What if we don’t want to port our credit history?
Comment from : Zentayga

we've been advised to not apply for a ITIN by our Canadian accountant because it opens up too many chances for the IRS to investigate you Any thoughts?
Comment from : Stewart Dowbiggin

I noticed you didn't say anything about RBC -US Why ? brI was planning to capitalize on being a RBC avion holder and get a US account with them
Comment from : Adri K

How do you get the US business cards if you don't have an EIN because your business isn't based in Canada? I have done all of the steps, but I am unable to get a business card as I dont have a registered US business How does that work?

Comment from : Samy B

Hi, When i check 24/7 Parcel address on USPS tool, commercial mail receiving agency is on YES Do you know if they changed their policy ?
Comment from : Alexis GAECHTER

24/7 parcel has closed in niagara falls Any alternative thanks
Comment from : MKZ

Hi thanks for the help Does the 5/24 apply to canadian cards as well?
Comment from : MKZ

Does this affect your tax information?!
Comment from : allxiees journal

Is using the address of a mail forwarding service illegal? Like if you travel to the US as a Canadian, would that give you any trouble? Or let’s say in the future you decide to move to the us
Comment from : Ameen

thanks mate great video Does this work for corporate credit cards too?
Comment from : Gabriel

Thank you! In the video at 12:48 you said after having first Personal US American Express card I can apply for many Business US American Express cards, so apply for Business US American Express cards doesn’t require ITIN after I got my first Personal US American Express card? How long should I wait after getting my first Personal US American Express card before applying for Business US American Express cards? I need Business US credit card to run ads for my business 🙂
Comment from : Gam Dao

If you already have a Can AMEX account, do they still give you the welcome bonus from AMEX US?
Comment from : vald447

IF they ask to verifed your identity with your ID it doesn't matter if they see the canadian address on my ID?
Comment from : Christie swail

Is this worth it? has anyone tried if they dont get US $ income and have to pay bank foreign exchange fee when paying off the credit card?
Comment from : M C

Ty 👍 1st step followed Opened the US address
Comment from : Mark Cluff

Comment from : ALI HAIDER

Do you need to update Amex with your ITIN so they report your history with them to it?
Comment from : Cyril

Good info
Comment from : ALI HAIDER

Does it have to be an Amex card or any card in the us?
Comment from : SuperGamingAli

Thanks Alert I am an expat US citizen I use a US based mail forwarding service for my convenience In my experience, US credit card issuers and the US Post Office recognize the forwarding service as a commercial address and NOT valid as a residential address YMMV

Want cash equivalence for your miles and points? CR gives you the best when converting 💯

Can I do this without a US VISA? I'm an Indian in Canada looking to get a PR here
Comment from : Arka Mukherjee

I just followed your process Used 24/7 to set up address for US Address Sent in application Amex asked to call I provided statement as they requested Representative says to wait 3 to 4 days for response It’s not as smooth as others but hoping it all works out
Comment from : Linwood Siu

This was the best video you made I think Thanks
Comment from : MICHAEL SCOTT

ok but what happens if i don't go to the US? 24/7 parcel doesn't seem to be an option as I'd have to go in person to pick it up
Comment from : Average Angel

My wife is Canadian and it works both ways! Amex is a GREAT way to start for this !
Comment from : Chief Executive

Thank you so much for your advice on this video! I got approved for the US version of the AMEX platinum card yesterday and the process was a lot easier than expected ;) I actually had a TD NA cross border account and TD NA VISA card since 2013 so the approval was easy since they must have saw that I had prior US credit history When I lodged the application, I got an email stating that they needed more info and all I had to do was provide them with a copy of my Canadian drivers license Easy peasy!!! brbrOnly drawback of going with the US version of the AMEX platinum card is that they will get rid of the complimentary access for up to 2 additional guest access of the Centurion lounge from Feb 2023 This apparently doesn't apply if you have the Canadian or any other international version of the card Aside from this, the welcome bonus is higher and you do get many more 1:1 transfer options on many airline frequent flyer programs
Comment from : Steve Ma

when you get a US bank account in Canada for example RBC usa account, do I need to add my US address to just mailing or mailing and billing? thanks :)
Comment from : Melia Sufi

I am 71 and just starting to try an get some benefit from my credit cards Additionally I am nomadic and do not have a home So don't have a lot of most people's "daily" expenses Born and lived in Canada, with Can passport and pay Can taxes Given that you recommend building up a US credit history for a few years after getting your first US credit card, is there any point in me going this route? Realistically I don't have that many years left :-)
Comment from : Ellie Parkinson

Thanks for this guide Ricky Just got my Hilton Honors base card Am I able to manage both my amex canadian cards and us cars on the same App?
Comment from : SHEJ4N

Hi Ricky In Step4 (14:20 minute of this video) you say you need a document justifying your need for an ITIN Is it just an explanation letter - or do you need some particular form to be filled?brIf you need to file a gambling income to the IRS - do you have to show them an actual income - or you could say I do that a lot throughout the year and want to be able to file?brAnd last question - do you do it any time during the year - or there are nuances of timing?brThanks!
Comment from : Alex Kogan

Just a little problem with the info, going for a platinum is actually a bad idea, since it’s a charge card instead of a normal credit card, it doesn’t help as much for your credit history (it doesn’t report credit utilization and such)
Comment from : SerLizar

