About the Company

Internet site or telephony systems are securely routed to Pioneer who
accepts all responsibility regarding compliance with local, Provincial, and
Federal regulations and laws.
Fees and Services
Use of the CanadaMortgage.com site is offered to
applicants free of charge. There are no fees relating to the mortgage
application, or application for any other product or service, through
CanadaMortgage.com. Regardless, a fee may be charged directly to the

We will not be liable for any delay, difficulty in use,
inaccuracy of information, computer viruses, malicious code or other defect

A more secure means of communicating with us over the internet is

ONLINE" service. However, users should be aware that this online
mortgage application has also been designed specifically to omit the
necessity of the applicant having to provide sensitive information.
Applicants acknowledge that it is their responsibility to protect their
sensitive financial information by declining to transmit it on the secure
application or in the accompanying notes submitted. Those applicants that
are hesitant to provide personal information over the Internet are encouraged
to select the "Arrange A Call Back" option and to proceed with
their application conventionally by phone, fax or in person with Pioneer.
