🏦 BANK OF CANADA RATE UPDATE | SEPTEMBER 2, 2026
The Bank of Canada has held its policy rate at 2.25%, meaning there is no change to Prime Rate today. Prime remains at 4.45%.
For homeowners with variable-rate mortgages or HELOCs, this means your rate will remain unchanged following today’s announcement.
For anyone currently shopping for a home, coming up for renewal, or wondering whether fixed or variable makes more sense right now, remember that Bank of Canada decisions are only one piece of the mortgage-rate picture. Fixed rates are influenced more heavily by the bond market, so they can move even when Prime doesn’t.
📅 The next Bank of Canada rate announcement is October 28, 2026, which will also include the next Monetary Policy Report.
