If you’ve been told your credit is “bad,” it helps to understand exactly what that means. Here’s a straightforward breakdown of how credit scoring works in Canada.
Equifax Canada
One of two agencies managing credit scores in Canada. Used by services like Borrowell. Scores may differ slightly between bureaus.
TransUnion Canada
The second major agency. Used by services like Credit Karma Canada. Checking your own score is a soft inquiry — does not affect your rating.
Canadian Credit Score Ranges
800–900
EXCELLENT
Lowest risk. Best rates, easiest approval.
720–799
VERY GOOD
Low risk. Good rates, easy approval.
660–719
GOOD
Average risk. Most loans approved, standard rates.
560–659
FAIR
Some risk factors. May be declined or offered high rates.
300–559
POOR/BAD
Higher risk. Most banks decline.
