Corrections Policy

Canadian Money Guide is committed to accuracy. Personal finance information changes — rates shift, policies update, and sometimes we make mistakes. This page explains how we handle corrections and tracks every substantive change we make.

Our Commitment

We verify every rate, fee, and policy claim against primary sources before publication. When an error is identified — whether by our research team or by a reader — we correct it within 48 hours and log it here.

How to Report an Error

If you spot something wrong, out-of-date, or unclear:

Please include the page URL and what needs fixing. We review every report.

Editorial Standards

Before publication, every piece of content on Canadian Money Guide goes through a multi-step verification process:

  1. Researched against primary sources — provider websites, government publications (Bank of Canada, CRA, FCAC, OSFI), and official documentation
  2. Cross-checked against at least two independent sources where available — including community-maintained rate aggregators like highinterestsavings.ca
  3. Reviewed for accuracy, clarity, and Canadian-specific applicability — every example uses Canadian tax treatment, Canadian account types, and Canadian regulatory context
  4. Fact-checked by a second reviewer before publication on all rate-sensitive and tax-related content

Rate-sensitive content is reviewed at minimum every 30 days, or immediately following Bank of Canada rate announcements. Our content calendar triggers automated freshness checks on a weekly cycle.

Prioritizing Corrections

Not all corrections carry the same urgency. We prioritize as follows:

PriorityTypeResponse Time
P0Wrong rates, fees, or tax thresholds that could lead to a financial decision errorWithin 24 hours
P1Outdated policy references, broken government links, or factual errors in methodologyWithin 48 hours
P2Typographical errors, formatting issues, or minor clarificationsWithin 1 week

What Counts as a Correction

Typographical fixes (spelling, grammar) are applied without logging. Only substantive changes that affect a reader's financial understanding are recorded here.
