The Canada Car Program is a free way for Canadians to get matched with a car loan — whatever their credit looks like. Whether you have excellent credit, bruised credit, no credit history, or are recovering from a consumer proposal or bankruptcy, our lender network includes lenders that work with your situation. Fill out the secure form above in about 30 seconds and see what you may qualify for, with no cost and no obligation.
Why Canadians Choose the Canada Car Program
- One application, a network of lenders. Instead of applying bank by bank, a single 30-second application lets multiple lenders review your file.
- Every credit situation is welcome. Good credit, bad credit, no credit, newcomers to Canada, students and self-employed drivers can all apply.
- Fast answers. Many applicants hear back the same day, and some drive away within a few days, depending on documents and vehicle availability.
- Applying will not hurt your credit score. The initial form is a soft inquiry only.
- 100% free, no obligation. You review your options and stay in control — you never have to accept an offer.
How the Canada Car Program Works
- Apply online. Fill in the short form at the top of this page with basic details about your income, employment and the vehicle you want.
- Get matched. Your application is reviewed by lending partners who work with your credit profile, including bad credit, no credit and newcomer files.
- Review your options and drive. If approved, a representative walks you through the rate, term and payment. Choose your car, truck, SUV or van, sign with the lender, and hit the road.
Approved for Every Credit Situation, Coast to Coast
From Ontario to British Columbia, Alberta to the Atlantic provinces, the Canada Car Program is open to drivers in every province. Our lending partners specialise in flexible auto financing, so past credit problems do not automatically disqualify you — and every on-time payment you make afterwards helps rebuild your credit score.

The Canada Car Program from Ontario Car Program
Ontario Car Program is a free online service that matches Canadian drivers with auto lenders and dealerships that can finance their next vehicle. Whether your credit is excellent, bruised or brand new, one short application lets lenders review your file so you can see what you may qualify for before you visit a dealership.
Our Canada Car Program is available to applicants in Ontario and across Canada. It is a private lender-matching service, not a government program, and applying does not commit you to a loan.
Is the Canada Car Program a government program?
No. There is no federal program in Canada that gives away cars or pays for car loans. Past federal initiatives such as the Retire Your Ride vehicle-scrappage program and the iZEV electric-vehicle rebate were incentives tied to specific vehicles, not financing programs. The Canada Car Program is a private, free lender-matching service: you apply once, and lenders that work with your credit profile review your file.
Who we help
- Drivers with bad credit or past collections
- Newcomers to Canada and first-time buyers with little credit history
- People rebuilding after a bankruptcy or consumer proposal
- Buyers looking for low or no down payment options
Before you apply
Interest rates and approval depend on your credit, income, existing debts and the vehicle you choose, so no applicant is guaranteed a specific rate. Use our car loan calculator to estimate a comfortable monthly payment, and check current car loan interest rates in Canada so you know what to expect. Have proof of income, a valid driver’s licence and proof of address ready to speed things up.
Canada Car Program: quick answers
Does applying affect my credit score?
No. The application is a soft inquiry. A hard check only happens later, with your consent, when a lender prepares a firm offer.
Do I need a down payment?
Not always. Zero-down approvals are possible for applicants with steady income, though a down payment lowers your monthly payment.
Which provinces are covered?
All ten provinces. Lenders are matched to your province and credit profile.
What APR should I expect?
Rates are set by the lender and typically range from about 0% to 30% depending on credit, term and vehicle.
