Review process
What gets checked
Guides and calculators are reviewed for plain-language usefulness, reasonable assumptions, missing fees, risk warnings, source references, and practical next steps. Content is educational and does not replace personalized advice from a licensed financial, tax, legal, mortgage, insurance or investment professional.
Sources may include the Canada Revenue Agency, Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, Bank of Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Canadian Securities Administrators, provider terms, account agreements, product disclosure documents, and reader-facing government guidance.
Every article should make it clear when readers need to verify current rates, fees, tax rules, eligibility, policy terms or product details directly with an official source or provider.
