The Quebec rules that apply

Consumer credit in Quebec is licensed by the provincial or territorial regulator, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list of provincial and territorial regulators.

The federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) are explicit that Quebec does not license payday lending, which changes which rules a short-term advance falls under.

Small places are covered the same way as large ones: census figures for the place, and the provincial position on lending.

How borrowing works locally

A provincial regulator publishes licensing requirements, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list of provincial and territorial regulators. Disclosure requirements mean the cost of borrowing must be stated before an agreement is signed.
