Why Igloolik Residents Choose CCFD
Igloolik's economy combines government services, the Igloolik Research Centre (operated by the Nunavut Research Institute), the Melville Health Centre, and education. Igloolik is internationally known for its film production tradition — Zacharias Kunuk's Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner, shot in Igloolik, won the Camera d'Or at Cannes and put Inuit cinema on the world map. Isuma TV, co-founded by Kunuk, produces Inuit-language media that reaches audiences globally. Traditional hunting and harvesting remain important, particularly walrus, ringed seal, and beluga hunting in Foxe Basin.
From an Igloolik Research Centre worker managing between project terms, to a Melville Health Centre nurse dealing with a household expense, to a film production crew member between Isuma projects, to an Igloolik family managing the costs of heating and feeding a household in one of Foxe Basin's most isolated communities — CCFD's platform is available to all Igloolik residents.

Why Nunavut's Situation Is Different
Most Canadian provinces have their own payday lending legislation with specific per-$100 fee caps (Ontario: $14, BC: $15, NS: $19, SK: $17). Nunavut, along with the Yukon and the Northwest Territories, has not enacted dedicated payday lending legislation — so federal criminal code provisions apply instead.
This means the specific regulatory framework differs from southern provinces, but federal consumer protection requirements — particularly around disclosure and interest rate caps — still apply to all loans made to Igloolik residents. CCFD only works with lenders who comply with all applicable federal requirements.
- Federal Criminal Code rate cap applies to all Igloolik loans
- Full cost disclosure required by law before any loan is finalized
- No legitimate lender ever charges upfront fees before disbursing funds
- Applying is free and will not affect your credit score
- Always read the complete loan agreement before accepting any offer
Important — Nunavut consumers: Always verify that any lender you work with discloses the complete total cost of your loan before you sign anything. Never pay fees upfront to access a loan. If something feels wrong, do not proceed. Contact the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) at 1-866-461-3222 with any concerns.
