<p>Hey guys,
Is it better or more practical to apply for a credit card in the U.S. now or to wait til ur in Montreal?? And does anyone know how long u have to wait in order to get ur Canadian credit card approved? tks.</p>
<p>I actually don't think poeple from the US can get canadian Credit cards, I think we can only get Debit cards, if I remember correctly, but I never really checked into, as I like using cash anyway and have a US credit card. </p>
<p>As far as getting a debit card, you can get it as soon as you arrive, I think all you need is ID and a copy of your lease to verify your address. You can pick up the lease at the housing office on University st. once you arrive.</p>
<p>i'm a canadian citizen and it took me about 2 weeks to get a credit card</p>
