It is possible that you will show a low credit score if you have no other loans, credit cards, etc. You have to have revolving accounts or other accounts to establish credit. If you are having trouble getting a credit card you can try and get a secured credit card, or have a co-signer help sign with a application for credit.

Will your bad US credit history follow you to Canada?

AnswerThe poster is not completely right. I'm an American who has moved to Canada. None of my credit history has followed me to Canada. You will basically start from scratch (which is not easy.) It is true that if you're looking for a large loan (mortgage, for instance), a bank could be persuaded to pull your US history, but for anything else (credit cards, etc.) not only will they not ask for it, but they are usually not interested in getting it. NO bank in Canada (trust me on this) will pull your US history by default. AnswerIn a short word YES. All immigrants to Canada, regardless of where they come from, start off with a neutral credit record, neither good nor bad. In your case, however, a quick computer check will show all your US credit problems, and you will very likely be denied ANY credit here in Canada.The only way to correct that is to pay off your US credit accounts and start to learn to pay CASH for things, after saving up for the item you wish to buy.I know it is hard to believe, but that is the way many of us do it. No credit cards, no interest payments, no late fees. My motto is Pay Cash and Be Happy. And of course, if you pay CASH for an item, nobody can come and take it away from you. EVER.AnswerI certainly agree where consumer debt is concerned. But, Jim, are you suggesting that US residents should NEVER get a University education or buy a home. . . two goals that are out of reach for most people without incurring debt in the thousands, or hundreds of thousands of US dollars? The US and Canada have separate credit reporting agencies. You will have neutral credit, but may find it difficult to establish credit without a history. The most honorable thing to do is make arrangements to pay off your US debts. Either way, examine your spending behavior and decide to change the habits that caused the bad credit history in the first place. Then, even if you stay in the US, your credit history will significantly improve in 7 years.Also, be aware that if you have a bankruptcy, you will not be granted immigrant status in Canada.AnswerI'm a bad one to ask about how I paid for my University degrees. I was a full time member of the Canadian Army, a military police investigator, so I had to arrange to get my education at my own expense, so YES I did pay in advance, for all of it, year by year. I was doing this long before there was such a thing as "distance learning" by computer. I did it the hard way, by correspondence courses, from where ever I my duty took me.Took me 11 years, but I did achieve a BA and then a Masters in Canadian history.I agree that most folks have to have debt, for a home, for instance, but credit cards are simply too easy to get, and too hard to get out from under, for many people.
