Canadian mortgage deferrals have outnumbered ones in the United States by about double. Canadians have gotten a much better deal when it comes to getting help during this COVID-19 pandemic than home buyers in the United States. Canadian deferrals have peaked around fifteen percent while the U.S. deferrals have peaked around eight percent total. Canadians have long been known to have extra spending money compared to citizens in the U.S. This is in addition to the social health care they receive.
