The pandemic that ravaged Canada’s economy and caused widespread unemployment has also caused interest rates to fall to near historic lows. Those historic lows are still available among many lenders.
Currently, there are a few lenders who have a five-year fixed rate at 1.99 percent, which is the lowest it has been in Canadian history. Variable interest rates are comparable as well. And depending on your situation these low interest rates could mean huge savings.
