014 and will continue to sustain the agricultural economy in 2015. Quick facts Canadian Agricultural Outlook Highlights: •
Average net worth per farm is expected to set new records of $2.0 million in 2014 and $2.1 million in 2015.
•
Farm-level net operating income in 2014 is forecast to be $78,139, also an all-time high.
•
Aggregate net cash income for 2014 is expected to reach $14.0 billion, 10% above the 2013 record.
•
For 2015, the preliminary forecasts suggest that farm incomes will remain historically high at $13.0 billion.
•
The cattle and hog sectors enjoyed record prices in 2014 due to low North American supplies, and weakening feed grain prices also contributed to higher incomes. Although total livestock receipts will not change significantly in 2015, cattle receipts will continue to benefit from tight markets and higher prices.
•
Exceptional market incomes over the past several years have contributed to lower program payments in 2014 and 2015 compared to previous years.
Quotes “The future for Canadian agriculture remains positive. Our Government will continue to work with industry to strengthen agricultural research and innovation, break down trade barriers, open new markets and enable producers to improve their incomes, support their families, and grow the Canadian economy.” - Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz

Evidence-based models supported by the Crime Prevention Action Fund help youth make smart choices through the provision of community-based educational, cultural, sport and vocational opportunities.
Since the creation of the Crime Prevention Action Fund in 2008, $178.1 million in funding has been approved for 214 projects in communities across Canada. Learning to Lead will receive $1.85 million in federal funding over five years. From April 2013 to March 2014, the Government of Canada invested in 101 communitybased crime prevention programs through the National Crime prevention Strategy, directly impacting more than 22,000 at-risk youth.

First Time Abbotsford Home Buyers & RRSPs Purchasing Your first Home? RRSPs Can Help! Did you know that, as a first time homebuyer there is a federal program in place to assist you with the purchase of your first home? Under the Canadian federal government’s Home Buyer’s Plan, you can use up to $20,000 in RRSP savings ($40,000 per couple) to help finance the down payment on your first home. The great news is that you actually have 15 years to pay back your RRSPs penalty free. This timeframe will give you plenty of time to get settled into your new home. To qualify, your RRSP funds must be deposited for at least 90 days prior to the purchase of your new home. By working with a qualified agent like myself, I will help ensure that the required home purchasing documentation is completed
with you. Prior to withdrawing any RRSP funds, you will need a home purchase contract. Alternatively, if you have $20,000 in savings and these funds are not located in an RRSP, you may want to utilize the Home Buyer’s Plan to its maximum advantage. You could consider transferring your savings into an RRSP, and then withdrawing them through the Home Buyers Plan to receive the tax benefits. Not ready to buy for another few years? Consider the benefits of utilizing a Tax Free Savings Account. With a maximum contribution of $ 5000.00 per year, you can save for your future real estate investment. The great advantage of a Tax Free Savings Account is that you can withdraw anytime without penalty and most importantly its tax free! Before you cont’d on page R3

make your financial decision, remember to always ask advice from an expert such as your financial advisor, lawyer and or tax specialist. These professionals can help determine which approach is best suitable for your financial situation. CMHC - helping with the Canadian dream Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), plays a major role in Canada’s housing industry. As a home buyer you can take advantage of the numerous resources available including home research services, market evaluations, and access to affordable financing options. Programs include; aboriginal housing, residential rehabilitation, adaptation for senior’s housing needs, public and private partnerships, in addition to available grants and awards. CMHC makes it easier for Canadians to obtain a home by providing mortgage loan insurance. For many people, especially first time home buyers, saving for a down payment is a challenge. When a home buyer has 20% or less of the purchase price to put down, a lender requires mortgage insurance for protection against any payment defaults. CMHC provides this insurance for you the home
The Patrika buyer, to limit the lenders’ risk. The lender will then agree to finance up to 95% of the purchase price of your new home. You can then purchase a property with as little as 5% down! For example, if the cost of the home is $250,000, you only need a down payment of $12,500.
PAGE R3
This allows you to become a homeowner, even if you don’t have a large down payment put aside. You just need to meet the following conditions and home ownership can be within your reach: • The home must be located in Canada and considered your principal residence. •You must have a down payment of at least 5% of the purchase price. •Your home-related expenses must not exceed 32% of gross household income which may include utilities, property taxes and condo fees if applicable. • Your total monthly debt load must not exceed 40% of gross monthly household income. Debt such as personal loans, car payments and credit cards would need to be factored into this percentage. • You must be able to pay closing costs equal to at least 1.5% of the purchase price. Closing costs may include lawyers’ fees, GST, land transfers and more.

