Maple News reports that newcomers to Canada can now gain a clearer understanding of the Canadian credit system through an upcoming live educational webinar presented by CanadaVisa in collaboration with TD Bank. Scheduled for Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. EST, this free session aims to demystify how credit works in Canada and provide practical guidance for building a healthy credit score.
Building credit is a vital step in establishing a financial foundation in Canada. A strong credit score can aid in securing everything from rental housing to mobile phone plans—and eventually, mortgages and auto loans. That’s why this dedicated webinar focuses on essential topics like why credit matters, how credit scores are calculated, and actionable strategies for improving your financial standing.
Participants will explore key areas during the session, including what credit is and how it functions in Canada, including the role of credit cards, interest rates, and the differences between secured and unsecured lending products. The webinar will also break down how your credit score is determined, what a good score looks like, and how newcomers can manage credit responsibly.
In addition to credit fundamentals, attendees will receive valuable insights into the broader Canadian banking landscape. The webinar will cover borrowing options that can support your journey as a newcomer. This learning opportunity is designed to give participants confidence in navigating financial decisions during their settlement in Canada.
