Can international students get a credit card in Canada?
Rounding it up
It is possible to obtain a credit card in Canada as an international student.
Many big banks and Fintech companies (such as KOHO) offer credit cards either specifically or beneficial for students who have little credit history and income.
Don’t sign up for a credit card without comparing the terms and perks. Also remember to educate yourself on how to use it responsibly.
The right credit card can be a powerful tool to enhance your lifestyle and establish good financial standing.
