Overview

Who is IG Wealth Management?

Investors Group — major Canadian wealth manager offering mortgage products to existing wealth clients. Bundled mortgage + investment + insurance pricing for affluent borrowers. Power Corporation–owned.

IG Wealth Management sits within the a-lender monolines tier of Canada's mortgage market. Broker-channel non-bank funders. Typically 10-25 bps below the Big-6 on insured + insurable purchases.

From thousands of funded files across 99+ Canadian lenders, our brokerage has placed thousands of mortgages with IG Wealth Management and we know their underwriting appetite intimately — what they say yes to, what they push back on, and what file structure gets a clean approval the first time. IG Wealth Management is broker-channel only, meaning the only way to access their rate sheet is through a licensed mortgage brokerage like ours.

Don’t see yours? Ask Maya.

What are IG Wealth Management's current mortgage rates in Canada?
IG Wealth Management's rates change daily and are channel-specific — branch rates differ from broker-channel rates. As a brokerage we access IG Wealth Management's broker-channel sheet, typically 15-30 bps below their walk-in rate. Our live rate board (last reviewed May 13, 2026) shows current best-in-network across 99+ lenders. See our live rate board.
How do I qualify for a mortgage with IG Wealth Management?
Standard Canadian qualifying: 5%+ down (under 20% requires CMHC/Sagen/Canada Guaranty default insurance), OSFI B-20 stress test at the higher of contract rate + 2% or 5.25%, GDS ≤ 39% and TDS ≤ 44%. IG Wealth Management's underwriting has specific preferences we know from working with them — we'll tell you whether your file is a strong fit before submitting.
Is IG Wealth Management a good mortgage lender?
IG Wealth Management is genuinely strong on: Wealth-management bundled pricing, Affluent borrower files, Power Corp backing. As your broker we evaluate IG Wealth Management against 99+ other Canadian lenders for your specific file — sometimes they're the best fit, sometimes a different lender is. The honest answer depends on your file profile, not the lender's marketing.
Can I switch to IG Wealth Management at renewal?
Yes, if your file qualifies. A transfer-in at renewal typically costs you $0 — IG Wealth Management covers the discharge fee from your old lender and the appraisal as a transfer incentive. We benchmark IG Wealth Management's offer against your existing lender's renewal rate and the broader market 6 months before renewal so the switch (or stay) is timed properly.
Does IG Wealth Management work with self-employed borrowers?
IG Wealth Management focuses on standard A-lender files. For self-employed borrowers we'd typically place at a specialty BFS lender (Home Trust, Equitable, RFA, Haventree) and refinance to IG Wealth Management once 2 clean NOAs accumulate. See our self-employed mortgages.
How long does IG Wealth Management take to approve a mortgage?
IG Wealth Management's commitment turnaround on a clean broker-channel file is typically 24-72 hours from submission. Complex files (BFS, foreign income, atypical down payment) can take 5-10 business days. Conditional approval to funding is usually 14-30 days depending on appraisal, lawyer, and conditions.
What's the difference between IG Wealth Management branch rates and broker rates?
IG Wealth Management is broker-channel only — they don't operate retail branches, so there's no "branch rate" to compare to. Their entire pricing comes through licensed brokers.
Does IG Wealth Management offer pre-approvals?
Yes — IG Wealth Management, like all major Canadian lenders, offers rate holds (typically 90-120 days) for pre-approved borrowers. We can submit your file to IG Wealth Management for a real underwritten pre-approval, not just a soft rate-hold. This means if rates rise you're locked, and if they fall most lenders honour the lower rate. Start your pre-approval here.
What prepayment privileges does IG Wealth Management offer?
Most major Canadian lenders including IG Wealth Management offer 15-20% annual lump-sum prepayment plus 15-20% payment-increase privileges per anniversary year. The exact privilege depends on the specific product family (insured/insurable/conventional) and term selected. We disclose the privileges and IRD calculation method up front so you know your exit cost before you sign.
What if IG Wealth Management declines my mortgage application?
As a broker we don't single-submit — if IG Wealth Management declines, we have 98+ other lender options across A-tier, alt-A, MIC, and private. We'll diagnose the decline reason (credit, income, LTV, property type, beacon), fix what's fixable, and re-strategize. A bank decline ends your bank application; with us, it's one route taken off the map and we pivot.
