Canadacanadian credit score in us ??

Of course - your unpaid debt will go to collection back in Canada and it get's reported that you've missed payments. The collection agency can hunt anybody down and you don't want that.

Where are you not allowed to work? You can send an international moeny order from the post office - so what if you can't make a payment at your bank.



replying to a 2007 thread,lol

Canadacanadian credit score in us ??
Well for one, I ain't no Albertan!! I'm from the home province of the 2007 Grey Cup Champs, Saskatchewan!! First few yrs, took a few classes, played a lot of hockey. Started to ref hockey last yr. But now going to school semi-full time for Registered Nursing. It is a full time schedule for many, but because I took some of the other required classes the past few yrs, it has lightened my load. I wil worry about a job May 2009 when I graduate. As a RN, pretty much gaurenteed a job.

I have been in the USA for nearly 3 years, no job and have excellent credit rating,lol When I first moved down here, had my wife put me down as an authorized user and went from there (ie put down on certain bills as the primary) But that is good news that they will look at ur Cdn credit history

I have a Capital One Mastercard and am considering not paying it off anymore. I was always making payments when I lived in Canada but now that I'm not allowed to work and they won't accept payments in American money from American banks I'm about to tell them to shove it. Could I get in trouble?


Can you transfer it to a Capital One in the US?


I'm not sure. I'd have to find out. I have a feeling I can't as it was through Bank of Montreal I believe.

You can't. I tried. lol

As for my own experience.... we recently bought a new car from Nissan. In order to get the 2.9 financing they needed my credit score. My US credit history is zero because cellphone and utility bills don't count, and I don't have any US credit cards. So the "Internet Director" at Nissan (we did a referral request through AAA online) called Nissan in Canada and asked them to pull my credit history over there. Boom. Instant financing and I'm now building US credit. In other words.... if the company's big enough, and they want your business badly enough, they'll find a way. good.gif



Yep its true, if they WANT to check, the bigger companies can check ur Cdn credit, but most are to lazy,lol

CanadaCR1 VISA Montreal NVC new info

Am I correct in seeing that it seems the NVC acceptances are in May and you are all waiting for Montreal interview date to be assigned? I was completed Aug 10 according to the recorded announcement at NVC. They said 8 weeks or less to hear from them on recorded announcement. Am I looking realistically at maybe Dec or Jan interview?? Thanks Colin

CanadaThe Annoying Co-Worker Thread

Today, I went into work 30 min early to reserve a computer for our current re-training as there are too many of us and not enough computers. I've been doubling up with a friend but we have to log in to our own stuff so there is a lot of logging out, one does it, log out, the other does it now, repeat

The meth head coworker breezed in 2 minutes before clock-in time after shooting up in his car (as per normal) and swiped my computer while I was talking to the trainer.

I fumed, but I knew the trainer saw and wasn't impressed, and I went to double up with my friend again. I complained to her about it- he pulled the same thing on her yesterday and she had to double up with me.

Later, he corners her in the hallway over whether I discussed it with her, then comes to ME all hoity-toity about how "the next time you have a problem you come to say it to MY FACE."

Now, up until now I have been a model Canadian despite the constant racial slurs and #######, but today I'd had enough and reamed him out for 5 minutes (loudly)_about what he did. The look of shock on his face as the 'wimpy Canadian' didn't just take his abuse was priceless, and he backpedaled.

If he touches/pats/tickles/etc me again because he's in one of his friendly touchy meth highs, I am going to tell him the next time he does it I will take his behind to HR. I am DONE.
