How borrowing works locally

A consumer proposal or a bankruptcy is administered by a licensed insolvency trustee rather than by a lender.

A mortgage is registered against the property, which is what gives the lender its claim. Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.
