YOUR CREDIT SCORE

In Canada, your credit score (beacon score) can range from 300- 900. So what’s good credit? Good credit in terms of securing a large loan like a mortgage starts at 680, great credit is in the mid to high 700’s and amazing credit is 800 and above. Fair credit is around the 540 mark and anything under is a credit that requires immediate attention to get back on track. Now, this is not to say you can’t obtain a mortgage if your credit is lower than 680, it just means you may be placed with an alternative lender until the time comes when you improve your credit score enough to qualify with a traditional lender.
