FAQ
Is this right for you?
Getting your credit report online in Canada is actually super easy. If you’ve ever wondered what lenders see when they check your credit, this is how you find out. There are two main places to get it: Equifax and TransUnion. You just go to their websites, sign up, and answer a few questions to prove you’re really you—stuff like your address, birthday, and info about past loans or credit cards. Once you’re in, you can see your full credit report, which shows how you’ve handled money in the past—like if you paid bills on time or if you owe a bunch of money.
Some places do charge for credit reports, especially if you want more than just the basics. Paid credit report services usually give you extra features like your credit score, daily or weekly monitoring, and alerts if anything changes, like if someone tries to open a new account in your name. These services can be really handy if you’re trying to improve your credit or if you just want peace of mind knowing someone’s keeping an eye on things for you. Some companies even break things down in a way that’s easier to understand, so you’re not staring at a bunch of numbers and wondering what they mean.
