How can I get a credit card if I am an international students in canada?

Question

I am not permanent resident here nor do I work. how can I get a credit card?

Answer 1

Lie on the credit card application.  Of course, that will expose you to prosecution for credit card fraud. If you are a student and not working, how do you expect to pay the credit card company?  Having a credit card doesn't mean you don't need money, you still have to pay for your purchases, the card simply lets you walk around without cash in your pocket.

Answer 2

If you don't have a job and are not a resident then getting a credit card is not likely to happen!

The only thing i can think of that you could do is apply for a secured card, one where you put a certain amount into an account the bank holds as security for the loan and get a credit card offering your deposit as security.

If you do that then you should know that you lose control of this money and it will still be hard to get a credit card without some sort of employment!

Answer 3

You will not be given credit based on your status in Canada.  Why do you think that a company will give you credit when they can't hold you to their agreement to repay it?
