Mortgage loans in Saskatchewan

How a mortgage is priced and assessed in Saskatchewan depends on the product and on the provincial rules that sit over it.

This page covers mortgage for Saskatchewan residents, and it carries the provincial rule alongside the product description.

The product in plain terms

Mortgage loans: Borrowing against residential property, including how a federally regulated lender tests the file.

A mortgage is secured by residential property, and federally regulated lenders apply a qualifying test to the file before the amount is set.

A secured product names an asset, and the lender registers or holds a claim against it.

The asset is the lender's fallback, so the price is usually lower than for an unsecured equivalent.

The Saskatchewan position

In Saskatchewan, payday lending operates under a licensed provincial regime, and the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) record a maximum cost of borrowing of $14 for each $100 under the federal limit (this province's own published limit is $17 per $100 advanced, the top of the range the Regulations describe) advanced under SOR/2024-114.
