According to Dennis you must attend the LRRC in order to get started with the process.

He told me about some website that offers the course

Homebuyercert.org

I think you can get on a list of some sort if they have a cancelation.

Didn't read through whole thread, if I have someone who can co sign does that help me get a larger loan assuming my personal income is within the upper limit? Or is it solely based on my income.

No. Only you and your wife's income counts.

They have regular interest rates- unlike TD's insanely low rates.
