Editorial review and fact-check team
The MoneyMapCanada Editorial Team reviews every article and calculator for factual accuracy, source integrity, and consistency with current Canadian government guidance. Each piece is cross-checked against CRA publications, FCAC consumer guidance, CMHC rules, or CDIC coverage definitions before publication. The team also monitors for rate and rule changes and flags outdated content for revision.

How content is prepared and reviewed
Tax and salary content is written by Sarah Chen, who specialises in Canadian income tax research and registered account strategy. Her articles reference CRA's T4032 payroll deductions tables, the T1 General guide, and the CRA income tax rates page — all linked directly on each article. Banking and mortgage content is written by James Okonkwo, whose work references CMHC home-buying resources, FCAC mortgage qualification guidance, and CDIC deposit coverage rules.
Every article is reviewed by the MoneyMapCanada editorial team before publication. The review covers source accuracy (each claim is matched to a linked government page), calculation correctness (formulas are verified against CRA payroll tables or OSFI rules), and completeness (risk warnings, update dates, and source citations are confirmed present). Articles that reference rates or rules carry an updated date and are re-reviewed when underlying guidance changes.
MoneyMapCanada does not accept payment to rank, recommend, or feature any financial product or provider. If a rate, rule, or calculation on this site is incorrect, contact us through the contact page — confirmed errors are corrected within 48 hours and the article updated date is revised.
Our fact-check process
1. Source first
Every rate, rule, or threshold is traced to an official Canadian government page (CRA, FCAC, CMHC, CDIC, BoC, or CSA) before it is included in an article.
2. Calculator verification
Formulas used in our calculators are verified against the relevant published table — CRA's T4032 for payroll, OSFI guidelines for mortgages, and CRA contribution pages for RRSP and TFSA.
3. Editorial review
A second team member reviews each article for source accuracy, calculation correctness, risk disclosures, and whether any claim could mislead a reader making a real financial decision.
4. Update monitoring
Articles with time-sensitive data (tax rates, contribution limits, stress test rates) are checked against official sources at the start of each calendar year and after announced federal or provincial budget changes.
