Line of Credit in Ontario

Simply put...

One of the best ways to affordably borrow money is with a home equity line of credit - also known as HELOC. This allows you to borrow money at a low mortgage interest rate using the equity you’ve built up in your home.

For years Canadalend.com has been helping clients get a home equity loan in Ontario for various purposes, including undertaking home improvements and repairs, combining credit card payments, and even helping to pay for kids’ tuition.
