Thank you.

So can we us US credit report for canadian credit application? If I need to drop 25%, then I must rent first. Average house in Alberta is for 500K...that means a down payment of $125K!!!
Leon said:Yes, I live in Edmonton. Normally the downpayment is 5% and the rest on mortgage for 25 or in some cases 40 years. If you are fresh from the US, it depends on what kind of credit you have. If you have good credit there and you can make it follow you, say you get a credit report from there and bring it to your bank in Canada or they can check on you if they really wanted, you should be able to get a mortgage, otherwise you might need a couple of yrs. to build credit.
