Yes — the Canada Greener Homes Loan is coming to an end. We’ve received confirmation directly from Service Organizations working with Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) that the federal government will stop taking new applications as of October 1st, 2025.

That means:

  • Initial energy audits and loan applications must be submitted before October 1st in order to be honoured.

  • If you miss the deadline, you will no longer be able to apply for the Canada Greener Homes Loan through NRCAN.

This program has helped thousands of Canadian homeowners in places like Kelowna, Calgary, and across the country finance energy-efficient upgrades such as solar panels, insulation, and heat pumps. But the opportunity is closing quickly.
