Mortgage refinancing in Quebec

How a mortgage refinance is priced and assessed in Quebec depends on the product and on the provincial rules that sit over it.

This Quebec page explains mortgage refinance: what the product is for, how a lender reads the file, and what the province adds.

What a mortgage refinance involves

Mortgage refinancing: Replacing an existing mortgage to change the rate, the term or the amount borrowed, and what it costs.

Refinancing replaces an existing mortgage to change the rate, the term or the amount, and the property remains the security.

A secured product names an asset, and the lender registers or holds a claim against it.

Insurance on the asset is commonly required while the security is in place.

How Quebec regulates it

For Quebec, the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) record that payday lending is not licensed, so the cost limit should be confirmed with the provincial regulator.

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.

One of the covered Quebec places is Mercier, counted at 14,626 residents in the 2021 Census.

The Quebec coverage runs to 1150 places, from Montréal at 1,762,949 residents down to Saint-Guillaume-Nord at 102. For a mortgage refinance, the same provincial position governs the contract.

What the lender weighs

For a mortgage refinance, Quebec lenders compare the payment against income and against the obligations already on file.

An asset pledged against a mortgage refinance is valued before the amount is confirmed.

The purpose of the borrowing is recorded, though it rarely changes the price of a mortgage refinance.