n an ideal world, every party in a transaction would be fairly represented. When it comes to real estate, however, this may not be the case. The seller and buyer, depending upon the type of agreement with the Real Estate Professional, may not be represented equally. Many people believe that the agent they are working with automatically represents them and their interests. Yet, without specific disclosures this

The benefits of buyer agency is not true. Unless otherwise stated, the agent represents the seller in transactions for the sale of a home. This agent, as part of his or her fiduciary duty, must ensure his loyalty protects the seller’s position throughout the entire process. This is true of the “listing agent” who puts the home up for sale, and the agent who finds the buyer. The agent – who helps the buyer find the right home – works for the seller as a “sub-
agent” of the listing agent. With this system, all agents are legally bound to represent the seller. The buyer has no representation. Example 1: You respond to a home advertised in a newspaper, a home magazine, or the Internet. The agent is friendly and informative. He or she tells you what you believe to be everything about the house. However, the agent represents the seller, not you.
Example 2: You are working with an agent who shows you 10 homes in a weekend. He buys you lunch twice. You tell him your two children. However, he does not offer Buyer Agency. As you feel comfortable with this person, you easily offer personal information. However, without Buyer Agency, this Real Estate Professional is really representing the 10 sellers. cont’d on page R8

Any information you reveal to the agent must be relayed to the sellers. As this Real Estate Professional represents the seller, he or she cannot reveal certain things to you, as the buyer: • The reason for selling (unless the seller specifically authorizes it) • Any concessions, in price or otherwise, that the seller may be willing to give up.
• Any conversations between the agent and the seller • Any information that could be detrimental to the seller, or give you, the buyer, an advantage. This would include a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis) that could put the seller at a disadvantage. Buyer’s agency ensures you get the best deal In recent years changes to the real estate industry have been made to allow for a more equitable arrangement. Buyers are not alone. In fact, with a Real Estate Professional working on behalf of a buyer, as a buyer’s agent, a buyer receives a full range of pro-

fessional services. A buyer’s agent commits to a home buyer and provides undivided, confidential representation. This real estate professional has the tools, knowledge, industry connections, negotiating skills and seasoned experience to work for you. Many people lack these essential skills to ensure you do not pay too much for a home. How does a buyer’s agent help you? A buyer’s agent must work in a professional, ethical manner, ensuring the purchaser is treated with care, confidentiality, full disclosure and accurate accounting. A buyer’s agent will also show the buyer available homes, point out the property’s features, provide financing information and submit the offer to purchase. If a Buyer’s Agency agreement is struck between you and the Agent, it is you, rather than the seller, who has the representation from the Agent with whom you are working. Working under the agreements of Buyer Agency, you get the following benefits:

Professionalism
Reasonable care and skill
The agent must act in accordance with the lawful instructions of the principle (buyer)
• Determining and advising the buyer of a reasonable purchase price
Disclosure of all material factors such as:
• Discovering any facts that would affect the purchase of the home, and advising the buyer
• Seller’s financial condition • Properties true worth • Strengths and weaknesses of the property • Commissions split with other brokers • Legal effects of important contract provisions • Information about property value trends that may influence your decision about a certain area • CMA information. A buyer’s agent can develop a Comparable Market Analysis, revealing at what price similar properties in the area have listed for and sold for.
Loyalty
• Existence of other offers
The real estate agent must act in the best interest of the buyer.
• Relationship between agent and other parties
• Ensuring all details and facts of the sale are correct • Ensuring all money handled between parties is accounted for Most importantly, you can ask a buyer’s agent for advice and assistance in setting your offer price and structuring other terms of your offer. What’s more, you’ll have peace of mind knowing an advocate is working on your behalf to help you buy at the best possible terms. The important thing is to understand your options, so that you don’t unintentionally accept less representation than you want. When you are looking to make the biggest investment of your life, it is not hard to understand why it is important to be represented exclusively.

