What are the requirements for when you need a car financing in Canada??

While each lender might have their own requirements, these are the basic ones that you can expect to see from any lender you choose to finance through:

  • A form of identification issued by the government
  • Proof of residency
  • Proof of income
  • Proof of car insurance
  • Be at or above the age of majority in province or territory (Ontario’s age of majority is 18)
  • Consent to have your credit checked

When your credit gets checked, the lender is looking to see if you meet the minimum credit score to get approved. While it can vary from one lender to the next, the minimum score that you should have is 650.
