🇨🇦 🧾 How Newcomers Can Build Credit in Canada

🇨🇦 How Canada Has Become Divided On Immigration

🇨🇦 Starting from Scratch

Newcomers to Canada often arrive with no credit history, making it hard to rent, finance, or borrow. Opening a bank account and getting a secured credit card are the first essential steps. 🏦💳

💡 Smart Habits Pay Off

Always pay your bills on time – even one missed payment can hurt your score. Set reminders or automatic payments for credit cards, utilities, and rent. Keeping credit card usage low (under 30%) helps too. 📉✅

🏠 Rent Can Help

Rent is often your biggest expense – so make it count! Use rent-reporting services like FrontLobby or SingleKey to have your on-time payments reported to credit bureaus. Just make sure you're never late! 🧾📬

⏳ Patience and Monitoring

Check your credit regularly for errors or fraud using tools from banks or credit bureaus. Over time, consistent positive habits build trust – and a healthy credit score. 📊🔍
