The Manulife Bank of Canada surveyed 2132 Canadian homeowners in all provinces between ages 30-59 with household income of more than $50,000 between September 10-20, 2013.

According to this survey (conducted by Research House), Most Canadian homeowners rank becoming debt-free a high priority, but only 51% are confident they’ll actually reach this goal.
