Products compared here

Each product below has its own page, and the Quebec position applies to all of them.

• Business loans: Commercial borrowing, what lenders read in a business file, and how the assessment differs from personal credit.

How borrowing works locally

Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation.

A provincial regulator publishes licensing requirements, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list of provincial and territorial regulators. Provincial licensing decides who may lend, and federal rules add a ceiling where a licensed payday regime exists.

The Quebec rules that apply

The regulator for consumer credit in Quebec is the body listed by the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) provincial and territorial regulators.

Quebec does not license payday lending, a fact the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) record when it lists the provinces that regulate the product.
