How borrowing works locally

Provincial licensing decides who may lend, and federal rules add a ceiling where a licensed payday regime exists.

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one. A broker arranges credit but does not lend, and the lender remains the party that makes the decision.
