Bank of Canada Interest Rate Explained and How It Shapes Your Mortgage
With more than 20 years in lending and underwriting, I've seen firsthand how the Bank of Canada's decisions ripple through every mortgage. Right now, the rate sits at 2.25%. That number shapes your payments—especially if you have a variable rate, which moves with the prime. Fixed rates, on the other hand, are tied to bond yields and can shift the landscape of affordability and demand in the market. No matter your situation, staying informed and building a realistic budget is key. My experience has taught me there’s always a solution that fits—so understanding these rate movements is a powerful first step.
