Anesthesiology mortgages, done right.

Anesthesiology is among the higher-earning specialties, and most attendings incorporate. The qualification story is about reading corporate income correctly, not the modest T4 you take.

The short answer

A Canadian anesthesiologist typically qualifies for $1.5M to $2.5M on attending income, and $3M or more once incorporated and qualified on corporate income plus dividends. The high projected income for the specialty makes it one of the strongest physician qualification profiles.

What matters for your mortgage.

High, stable income
Anesthesiology income is both high and relatively stable, which strengthens qualification and can open the best conventional pricing.
Incorporation is the norm
Most attending anesthesiologists incorporate. The whole qualification game is reading corporate income, not the low T4 taken for tax efficiency.
Larger purchases
Higher capacity often means conventional (20%+ down) purchases above $2M, where penalty type and prepayment flexibility matter as much as rate.
03

Incorporation and your qualification.

An incorporated anesthesiologist grossing $500K through the corporation may take a $180K T4. Standard lenders value that at $180K. Corporate-income programs read the corporation, typically lifting qualification by 50-80%.
