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.

Every correction logged below was verified by G.D. Sterling, the site's editor and lead researcher, before being published. Each entry lists the verified-by reviewer for accountability.

How to Report an Error

If you spot something wrong, out-of-date, or unclear:

• Email: [email protected]
• Contact form: /about/contact/

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

How We Update Rates

Rates on the site are manually verified by our research team on a recurring cycle, not scraped automatically. Most rate-sensitive pages are checked at minimum every 30 days, or immediately following a Bank of Canada rate announcement. Each verification includes pulling the rate from the provider's own published rate page, cross-checking against a second independent source where available (such as highinterestsavings.ca for HISAs), and updating the page if the rate has changed. When a verification confirms the rate is unchanged, no entry is added to this log — only changes that affected what a reader saw are recorded.

Correction Log

All substantive corrections are logged below with the date, page, a brief description of the change, and the reviewer who verified the correction. Priority levels indicate the urgency: P0 is a wrong rate, fee, or tax threshold that could affect a financial decision; P1 is an outdated policy reference or factual error in methodology; P2 is a typographical or formatting issue.

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.

Prioritizing Corrections

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

What Counts as a Correction

• Factual errors — wrong rate, fee, policy detail, or date
• Outdated information — rates that have changed, policies that have been updated
• Misleading framing — technically correct but potentially confusing presentation
• Broken links — citations or references that no longer resolve

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