Welcome
Welcome to Canada Payday Review. Our aim is to give you an authoritative source for information on payday laws and lenders throughout Canada. To that end, we have summarized all the relevant laws and listed all the major lenders for each of the provinces of Canada, as well as the territories.
What is a payday loan?
The legal definition of a payday loan in Canada is a loan of up to $1500 for a term of 62 days or less. In practice, however, the term will typically only be until the borrower’s next payday. Also, most lenders won’t extend more than about $300 in credit to a first-time borrower, and most provinces have additional limits based on the borrower’s earnings. A common limit is 50% of the average of the borrower’s last two paycheques.
