is it possible to buy a car through financing with zero down payment as a refugee claimants?

[Bhtsan]

Hi everyone,
I’m currently a refugee claimant in Canada and was wondering if it's possible to buy a car through financing with zero or minimum down payment. Has anyone here gone through this process while on a refugee claim? If so, I’d really appreciate any insights or references—like dealerships/sales agents or programs—that might support claimants in this situation.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes you can. I bought my car when I was still a refugee claimant with Zero down payment from Toyota. They did a hard check on my credit score, ask for proof of employment and work permit. They saw that I am full-time permanent in a prestigious company for 2 years and no one even asked of my Status. I went with my brother who is PR cos I thought that they will ask for a co-signee but it was not needed at the end of the day cos they gave me the new vehicle without asking for my status.
