Ontario licensing and Cambridge

Ontario licenses the lender rather than the loan, and that is the position for a Cambridge borrower as well.

One part of the Ontario framework that borrowers in Cambridge 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.

In Cambridge, the census figures are large at 138,479 residents, but the licensing position is the same provincial one.
