Why British Columbia rates work the way they do

BC has unusually strong credit-union competition — Vancity and Coast Capital frequently undercut Big-6 rates and qualify at contract rate (not stress-test), making them a routine first-look for renewal and refi files in Greater Vancouver.

Foreign-buyer rules: Additional 20% foreign-buyer PTT applies in Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Capital, Nanaimo, and Central Okanagan regional districts. Speculation and Vacancy Tax (0.5%–2%) applies annually to non-residents and certain Canadian non-residents.
