How borrowing works locally

A broker arranges credit but does not lend, and the lender remains the party that makes the decision.

A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes. A mortgage is registered against the property, which is what gives the lender its claim.

The British Columbia rules that apply

Licensing for consumer credit in British Columbia sits with the province or territory, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada maintains the public list of provincial and territorial regulators.
