Hi all,
Just wondering how to build a credit history in Canada?
I've only just recently gotten an SIN number (no SIN card yet) but I have ALREADY gotten a secured credit card as well as a bank account - both of which have no SIN number attached to it!
I've tried to tie in my new SIN to my credit card but the visa section of the bank has told me that I can't do that, as they can only do it WHEN I apply..
Just wondering how employers will check later on for credit history.. they use the SIN, am I right? Seeing as my SIN is not tied to my current credit card.. what should I do in order to begin building a credit history?
Thanks v much.
