The Quebec rules that apply

Provincial or territorial law decides who may lend in Quebec, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list that names the regulator responsible.

Quebec is the province that does not license payday lending, so the federal cap that applies in licensed provinces has no provincial regime to sit inside.

Places in the middle band are mid-sized by Canadian standards, and the products compared here are the same provincial set.

How borrowing works locally

Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.

Debt management plans are administered by accredited credit counsellors, and they are not loans. Provincial licensing decides who may lend, and federal rules add a ceiling where a licensed payday regime exists.
