In Canada, credit scores typically range from 300 to 900 and are tracked by the two major credit bureaus:
1.Equifax:

2.TransUnion:

So why does this matter for your mortgage? 👀
Your credit score can directly affect:
✔️ Whether you qualify for a mortgage
✔️ The interest rate you may be offered
✔️ Your overall borrowing power and affordability
A stronger score can potentially save you thousands in interest over the life of your mortgage, while a lower score could mean higher monthly payments or fewer mortgage options.
The good news? Small habits can make a big difference. 🫶
