Minimum income for
a car loan in Canada.

The minimum income for a car loan in Canada depends on the lender and the vehicle price. Major banks typically require $2,500–$3,000/month minimum. But specialty lenders — the kind Easy Ride Canada works with — have programs starting at $1,500/month for the right vehicle and down payment combination. Your income type matters too: employment, self-employment, EI, disability, pension, and government benefits can all qualify.
