How do I obtain a credit card without a Canadian credit history?
It’s normally not easy to obtain a credit card immediately upon arrival without a Canadian credit history. However, it is easy to obtain one after 3 or 6 months of stay. If you do need to obtain one immediately on arrival, you could work it out with your bank who will ask you to make a deposit and give you a credit card equivalent to the deposited amount. This is good start to building your credit history.
