Features

Loan payment frequency is flexible: weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.
Option to only pay the interest on the loan during RRSP season.
No prepayment penalties: pay off your loan whenever you want, in part or in full, without being charged extra fees.

Your caisse may agree to a longer term depending on the loan's purpose (e.g., contributing your unused RRSP contribution room) and, in some cases, on the collateral provided.

Other

Loan insurance (death and disability) available

Borrowing to invest is a leverage opportunity. Using borrowed money to purchase securities carries greater risk than purchasing them with cash. If you borrow money to purchase securities, you have an obligation to repay the loan and any interest required by the loan terms even if the value of the securities purchased declines. See a Mutual Fund Representative to learn more.
In Ontario, the annual percentage rate (APR) is equal to the posted interest rate, assuming that there are no additional charges applicable to the loan. Should there be such charges, the APR might be different.
