    Credit counselling in Canada: agencies listed in each province

    Quick summary

    Credit Counselling Canada lists member agencies in every province. It lists none in Yukon, the Northwest Territories or Nunavut, and sends people there to a remote counsellor through its toll-free line, 1-866-398-5999. Counselling is not the same as a consumer proposal or bankruptcy, which only a licensed trustee can file. Compare your options in consumer proposal vs bankruptcy.

    What to ask before you sign up

    • Is the first session free, and what does it cost after that?
    • How is the agency paid? Ask if it gets money from the lenders you owe.
    • Will you set up a debt management plan, and what happens to your credit if you do?
    • Who will actually work on your file?
    • What are the fees to start and each month?

    The directory page we read is dated 2020 in its page data, so call to confirm that an agency is still open before you plan around it.
