Is it permissible to work as a mortgage broker in Canada and receive commission from the bank?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I work as a mortgage broker in canada. It means that i arrange financing for people who want to buy a house but do not have money and i arrange loan for them from bank and i get commission from the bank. This loan involves interest which the client has to pay to the bank. Is this kind of job allowed in islam or should i change the job and is my earnings halal. Please explain in detail.
