Where SkyCap draws the line

Income that does not count

Employment Insurance, social assistance and seasonal employment are not accepted as a main income source. Child Tax Credit does not qualify on its own, although it can sit alongside employment, pension or disability income that does.

Insolvency programmes

A programme you are still enrolled in will stop the application, and that covers bankruptcy, consumer proposals, credit counselling and debt consolidation alike. The operative word is active. SkyCap publishes no waiting period once you have been discharged, so ask before you apply rather than assuming either way.

Where SkyCap does not lend

The lending area covers Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and the three territories. Applications from Nova Scotia and Quebec are not accepted.
