The posted 5-year conventional mortgage benchmark, Bank of Canada series V80691335, was 6.19% for the week of October 28, 2026. That weekly print was still the latest one when it was checked on November 3, 2026.

Bank of Canada series V80691335 is the conventional 5-year mortgage rate in the weekly posted-rate table for the major chartered banks. The observation for the week of October 28, 2026 was 6.19%. A check of the series on November 3, 2026 still showed that October 28 print as the latest week.

This is the posted benchmark, not a discounted street rate. The January 28, 2026 retrieval of the same table is not the current print.
