Why It Matters
Having your banking established early allows you to receive income, pay expenses, transfer funds internationally, and build your Canadian credit history more quickly.
Credit Cards
Building Canadian Credit
Canadian lenders typically rely on Canadian credit history, which means your existing credit score from another country may not transfer.
We work with banking partners to help eligible physicians establish credit as early as possible.
We Assist With
- Personal credit card applications
- Corporate credit cards
- Building Canadian credit history
- Understanding Canadian lending requirements
Moving Your Money
Bringing Funds to Canada
Transferring money internationally involves more than simply sending a wire transfer.
We help you understand how to move funds efficiently while ensuring the appropriate documentation is available for tax and banking purposes.
Foreign Exchange (FX)
Managing Currency Exchange
Exchange rates can have a significant impact when you're transferring savings, purchasing property, or funding your new life in Canada.
We can help you understand your options and coordinate with trusted foreign exchange providers when appropriate.
Considerations
- Timing large transfers
- Exchange rate fluctuations
- Property purchases
- Investment transfers
- Corporate funding

Pre-Arrival Financing
Start Before You Land

This often allows physicians to drive their new vehicle within days of arriving in Canada.