An Overview of Home Mortgages
M
ost people who purchase a home require some financial assistance. That is, they require someone to lend them sufficient funds to cover the price of a home. Most often, this financial arrangement is handled through a bank or other institution through a MORTGAGE. A mortgage is a legally binding agreement that states a certain party (mortgagor) lends money to another party (mortgagee). The mortgagee agrees to pay back the money at a certain rate, plus interest, over a certain time period. There are two parts to this financial agreement: principal and interest. Principal is the actual amount borrowed. Interest is the lender’s fee you are charged for borrowing. You also have to determine the amortization period (the length of time it will take to completely pay off the mortgage) and the term, or length of time each mortgage agreement guarantees the interest rate. When you are considering a mortgage, you have many options to consider such as type of
mortgage (closed, open, high ratio, vendor take back, convertible), payment schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly) amortization period. Before you sign any documents, shop at several institutions and compare rates and features. You could save, or lose thousands of dollars when the terms, interest rates and payment schedules are not working in your favor. These items are negotiable. Mortgage amount When interest rates are lower, your monthly payments are lower, so you might qualify for a larger mortgage. However, the larger the mortgage, the more you will pay in interest over the length of the mortgage. Your home will cost you more. If you can afford a bit more, without sacrificing your lifestyle, this will greatly contribute to reducing your financial obligation. Down payment To qualify for a conventional mortgage, you need a down payment of 25% of the purchase price. The mortgage cannot exceed 75% of the appraised value.
If you have less than the 25%, you may qualify for a high ratio mortgage. If you qualify, you can purchase a home with a minimum 5% down payment through CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation). Insurance, for an additional 0.5% to 2.75% of the mortgage amount, is mandatory with a high ratio mortgage. The house price may also be capped. See article in this series.
mortgage, here are some areas to consider: Competitive interest rates. Check out all options and interest rates. Sometimes, flexible features may cost more. 90-day rate guarantee. You will be protected
against rising interest rates while allowing you to take advantage of falling rates. Flexible payment options. With these areas, you can tailor the mortgage to your lifestyle. Discuss payment frequency and lump-sum
payment options. Can you skip a payment in special circumstances or double-up on your payments? Closing costs: Be sure you have a clear understanding of the fees involved.
Get pre-approved prior to home shopping House hunting takes a great deal of time and energy. And that is even with pre-approval. Before you start shopping for your dream home, go to the bank. Talk to the lending officer and review your mortgage options. Fill out the necessary paperwork (which only takes a few minutes), and you will know within a matter of days whether you are approved for a mortgage, and for how much. You will know what you can spend on a home before you start looking, you will be protected against interest rate increases, and most importantly, you will be well prepared to make an immediate offer on a home you like. A seller is more likely to consider an offer free and clear of encumbrances. With preapproval, you are showing you are serious and ready to buy. With this simple and FREE service, you will eliminate problems down the road. When you are shopping for a pre-approved

Choosing the Mortgage That’s Right For You When you are buying a home, the type of mortgage you choose, the down payment, the amortization period and even the payments make a difference. To get you started, here is a review of the most common types of mortgages. Assumable mortgage By assuming the existing mortgage, you may be able to save on the usual mortgage fees such as appraisal and CMHC fees. You will save time, since you do not have to negotiate to arrange financing from another lender and the existing mortgage on the home may be less than the current market rates. Alberta is the only province in Canada which allows for as assumable mortgage. You simply apply cash that has already been paid toward the mortgage and resume payments. Some institutions may require you to qualify. Vendor take back With a VTB, the vendor also becomes a lender, holding all or some of the mortgage. Sometimes the vendor will offer this loan at lower than bank rates.
Conventional mortgages With a conventional mortgage, you need a minimum down payment of at least 25% of the purchase price. These mortgages have the lowest carrying costs and do not have to be insured against default. You are responsible for a property appraisal and legal fees registering the mortgage and completing the purchase Low down payment insured mortgage Low down payment mortgages - with down payments as low as 5% - must be insured to cover potential default of payment and their carrying costs. Therefore, this mortgage is higher than a conventional mortgage as they include the insurance premium. Low down payment mortgages are often referred to as National Housing Act (NHA) or High Ratio mortgages. Both Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation [CMHC] or GE Capital Mortgage Insurance Company (Canada) [GE] offers default insurance. You are responsible for appraisal and legal fees and the application fee for the insurance.
Closed, open & convertible mortgages With a closed mortgage, the interest rate is locked in for the full term of the mortgage. You must pay a fee to renegotiate the interest rate or pay off the balance before the end of the term. Closed mortgages are the most effective when interest rates may be rising and for people who are not moving in the short term. First time home buyers find them especially appealing, as mortgage payments are established for a set time frame. The interest rate for closed mortgages may be lower than for open mortgages. These mortgages are available in terms from six months to 25 years. Flexibility is a prime advantage of an open mortgage. They can be repaid either in part or in full at any time, without incurring any additional costs. This mortgage, however, is generally available for a term of six months or one year. Interest rates for open mortgages may be higher than for closed mortgages because of the added flexibility.
In these two situations, you could save a tremendous amount on interest costs: 1) when you’re planning to sell your home soon without buying another and you speculate that interest rates are falling 2) when you think you may be able to pay down a considerable portion of your mortgage debt in the near future. A convertible mortgage is a fixed-rate mortgage that provides the same security as a closed mortgage. It can also be converted to a longer, closed mortgage at any time without cost. Fixed or variable? With a fixed-rate mortgage, the interest rate is locked in for the full term of the mortgage. Buyers know the payment amount throughout the entire term. Fixed-rate mortgages could be either open (could be paid off at any time without costs) or closed (costs apply if paid off prior to maturity). With a variable-rate mortgage (sometimes referred to as a floating mortgage), mortgage payments are set for a term of
one to two years or longer although interest rates may vary during this time. If interest rates go down, more of the payment is applied to reduce the principal. If rates go up, more of the payment is applied to interest payment. Variable-rate mortgages may be open or closed. With a variable rate mortgage a buyer has the flexibility to maximize upon falling interest rates and to convert to a fixed-rate mortgage at any time. If you suspect interest rates will rise, you may want to lock in your fixed rate for a long time. If you speculate that interest rates are headed downward, a shorter time may be a good choice. Prior to signing any mortgage document, you will want to ensure you understand the conditions, terms, payment schedules and consequences of non-payment. Also be sure that your lawyer, accountant and even your Real Estate Professional has reviewed the documents so you are protected against any surprises.
How to avoid the most common buyer errors Shopping for a new home is an emotional experience. It is also time consuming and comes with a myriad of details. Some buyers, however, get caught up in the excitement of buying a new home and tend to overlook some items. Their home purchase turns into an expensive process. These errors generally fall into three areas: •
Paying too much
•
Losing a dream home to another buyer
•
Buying the wrong home
When you have a systematic plan before you shop, you will be sure to avoid these costly errors. Here are some tips on making the most of your home purchase:

