First question
How far behind is the mortgage?
The number of missed payments matters, but so do legal fees, interest, taxes, insurance, and the lender's next deadline.

Arrears can affect refinance and sale plans
A missed payment problem can become harder when there are condo arrears, tax arrears, private lenders, or a pending closing.
First review
Find the safest way to catch up or exit
The options may include arrears payment, short arrangement, refinance, sale, payout review, or lender negotiation.
Before arrears become a sale problem
Toronto mortgage arrears should be reviewed before the lender moves from collection to legal pressure.
Falling behind does not always mean the property will be sold. It does mean the arrears, lender letters, payment history, and next date should be reviewed so the borrower can decide whether catching up, refinancing, selling, or negotiating is realistic.
Missed payment review
Arrears and payout check
Refinance or payment plan
Sale or lender negotiation
Mortgage arrears in Toronto can feel manageable at first, then become serious when the lender sends a demand or the file is sent to a lawyer. Missed payments are only part of the issue. Interest, legal costs, taxes, insurance, condo arrears, and lender fees may also be added.
The first review should confirm the amount, the lender’s next step, and whether catching up is realistic. If the arrears can be paid, the borrower needs a clear number and deadline. If they cannot be paid, the review should move quickly to refinance, sale, negotiation, or payout questions.
If you can catch up
A catch-up plan should be specific. It should say what will be paid, when it will be paid, and what proof supports the plan. A lender may be more open to time where the plan is clear and the borrower is not relying only on hope.
If refinancing is being explored
Refinancing should be checked against the current payout, appraisal status, lender conditions, and closing date. A refinance that is close to approval may still fail if the payout changes or title issues remain.
If selling may protect equity
Selling can be painful, but it may protect more equity than waiting until the lender takes control. The listing price, sale timeline, payout, taxes, condo arrears, and closing conditions should be reviewed before relying on a sale plan.
When Toronto borrowers call
Arrears are easier to handle before a notice of sale arrives.
Behind on payments
You missed one or more mortgage payments.
The review should confirm what is unpaid, what costs were added, and what the lender will accept.
Payment plan
You want time to catch up.
A request is stronger when it includes dates, amounts, proof of income, and a realistic plan.
Bigger decision
Refinance or sale may be needed.
If catching up is not realistic, it is better to know early and protect the strongest remaining option.
