What British Columbia adds for a line of credit in Kitimat

British Columbia licenses the lender rather than the loan, and that is the position for a Kitimat borrower as well.

One part of the British Columbia framework that borrowers in Kitimat ask about is payday lending: A licensed payday regime operates here. the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) cap the total cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced, and a province may set a lower figure, and the lower figure applies. Confirm the cap currently in force with the provincial regulator.

Kitimat, with 8,236 residents, sits in the smaller-population group of covered places, and size does not change the provincial rules that apply.
