Side issue: Macy's (department store) issued me a store credit card while I still had a Canadian address. Apparently they have stores somewhere in Canada. When I moved to the U.S., I simply put in a change of address.

American department-store cards can help build your U.S. credit profile. Buy something every month and pay it down to zero. They charge loan shark rates of interest!

You might also consider taking out a small bank loan for nothing other than building a credit history.

I hate to say this, but life is unpredictable. The sooner you can build your own score (instead of piggybacking on your spouse) the better.

Hi,

farmers Ins. (California) took my driving record from ICBC,(Vancouver) and gave me a unbeliveable rate, also, long time ago AT&T checked my credit with Rogers, after I asked for supervisor, and gave me new acct and everything. dont' know about now since they are cingular.

also if you look around and find a good mortgage broker, they can use your canadian credit towards purchasing a house.

for buying a car, I know in california they will do anything to sell you a car, so don't even worry about that one, I don't know about other states.
