Hi. After I moved to the U.S. my credit suffered back in Canada. If there is anyone on here who has knowledge about police or credit law I would appreciate your advice.

I want to become a police officer when I get my citizenship but I'm afraid my poor score in Canada will prevent me from doing so. Can police departments check my credit in Canada? Are they even interested? Or do they just care about my credit in the United States? I don't want to get into an argument about MY CREDIT; I am simply wondering about the answers to my questions. If anyone can help, thank you.

I HATE miles, gallons, pints, words spelled without u's, and all that other jazz...

I honestly don't know, but I really doubt they'll check your credit score in Canada. Its not like they'd have your SIN # to check anyway. I doubt they'd even know to ask whether you have a credit score in Canada. Just keep your US one in good standing. :thumbs:

agreed, they don't care about canadian credit, they most likely don't care about US either. I guess just look at places websites where you think you would be applying for. They list requirements of what could disqualify you or not, and from what i've seen, credit isn't even an issue for police departments.

Joe, it would be worth asking the question to the local or state police. If it could be an issue you would have some time to repair any blemishes to your credit history back home.
