A couple of weeks ago I got to speak to a remarkable group of newcomers on the fundamentals of renting and buying at the Economic Empowerment Learning Symposium & Job Fair alongside
Fahd Hasan (RBC Mortgage Specialist) , orchestrated beautifully by ACCES Employment - an incredible charity organization that assists newcomers in Canada facing employment barriers to entering the Canadian job market.
The event was funded by IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada), Ontario Ministry of Labour, WCG, City of Toronto, and United Way Greater Toronto.
The Lecture was called “Rent vs. Buy?” and was sponsored by RBC. I joined in as a guest speaker speaking on the rental market, and what Landlords generally look for in rental applications and as well as the steps towards homeownership.
