What are Personal Loans in Canada?

Personal loans are unsecured loans that provide Canadians with lump-sum financing for virtually any purpose. Unlike auto loans or mortgages that are tied to specific purchases, personal loans give you the freedom to use the funds however you need - whether it's consolidating debt, making home improvements, covering emergency expenses, or funding major life events.

Because personal loans are unsecured (no collateral required), they're faster to obtain than secured loans. You can typically get approved within 24 hours and receive funds the same day or next business day. Interest rates range from 9.99% to 46.96% APR depending on your credit score and the lender.

What Can You Use a Personal Loan For?

Debt Consolidation - Combine multiple debts into one payment
Home Improvements - Renovations, repairs, or upgrades
Medical Expenses - Dental work, surgery, or treatments
Emergency Expenses - Unexpected bills or urgent needs
Car Repairs - Vehicle maintenance or repairs
Education Costs - Tuition, books, or certification programs
Wedding Expenses - Make your special day perfect
Vacation Planning - Create lasting memories
Moving Costs - Relocate with ease
Furniture & Appliances - Upgrade your home

Personal Loan FAQs

How fast can I get a personal loan in Canada?

With Loan Beaver, you can get approved within minutes and receive funds within 24 hours. Some lenders offer same-day funding if you apply early in the day. The entire process from application to money in your account typically takes less than 24 hours.

Can I get a personal loan with bad credit?

Yes! We work with lenders who specialize in bad credit personal loans. While your interest rate will be higher (typically 19.99-46.96% vs 9.99-19.99% for good credit), approval is possible with steady income. Many lenders focus more on your current income than past credit issues.

What documents do I need for a personal loan application?

Most lenders require: government-issued ID, proof of income (pay stubs or bank statements), proof of address, and void cheque or banking information. Self-employed applicants may need to provide tax returns (NOA). The entire application can be completed online.

How much can I borrow with a personal loan?

Personal loan amounts in Canada range from $1,000 to $50,000. The amount you qualify for depends on your income, credit score, existing debts, and the lender's criteria. Generally, your monthly loan payment shouldn't exceed 15-20% of your gross monthly income.

Is a personal loan better than a credit card for large expenses?

Often yes! Personal loans typically have lower interest rates than credit cards (9.99-29.99% vs 19.99-29.99% for cards). With fixed monthly payments and a set repayment schedule, personal loans help you pay off debt faster and save on interest, especially for large one-time expenses.
