Who We Help — All Credit Situations

If you have bad credit, no credit, a bankruptcy on file, an active or completed consumer proposal, no Canadian credit history as a newcomer, or self-employment income without traditional pay stubs, you are in the right place. Our lenders have specific programs for every one of these situations.

There is no minimum credit score to apply. No SIN required.

Payment Estimator

How Much Could You Borrow?

Most Alberta car loan applicants qualify for somewhere between $8,000 and $60,000 depending on income, credit profile, and down payment. The table below uses the upper end of each tier (Prime ~7.99%, Sub-prime ~11.99%, Deep sub-prime ~17.99%), so most real offers come in lower than what you see here.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

AutoNova Finance does not run a credit check at the application stage. If a matched lender needs to run a credit inquiry to finalize your offer, they will confirm the timing and type of inquiry with you before it happens.
No. Your SIN is not required at any point during the AutoNova Finance application. It will only be requested later by the dealership for the final financing paperwork — and only once you have agreed to proceed with a specific loan offer.
Most applicants receive an initial response within one business hour. In many cases — particularly for applicants with stable income and a clear credit profile — same-day approval and same-day vehicle pickup is possible. We will let you know your estimated timeline when a specialist contacts you.
You do not need any documents to submit the application form. If you proceed to the final approval stage, you will typically need: a government-issued photo ID, proof of income (pay stubs, NOA, or 3–6 months of bank statements for self-employed applicants), and proof of residence. We will let you know exactly what is required based on your lender match.
Yes. All data submitted through autonovafinance.ca is encrypted using 256-bit SSL — the same security standard used by Canadian banks. Your information is shared only with the Alberta partner lender matched to your application. It is never sold to third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances.