Bidding without sufficient information What price do you offer a seller? Is the seller’s asking price too high? Is it a deal? Without research on the market and comparable homes, you could lose thousands of dollars. Before you make that offer, be sure you have researched the market. A Real Estate Professional can offer an unbiased opinion on the value of a home, based on market conditions, condition of the home and neighborhood. Without knowledge of the market, your offer could be too much. Or worse, you could miss out on a great buying opportunity. Buying a mismatched home
What do you need and want in a home? Sounds simple. Yet, clearly identifying your needs and bringing an objective view to home shopping leaves you in a better position. Sometimes, home buyers buy a home that is too large or too small. Perhaps they did not consider the drive to work, the distance to school, or the many repair jobs waiting for completion. Plan ahead. Use your needs list as a guideline for every home you view.
are no liens, debts, undisclosed owners, leases or easements.
Unclear title
For $300 - $500 a professional inspector will conduct a thorough inspection of the home. This way, you will have an idea of the cost of future repairs. Make the final contract subject to a favourable report.
Before you sign any document, be sure the property you are considering is free of all encumbrances. As part of their services, a Real Estate Professional can supply you with a copy of the title to ensure there
Outdated survey Before the purchase is completed, an updated survey is essential. This report will indicate boundaries and structural changes (additions to the house, a new swimming pool, neighbour’s new fence which is extending a boundary line, etc.). Unexpected repairs
Shopping without pre-approval
It only takes a few hours to get mortgage pre-approval. When you are shopping for a home, this gives you more power. A seller is more likely to consider an offer from a serious buyer. Remember additional costs Besides the funds for the purchase of a home, you’ll need funds for items such as loan fees, insurance, legal fees, surveys, inspections, etc. Rushing the closing Before you sign, ensure that all documentation clearly reflects your understanding and conditions of the transaction. Has anything been forgotten? Don’t rush. You could lose money, financing or even the sale.

