With a Canadian
credit report from Equifax, you can access your Canadian credit report
and score, online in real-time.
Equifax Consumer Services Canada provides Canadian consumers online instant
access to their Canadian credit report and FICO® credit score. The credit
information in your Canadian credit report is gathered by credit reporting
agencies, sometimes called credit bureaus. There are two major credit reporting
agencies in Canada: Equifax Canada Inc., and TransUnion of Canada.
Credit grantors update individual Canadian credit reports regularly by providing
information to credit reporting agencies about their customers' credit and
payment activities. This ensures that your Canadian credit report remains
up-to-date and as complete as possible. Other sources of the information contained
in your Canadian credit report can include public records from courthouses
across the country and collection agencies.
