Foreign worker on temporary work permit or VISA

• Proof of income: Like a permanent resident, temporary residents must provide proof of employment and income.
• Work permit documentation: A work VISA with a determined expiry date or an IMM 1442 work permit form is required.
• Valid driver's license: A valid Canadian driver's license will be required for a vehicle loan.
• Proof of car insurance: You will also need proof of insurance when you come in to pick up your vehicle and sign the loan papers.

What type of vehicle loan am I eligible for as a newcomer?

There are slight differences between traditional vehicle loans and loans for newcomers. That said, you have options at your disposal and finding the perfect new, or pre-owned Hyundai vehicle is a fairly easy process, even if you are new to
Canada. Here are some elements to remember when applying for a vehicle loan as a permanent resident or temporary foreign worker.

Vehicle age:

Depending on the financial institution, there are restrictions on how old the vehicle you are buying can be. The maximum age is usually ten years old, although some financial institutions will restrict pre-owned vehicle loans to models
that are four years or less.

Maximum loan amount:

There may also be restrictions on how much you can borrow for your vehicle purchase. The maximum limit tends to be $75,000, more than enough to find the perfect new or pre-owned vehicle for your needs at 401 Dixie Hyundai.

Maximum term and amortization:

Again, there will be differences in maximum term and amortization periods for your newcomer automotive loan in Canada, depending on the financial institution that provides your loan. That said, the maximum term usually ranges from 60 to
96 months, giving you some flexibility.

Downpayment requirements:

Most newcomer vehicle loans will require a downpayment, although each situation will differ. If a downpayment is required, it will usually be equivalent to about 10% of the total value of the loan.

Foreign worker on temporary work permit or VISA
