Getting Started
|
Your first days in Canada will be busy and exciting as you and your family settle into a new life. You will need to find a place to live and apply for official documents like a Social Insurance Number (SIN) and a health card. Finding a job will also be a priority.
|
 Your Banking Arrangements |
| |
Just as important, you will need to open a bank account to safely keep your money and pay your bills. Your bank account will be the foundation of your financial life in Canada. You will rely on it for all your day-to-day financial transactions. Your bank account may also provide proof of your address when you are completing applications for official Canadian documents. |

| Building your Credit History |
| |
When you do the day-to-day things, like open a bank account and use a credit card, you begin to establish your credit history. Having a credit history will make it easier for you to borrow money for things like purchasing a home, buying a car, renting an apartment, or starting a new business. You can build a good credit history by paying your bills in full and on time, which shows lenders that you are responsible with your money.
