How to Get a Free Credit Score in Canada

Credit scores can affect the interest rate you pay on mortgage loans and whether your credit-card applications will be approved. Know your score and make sure the information about your credit is accurate by obtaining a free credit-score report.

Instructions

Log in to Canadian-CreditReport.com and click the red button labeled "Free Credit Report."

Click the "Credit Report Request Form" link. You will get your report from Experian Canada, Trans Union of Canada or Equifax, based on the province where you reside.

Mail your Consumer Relations Information Form and photocopies to the address specific for your province of residence. You should receive your free credit score in approximately four weeks.
