Ottawa Information

The capital city of Canada is on the south bank of Ottawa River and on the border of Gatineau. The city boasts low unemployment and the best living standards in the country. It is a large city with a population of 316 people per square kilometer. Ottawa has a rich foreign population and most residents consider themselves Christians though other religions are also represented. The city is considered as one of the most educated in Canada with multiple cultural, post-secondary and research institutions.

The Power of Sale and Foreclosure Process

It only takes 15 days after defaulting on a mortgage for a power of sale to be started. The lender will mail you a letter and you only have 35 days to pay up and correct the issues detailed in the Notice of Sale Under Mortgage. If the ‘Notice of Sale Under Mortgage’ is left uncorrected the homeowner will receive a ‘statement of claim’. This outlines all costs accompanying mortgage settlement including; land taxes, lawyer fees, mortgage fees among other charges that may be unique to the Ottawa region. If you don’t act on the ‘statement of claim’ the lender may issue a ‘writ of possession’ followed by a request to evict you. In the case of a power of sale, the lender will not take the property’s title but they have legal right to sell it and recover their investment. Any excess that remains from the sale of a home is given back to the homeowner but that isn’t usually much considering all fees involved. This is different from foreclosure where the lender may take the title to your home, giving them total ownership including remaining equity in the property.

Stopping a Power of Sale or Foreclosure
