"Mortgage.ca" is owned by BMO. It does not resolve. Meaning, that the correct spelling of this word is not presently put to its highest and best use; namely, to be a landing page of some sort for a mortgage advertising campaign.
In kind, the traffic this particular misspelling stands to receive is not much as of right now. But I say it's only a matter of time before BMO makes use of the name, and inherently, this one starts getting a bit more traffic.
Remember, people don't know how to spell the word "mortgage". So I'd keep paying the reg fee.

It sold for big bucks as I can remember, because it had type-in.

It's a typo of a generic word, so should be safe. If Mortgage.ca ever gets a website on it and some promotion from BMO, then this typo would start getting traffic.
MORGAGE.ca (or the .com real thing for that matter) would actually be a better typo/misspelling than MORTAGE, non-anglophones would be a lot more likely to misspell it that way (morgage)..... I agree with Maxwell.....and what a waste that such an institution like BMO (Bank of Montreal) does not even have a stationary page, or just a simple redirect for Mortgage.ca.....it's almost a sin for big generic terms like that one (even in ccTLDs) that the owner does not even bother to park the domain, or redirect browsers landing on that page....
