Suren & Marina, The New Canadian Immigrants.
Zown gave $12,000 and helped chart the path to home ownership for this couple
Meet Suren & Marina
Summary
Suren and Marina arrived in Canada in 2019 as professionals under the Skilled Immigrant program. Suren works as a licensed technician in the automotive field, while Marina works for an immigration company. Like many new immigrants, they were overwhelmed by the Canadian housing market—unsure if their household income could support a mortgage, where to buy, or how to navigate the process. The constant stream of conflicting information only added to their uncertainty.
How We Helped
Homeownership felt like a distant dream for Suren and Marina, especially after being pre-approved for only $365,000—an amount far below what they needed to secure a home in their desired areas. That's when they found Zown through a Facebook ad and decided to book a consultation.
Zown's client-first approach changed everything. Beyond the $12,000 in Upfront Down Payment that Zown provided, the team helped guide Suren and Marina through the complexities of home buying. They connected the couple with the right mortgage provider, legal partners, and a trusted realtor who found them the perfect home outside the GTA. Zown didn't just provide financial assistance—it gave them the confidence to move forward and take ownership of their future.
The Outcome
Without Zown: Suren and Marina were paying thousands in rent each month in a city where they didn't want to put down roots.
With Zown: On June 3, 2024, Suren and Marina moved into their very first home in Orillia, thanks to $12,000 in Upfront Down Payment assistance from Zown.
