Improve Your Credit Score in Canada

Canadian credit scores range from 300 to 900.

Payment history is the single largest factor in your score. Even one missed payment can drop your score by 50–100 points.Set up autopay for minimum payments on all accounts to ensure you never miss a due date.

Timeline depends on what is hurting your score. Missed payments: 6–12 months of clean history before significant improvement.Collections: score impact lessens over time; paid collections improve faster.
