  • Address: Send your email to service@cmls.ca.

  • Subject: Clearly mention the purpose of your request (e.g., "Advance Request," "One-Time Payment," etc.).

  • Content: Specify the type of transaction you need, such as:

    • One Time Payment

    • Advance

    • Ongoing Payment (on a customer-selected date)

    • Ongoing Payment (on the current interest-only payment date)

  • Amount: Include the exact amount(s) you wish to apply per request.

  • Processing: Upon receipt, the CMLS team will process your request as instructed.
