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.

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.

At this size the census figures are large, but the licensing position is the same provincial one.

How borrowing works locally

A prepayment privilege allows a borrower to pay more than the scheduled amount, sometimes with a charge attached.

Debt management plans are administered by accredited credit counsellors, and they are not loans. A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file.
