With a Variable Closed, you will need to wait until the maturity date to pay it off or you will be required to pay a penalty.

Variable Closed mortgages are for those who understand their mortgage rate will fluctuate over a set period of time.
High-Ratio vs. Conventional Mortgage
Any purchase where the down payment is less than 20% of the total price is considered a high-ratio mortgage, and the mortgage must be insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) or Sagen. A fee is charged for this insurance with the amount dependent on the Mortgage Amount to Value of property you are purchasing. High-Ratio mortgages are for buyers with less than a 20% down payment.
A conventional mortgage is a loan for no more than 80% of the appraised value or purchase price of the property, whichever is less.
