How to build your credit score — and why it matters

So, you think Canada will open doors to a better life. You're right! If you take the right steps when you first arrive, you, like so many other newcomers, can achieve so much here. 🇨🇦

But, did you know that the Canadian Dream is built on credit? Newcomers arrive with no Canadian credit history, making it even more important to make smart financial choices early on. That's why we’re thrilled to team up with our trusted partners at Scotiabank to bring you an exclusive webinar that will guide you through the essentials of building credit from day one in Canada.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

📝Pre-arrival: Learn about credit, and set yourself up for success.

🛬Your first week: Get connected with the right team who can help you reach your financial goals.

🏙️Your first year: Explore strategies to strengthen your financial standing with smart credit decisions.

🏡Beyond: Understand how good credit habits will support your long-term financial goals and help you fulfill your Canadian dream.

Plus, we’ll be sharing an exciting announcement live during the event. 👀
