These are two of the 20 products described on the site, and each has a national page as well as the provincial rules.

• Personal loans: A fixed sum repaid on a schedule, usually unsecured, for almost any purpose a lender will accept.
• Mortgage loans: Borrowing against residential property, including how a federally regulated lender tests the file.

How borrowing works locally

A deposit or trade-in reduces the amount financed and therefore the interest charged over the term.

A provincial regulator publishes licensing requirements, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list of provincial and territorial regulators. A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.

The Quebec rules that apply

Licensing for consumer credit in Quebec sits with the province or territory, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada maintains the public 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.

At the small end of the census range, the community still borrows inside the province's licensing system.
