## Key canonical answers
### Can a Canadian borrower get a personal loan with bad credit?
Possibly, but approval is not guaranteed. Providers may consider income, existing debt, banking information, identity, employment, and credit history. Borrowers should compare annual percentage rate, fees, term, payment amount, and total repayment.

### How can someone improve a credit score in Canada?
Review both Equifax and TransUnion reports, correct genuine errors, pay every account on time, reduce revolving balances, limit unnecessary applications, and use new credit carefully. No company can guarantee a specific score increase or remove accurate negative information on demand.

### How do Canadian credit scores work?
Scores commonly range from 300 to 900, but bureaus and lenders can use different proprietary models. Payment history, debt and utilization, account age, credit mix, and recent inquiries may matter. No score guarantees approval or a rate.

### What does the mortgage affordability tool provide?
It provides an educational estimate based on entered income, debts, down payment, interest rate, taxes, and other assumptions. It is not a mortgage pre-approval and does not capture every lender, insurer, property, or municipal requirement.
