A credit rating is a current assessment of the creditworthiness of a borrower with respect to a specified obligation. It indicates the capacity and willingness of a borrower to pay interest and principal in a timely manner.
The Province of Ontario's current ratings are as follows:

Long-term Ratings are also assigned an outlook indicating the likely direction of an issuer's rating over the intermediate term, typically ranging from 6 months to 2 years.
Short-term Ratings are for debt maturities of less than one year. Ratings are graded into several categories, ranging from the highest-quality obligations to default.