Understanding the offer Prior to showing your home, and after a thorough evaluation with a Real Estate Professional, you should have the following: a realistic idea of the price, how low you will settle, what conditions you will accept; and what terms would be agreeable. With this information, you are prepared. When an offer is presented, you will be able to compare it to your initial guidelines. Your Real Estate Professional will evaluate these offers and, hopefully, arrive at one that comes closest to your objectives. At the same time, however, your Real Estate Professional will likely exercise some leveraging power with any other negotiable items. A Real Estate Professional works on your behalf, considering all the factors, you as a buyer, and the seller, to work at an agreement that is satisfactory for both parties. It comes down to persuasion and negotiation. Your Real Estate Professional has specialized training in this important area. Evaluating the offer When you have found the home you want, you will need to make a formal written offer. This is called an “offer to purchase.” This is a legally binding document which should be completed with due care and diligence. This document outlines what you, the buyer will give (a combination of price and terms) to the seller in exchange for the home. It is highly recommended that a lawyer or real estate agent prepare the offer on your behalf. This will reduce any financial or time errors. Review the document before signing. If there is anything you do not understand, be sure to ask for clarification. Once signed, the document is binding and you could face consequences upon default. An interested buyer will present an offer to your Real Estate Professional through his or her agent. Your agent will discuss the offer with you, ensuring you understand all aspects. The offer should clearly outline all terms, conditions and details of the sale including: •
Buyer information. Seller information. This includes items (for both parties) such as name, legal and civic address of the property to be purchased.
•
The purchase price.
•
Inclusions in the purchase price (e.g. appliances, carpeting, fixtures, etc.) related to the original listing. List any additions or exclusions. Be sure there are no liens or payment dates due on these items
•
Detailed financial information: deposit amount, refund of interest on deposit, down payment and mortgage, etc.
•
Closing date for the sale of the property

•
If you are assuming the seller’s mortgage, complete details of this obligation. If the mortgage is not being assumed, the owner needs to provide supporting documents, to show clear title (free of all encumbrances). Existing mortgages must be discharged with sale proceeds on closing.
•
Possession date
•
Any Conditions to sale, such as satisfactory home inspection, mortgage approval; sale of an existing home, etc.)
•
Any work/obligations to be completed by seller between the closing date and the date of occupancy (e.g. repairs, painting, leaving the premises)
•
•
Offer time frame. This is the period for which the offer is valid. The offer either expires or is up for re-negotiation on that date. A Real Property Report is mandatory by the financial institution for mortgage approval and by the lawyer or notary for transfer of ownership. This certificate indicates outdoor improvements, from the date of construction, such as decks, patios or pools.
Net proceeds Keep in mind that the purchase price is not the final price you will receive. That is because you will have additional fees to cover from the sale of the home including: •
lawyer
•
real estate agent
•
bank (for the balance of your mortgage and for any prepayment or discharge penalties)
•
taxes (if there are any outstanding)
You and your agent should thoroughly review every detail. If there is anything you do not understand, ask! Before you accept and sign the offer, it is a good idea to have your lawyer review the offer. This way, you can be confident nothing has been missed, everything is legally accurate, and your interests are protected. Offer strategies You could handle the offer in several ways, according to your timing and needs. If you are not attached to the home you want to buy, you could try and present a very low offer. This offer is considerably lower than the asking price. However, a low offer may be successful if the seller is desperate to sell. The seller could present a counter offer. Alternatively, the seller might turn down your offer completely and refuse to sell the home to you. Your Real Estate Professional can offer some
professional guidance on presenting a fair and reasonable offer. When you have fallen in love with a home, and you really want the home, you could present your best offer. This offer leaves no negotiating room, but if the market is hot, it is an offer that will attract attention. Your Real Estate Professional can advise you on the best way of making an offer that is fair and reasonable, without indicating to the seller that you are desperate. Why pay more than necessary. In a seller’s market, perhaps you may want to pitch a price, along with the multiple offers probably on the table. This often happens when there is a bidding war for the property. You could up the offer, or walk away from the home. An offer can be conditional or firm When your offer is firm, then you are telling the seller you are willing to purchase the home without any conditions. Upon acceptance of the offer, you have purchased the home. This is a legally binding agreement. Upon default, if you are unable to close, you could lose your deposit and face legal consequences. Be sure to confirm your financial matters prior to signing any documents.
A conditional offer includes stipulations on the purchase. These could revolve around a home inspection, financing, or sale of your existing home. If any of these conditions are not met then the home is not sold. The deposit A sum of money, usually no larger than 3-5% of the purchase price, shows that you are serious about purchasing the home. This amount will be applied against the purchase of the home when the sale closes. From offer to acceptance Upon reviewing your offer, the seller can accept it as is, reject it or return with a counter offer. A counter could be in regards to price, conditions, closing date or other variables. The offers will continue between the seller and the buyer, until both parties have come to some agreement, or one party stops the negotiations. Once the offer meets with your approval, you will want to secure the transaction with a deposit. This indicates your intention to proceed with the purchase. When you have accepted the offer, you will proceed through the closing details until you move in. The next article in this series explains the closing procedures.
