Seems like you have no idea how credit history is build up.rajkamalmohanram said:Well, he is NOT going to stay in Canada (for whatever period of time anyway) so how would the credit history build up; genuine question. You can, from some countries, open a bank account online (for instance, under ScotiaBank Start Right program) where you are allowed a one time deposit of funds before the date of travel. So, the issue of "safely transporting funds" is covered here.
If the applicant is doing a short landing and is planning in coming back for a couple of months, then it might be okay. If he is going to return after a year or so, I don't know - This doesn't seem like a good idea IMO. Really a personal choice though!
The most important factor in building a good credit history is how old your bank account is.
2ndly by opening account from outside the Canada, you cannot have Credit Cards which is required to built credit history.
Please don't post without proper knowledge. It's better to be quiet rather giving false statements and fighting with a person who has enough knowledge!!!
