    Great video ! The fact that I’ll have to use credit card to improve my credit score was a bit counter intuitive for me to understand initially

      Same for me! I came from background of "credit cards are a capitalist evil, stay away from them" 😅

    that was super helpful, thanks! also, it's such a pain in the ass to maintain a good credit score with a secured visa. especially when your limit is 500$ 😭

      oh " good old" days! Anna managed to do a workaround, by depositing the funds required during immigration into an investment account - that way the deposited sum served as a collateral, so she was able to get a proper credit card.. BUT one actually have to have a large sum to deposit 😨

    Hii! Thanks for the video :) as always the info so helpful. I have 2 questions.
    1. As a newcomer student, can I request a student loan?
    2. I do have some credit history where I live (outside Canada). Do you think if I get a credit history certificate from the bank here it may be useful in a major Canadian bank?

    youtube can't show me a video that people of two different countries married in Canada.
    I just want to know that two non-blond married each other and they were not from same country. That's what I'm looking for. I'm not blond, don't want a blond girl. running away form my countrymates (Canada has lots of them)

    • @MakeThatChange
      @MakeThatChange  Před 2 lety

      Every second couple I know are from different countries, that's the beauty of Canada! :) You just gotta look!

    I don't understand why people that are financially sound and in their 50s are still preoccupied with their credit score. What is left to buy at that stage in their life?
