The Bank of Canada announced today that it is holding its key policy rate steady at 2.25% (this is not the current interest rate available for mortgages, just the interest rate the bank of Canada lends money at).
Here’s what today’s announcement means for your mortgage:
If you have a fixed-rate mortgage: Your existing interest rate and payment are not affected.
If you have a variable-rate mortgage or Home Equity Line of Credit: There is no change following today’s announcement, so your rate and payment will remain the same.
The Bank of Canada’s next two scheduled rate announcements are:
Wednesday, October 28, 2026
Wednesday, December 9, 2026
