I have no idea what the ultimate reasons for it are, but in Canada, I don't think it's even possible to fix the rate for more than ten years. When Canadians speak of "fixed rate," they typically mean fixing it for only five years or so.
Wow. Yeah, signing up for a mortgage I expected to pay off over thirty years would frighten me with that arrangement.
All Canadian banks offer up to 10-year fixed rate terms, none do longer. "A typical mortgage in Canada has a 5-year term with a 25-year amortization period." Not sure what is so scary about that...
