New to Canada
New to Canada?
Let’s get you moving.
Starting life in Alberta comes with a lot to figure out. Finding a vehicle doesn’t have to be one of the complicated parts.
Tell us what you’re looking for, your budget, and a little about your situation. We’ll help you understand the next steps and explore vehicle and financing options that may fit.
Getting started won’t affect your credit score.
Starting Fresh
New country.
New credit history.
Your financial history from another country may not automatically give Canadian lenders the full picture. That doesn’t mean you should assume vehicle financing isn’t possible.
We help newcomers explore options based on their individual situation and understand what may be required along the way.
You may still have options if you:
- Recently moved to Canada
- Are buying your first vehicle in Canada
- Have limited Canadian credit history
- Work full-time, part-time, contract, or self-employed
- Recently started a new job
Every application is different.
We’ll help you understand your options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a car loan with no Canadian credit history?
It may still be possible. Lenders look at more than credit history, including your income, employment, and the vehicle itself. Tell us your situation and we’ll help you understand what may be available.
What documents do I need to apply?
Usually identification such as a passport, work permit, study permit or PR card, proof of income, employment details, and a Canadian address and bank account. Requirements vary by application.
Do I need a down payment?
Not always. Requirements depend on the lender, the vehicle, and your individual application.
Can I finance a used vehicle?
Yes. Financing may be available on a wide range of used cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans.
Does getting started affect my credit score?
No. Completing the initial form won’t affect your credit score. If a formal credit check is needed later, that will be explained before moving forward.
How long does the process take?
It depends on your situation and how quickly documents come together. We’ll tell you what to expect once we’ve looked at your details.
Do you help newcomers outside Calgary?
