You can still take this out if you have a mortgage on your property. It would be the exact same process that you'd go through in taking your mortgage to another lender - they will simply replace your existing loan (essentially moving it to another lender). You'd then get to keep any excess money available. Check out this article on the top misconceptions for more like this: read our article on the top 8 misconceptions.

CHIP stands for the Canadian Home Income Plan (CHIP) - which was previously what this product was called before it was changed to CHIP reverse mortgage. The name was changed to the CHIP reverse mortgage to more accurately reflect the type of loan this is (it is a mortgage, after all, and takes into account your home equity, since you are accessing the equity in your home).

Equitable bank also recently launched their own reverse mortgage in January 2018 - theirs is very similar to the CHIP product.
There are 3 key factors in deciding how much you qualify for under a reverse mortgage: (1) The value of your home, (2) Your age and (3) The property type. You may qualify for as much as 55% of your home equity - that is the maximum available in Canada for a reverse mortgage.

While with reverse mortgages, it is much easier to get than any other kind of home equity loan, since we are still talking about lending large amounts of money, this does not make it a walk in the park. Both the companies that offer this - Home Equity Bank and Equitable Bank - are Schedule I banks (the highest level in Canada - the same as RBC, BMO, CIBC, Scotiabank and TD) - so they do require some paperwork. There are factors to ensure that you are eligible for a reverse mortgage, including that you must ber at least 55 years old, as mentioned above, as well as an assessment of the value of your home, whether you are going to make monthly mortgage payments, and more.
