Standalone Canadian HELOCs require interest-only payments — your balance never goes down unless you choose to pay extra. Amortizing pays principal too.

HELOC rates float with the Bank of Canada's policy rate. A 1% rate hike on a $75,000 balance increases the interest-only payment by about $63 per month.
