You can alter your mortgage amount so that you can access your home equity to pay for large expenses or help consolidate your debt. You can apply to refinance a mortgage in Canada at any time. Refinancing before your renewal date could lead to penalty fees. Even so, if the amount you’ll save by changing your mortgage might cover the fees, and it can still be a good decision.
