Editorial Policy

This page explains how articles on True North Invest are written, checked and kept current.

Sources

Figures such as contribution limits, tax rates, benefit amounts and interest rates come from primary sources wherever possible: the Canada Revenue Agency, Government of Canada, the Bank of Canada, Statistics Canada, provincial regulators, and product providers’ own documents. Articles list their sources.

Accuracy and updates

Every article shows its publish date, and its update date when it has been materially revised. Articles that depend on figures that change each year, such as TFSA and RRSP limits, are reviewed when the new figures are released.

Errors are corrected promptly. You can report one through the contact page.

Reviews, comparisons and rankings

When we compare platforms or products, we explain the criteria we used, such as fees, account types, features and ease of use. Whether a provider pays us a commission has no effect on whether it is included or where it ranks.

Independence

Advertisers, affiliate partners and sponsors do not see or approve articles before publication. Sponsored content is labelled “Sponsored” at the top. Details are in the affiliate disclosure.

Education, not advice

Articles explain how things work and what to consider. They do not tell a particular reader what to buy. See the disclaimer.
