The Quebec rules that apply

Provincial or territorial law decides who may lend in Quebec, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list that names the regulator responsible.

How borrowing works locally

Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.

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