Whoever can share their experience,brHow do you fit a US card in your spending habits? Meaning, a CAD credit card, I will spend on my everyday purchases and will meet the Bonus requirement But doing the same with a US credit card, wouldn’t that force a foreign transaction fee?
Comment from : Nick MC

As awesome as this guide is, is it not fraud? "Prove you actually reside there" even though you obviously still live in Canada? Am I missing something?
Comment from : Victor Jackson

This is another great guide Ricky! Do you have any tips for meeting the minimum US credit cards (USD) spending while in Canada (CAD)?
Comment from : Google Google

When opening a US bank account with one of the Canadian banks, I noticed you recommend changing your address to your US address immediately after setting it up Do you just change your mailing address or do you change the Permanent Address? I noticed the Permanent Address is supposed to be your primary residence, but maybe that's the right call if you want to make things work
Comment from : PTE

Hey man, you mention the US bank account that has our address on it? How does it work? I do not reside in the US, how do I a US address that has my name on it?
Comment from : Howard Lin

Well done to figure this out You are hardcore
Comment from : Russell Hannon

Hahaha! Balls to the wall!
Comment from : Vincent Wenn

We need to talk about the elephant in the roombrbrYou're still in your pyjamas :D lol
Comment from : Bronz

You should consider making a video talking about tips on achieving the signup bonuses / paying off your US credit card statements as a Canadian
Comment from : Sam Zong

LOL "balls to the wall" LOL - Ricky you come up with the best expressions I still remember the "low hanging fruit" comments from previous videos! LOL
Comment from : Boss Finch Financial

Hi, I appreciate the content you're making! You seem to really have a way to explain this topic in the most simple terms I was wondering if you can make a video on square 1 If you had to restart this journey from the beginning, as a young Canadian, how would you go about it? What would be your first card, when would you get a second Little things like this would be so impactful and so helpful Once again, much appreciated
Comment from : LL

Damn Ricky, I give good advice to people on an easy mailbox service and your erasing that advise Wonder why? 🤔🤑
Comment from : Michael Reid

When asked to provide a copy of your passport to Amex, can you confirm if a non-canadian passport + PR card can work for a PR living in Canada? I humbly suggest you tailor your guide not only to Canadian citizens but to PR's as well as they makeup a huge majority of Canada Thank you in advance
Comment from : K V

i might get a usa cc in the future but too lazy to do all the process loli'll just use a cdn cc with no fx fees!
Comment from : klepto dathief

hi PoT, whats a good usa card to use in vegas? thx
Comment from : klepto dathief

Another item to watch out for is that if you use an address in California to open a bank account that earns interest, there is a chance you may receive an intimidating letter from the California Franchise Tax Board asking why you didn't file a California state tax return (even if you don't have to as a non-resident) Better stick to addresses in Washington state or other states such as Texas for Florida which don't have state income taxes!
Comment from : yvr2002rtw

If I Apply for a ITIN , do I need to file US tax return ammul;y ?
Comment from : Frank Zhou

What’s the bonus for US platinum Amex?
Comment from : Afzal Shaikh

I wonder if this applies for US citizens that want to go for Canadian credit cards as well
Comment from : getsugatenshoFTW

Bunch of BS I am a duel citizen of USA an Canada brDon' t get fooled IRS wil come after you I you if you want to get an US credit cards, We are already paying tax for our income in Canada 60 of our income brOn top of that we don't need to pay more tax to US govt Just because we maintain dual citizen
Comment from : Golam M Ahmed

Do we have to file taxes with IRS every year or can we stop?
Comment from : harshit rastogi

Can I transfer my Canadian Amex to a US Amex directly(so it is a product transfer instead of a new application )? Is it okay to let the credit card issuer know that mu US address is only for that purpose? Thanks!
Comment from : A W

Great video Ricky, I just used this process to get my first US card (Hilton Honours Surpass, as it meshes well with our future travel plans) I went the Nova Credit route and had to provide a PDF of my US bank statement but it was easy and I was approved right away
Comment from : Jme

Could you please do a video of the reverse too?
Comment from : Jack McDermott

been waiting on the damned border for 18 months! Got US address in the Falls, ready to rock Will be on my way to Rochester ASAP (closest Chase) There's a Costco there too I'd prefer not to link my CA & US credit files
Comment from : Skunks Misery

This is useful, I have an Amex in my home country and I could just use my existing account and it could retrieve my details for a smooth card application process
Comment from : Kenneth Mak

Is there a way for Americans to get Canadian credit cards?
Comment from : Archie U

Hey Ricky, I got the Amex no fee hilton card end of sept through nova credit as my first US card But now the bonvoy brilliant offer is too good to pass up What would be my best bet to get approved? Try with nova credit again?
Comment from : Joshua Hou

This is great, but is this legal?
Comment from : Paolo S

Hey! Thanks so much for creating your content You have really opened up my eyes when it comes to how to utilize Aeroplan points and helped guide me to sign up for a credit card for the bonus welcome points I travel to the Caribbean at least once a year from Vancouver, and I scored a business class one way ticket to Jamaica just by signing up for the TD Infinite (and, of course, paying the taxes/fees) - for 33k points! Your content is very useful Thanks again!
